This collection from Teachers TV features videos which provide great lesson ideas and informative demonstrations of techniques used by secondary teachers in mathematics lessons at a variety of schools covering topics such as:

*circumference and diameter
*dynamic geometry
*investigations
*...

This resource provides a lesson plan and all the related materials to teach children about the principles of building and programming robots. It relates the components of a robot to the equivalents in humans for example relating human senses to the robots sensors, muscles to motors and brain to computer and program...

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this series of activities investigates heat transfer and the thermal insulation properties of sleeping bags. In the investigation, students: * Consider the requirements for different categories of sleeping bags. * Measure the volume of air trapped in a...

After investigating how photovoltaic cells are used and then making a series of electronic circuits of increasing complexity, students investigate some potential modifications to the circuits they have designed and made in the ‘Let there be light 2' activity.

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), involves investigating how photovoltaic cells are used and then using this technology to make a series of electronic circuits of increasing complexity. This could form the basis of a design and...

In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students investigate the photovoltaic effect by manufacturing a simple circuit and integrating it into a product, in this case a version of the popular jitterbug project.

In this activity from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), students investigate the photovoltaic effect by designing and making a solar power night-light circuit. This could form the basis of a design and make assignment project in design and technology...

This edition of the Computing at School (CAS) newsletter is focused on physical computing, and features:

*The BBC Micro-Bit and Make It Digital projects

*CPD tips with Barefoot and Quickstart

*Primary school activities with Scratch and Makey Makey

*Scratch projects with Microsoft Kinect...

These ASE resources illustrate an approach to investigations for students with specific, moderate or severe learning difficulties in a special school. The ideas described here are used to help individual students progress and can be applied to any mainstream or special...

In this activity students will do climbing exercises on a rib or a climbing frame to improve their balance, muscle strength and coordination.

This resource is from the Mission X collection of activities which is an international educational challenge that focuses on health, science, fitness and nutrition...

From Practical Action, this resource encourages students to look at how design specifications are balanced when developing new products.

A series of wheels are shown that are in perfect ‘non-slip’ contact with their neighbours and driven by a first wheel. The diameter of each wheel is given. The final wheel has letters evenly...

Level 1 Fraction Question contains eight multiple choice questions requiring students to answer a variety of questions in different context requiring skills such as being able to find a fraction of an amount and express one amount as a fraction of another in its simplest form.

Level 2 whole number questions contains thirteen multiple choice questions covering the topics of calculation estimation, money, speed, fractions, percentages and order of operations.

Developed by the Secondary National Strategy, this project and materials started after a trial in 2007 under the name of the ‘Progressing to Level 6 and beyond in science’ project, commonly abbreviated to the Level 6+ project. It was intended to enable teachers to raise...
