The Supporting Physics Teaching initiative from the Institute of Physics is intended to support specialist and non-specialist teachers who teach 11-16 physics.

Each topic contains a physics narrative, teaching and learning issues and teaching approaches:

• The physics narrative explains the physics of...

Students will explore the difference between RISC and CISC instruction sets by navigating a rover to different locations on a given map. They will explore how increasing the range of instructions can reduce the number of instructions required but increase the amount of data required to store the commands. They will...

For this session students will think about what instructions are needed within the software of the ExoMars rover and how they will make the hardware work to complete tasks successfully. There will be a focus on three steps within computational thinking: identify the problem, decomposition and collecting data. After...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of instrumentation engineer and STEM Ambassador, Boye Odukunle.

Boye develops precise specifications clients who are building 'plants' or 'facilities' that process oil and gas following its extraction from reserves.

The job offers...

The module, from the Nuffield Foundation, focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of directed numbers. The approach is the highly unusual one of representing directed numbers by equivalence classes of ordered pairs. This representation is supported by the use of a cardboard ‘machine’ which the...

Integrated Science, from the Wreake Vally Academy, is a series of three books designed to support science teaching of students aged 11 to 14. The books were published in 1976 well before the introduction of the National Curriculum for science. In many ways it heralded the National Curriculum by providing a balanced...

They provided a balanced science curriculum that included biology, chemistry, physics and encouraged scientific investigation as a way of promoting scientific thinking and...

This collection of resource materials from the National Strategies focuses on important ideas and processes which underpin a sound understanding of mathematical thinking and reasoning in the key areas of proportional reasoning, linear equations, geometrical thinking and handling data.  ...

This resource from SMILE contains eight interactive spreadsheets as described below:

Rolling one dice: simulates the rolling of one dice and then records the number in the frequency table and...

This study guide, from the National Strategies, offers tried and tested practical suggestions for you to use in the classroom when considering purposeful practical work in science. The suggestions draw upon the academic research given in...

This set of Interactive Teaching Programs (ITPs), developed by the National Numeracy Strategy, were originally intended for use in daily numeracy lessons to develop key mathematical concepts in the primary phase. However they can be used equally well with students in Key Stage Three for demonstration and...

Interactive Teaching Programs (ITPs) are an ICT-based tool developed by the National Strategies to support the teaching of key concepts in mathematics. Where available, manuals which describe how the ITP works and could be used are posted as separate files.
