This literature review, by NFER, sought to address the following research questions:

• What does AfL in science involve?
• What AfL techniques are...

From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this cartoon booklet introduces particle physics, particle accelerators and the Large Hadron Collider. This clear, concise and entertaining booklet explains what a particle accelerator such as the LHC is and the questions it is trying to answer, such as ‘...

Programme code runs on individual devices and as cloud applications, with data sent to and from machines and humans alike. These introductory activities explore the design of algorithms that span the internet of things, and consider the hardware components...

What is the Internet of Things (IoT) and how can it help firefighting in the future?

These activities explore how design can improve the equipment that fire fighters use, improving safety for both the general public and the fire fighters themselves.

The single-lesson one-hour activity requires no...

This collection of mathematics teaching materials are designed to help students discover how the Internet of Things (IoT) can connect the everyday objects around us, while exploring a number of mathematical concepts.

Single-lesson one-hour activities, as well as more extended five-hour activities, are...

This collection of STEM clubs teaching materials are designed to help students discover how communities can put measures into place to make sure people and properties are safe, and look at how the IoT can bring additional benefits to this safety.

The IoT is already impacting on fire safety in areas such as fire...

Explorers need strong bones so they can face the physical challenges placed on their bodies while in space. The longer astronauts are in the environment of space, the weaker their bones become due to a lack of loading forces. Bones below the waist are most affected by reduced gravity environments, and the bones...

Produced by FootageVault, these videos from NASA illustrate the effects of apparent weightlessness as astronauts live and work in space. Clips include astronauts in Skylab...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Explain what is meant by movement, growth, nutrition, excretion, respiration, reproduction and sensitivity (the characteristic processes of living organisms).

• Explain...

This lesson goes into more detail about the specific Apollo missions that returned the Lunar samples in this kit. It also combines coordinate systems with high resolution Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images to challenge students to locate the lunar landing sites and hardware that was left behind on the surface of...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

Sessions in this resource look at:

• Loci - kinds of loci (using rich collaborative tasks)
• Loci - distinguishing loci based on their conditions (using rich collaborative...

This interactive excel file allows students to investigate loci. Each of the interactive sheets enables students to see random points on or near the locus and how the locus is constructed. Loci include the locus of points equidistant from a point, from a line segment...

This resource consists of 12 instant maths ideas, ideal for use as starter questions, extension question or probing questions to assess understanding, providing students with the opportunity to explore loci and constructions using physical activities, by solving problems such as the goat and the shed problem,...
