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

• Use observations to determine whether a substance is in solution.

• Recognise that a compound has properties (including solubility) that are distinct from its...

Formulae is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students will be familiar with the term 'reading age' and here they apply different formulae to a selection of text samples, before comparing and considering the accuracy of the results obtained.

Substitution into...

This role-play activity, from Eurostemcell, allows students to explore some of issues around stem cell research and its medical applications, enabling them to think about and develop their own views on this very exciting, controversial field. The role play has been designed to address the following issues:

This resource from SMILE Mathematics consists of six themed handling data projects. Each project has teacher guidance giving possible hypothesis within the theme and also potential outcomes at different mathematical levels for each project under the headings: planning...

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

• Explain that the properties of a compound may not be inferred from the properties of elements made up of its constituent atoms.

• Use particle diagrams to represent the...

This resource from Defence Dynamics asks students to create and interpret a variety of graphs. The types of graph covered are time series, moving average, stem and leaf, cumulative frequency and scattergraphs.

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, is a video that explains why the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere experience different seasons at the same time. It uses clear diagrams and animations to demonstrate how the tilt of...

SMILE Card 2324 is a booklet containing six sections; counting activities, place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, number puzzles and types of number.

These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to introduce and explain the phenomenon of dissolving.

Dissolving is recognised by the formation of a clear mixture. Before mixing,...

This series of videos, named Recollections, shows how Werner von Siemens, who had an inventive mind and a knack for new technology, went from being a soldier to building a global corporation. It is a good example of how careers can change dramatically and persistence has its rewards.

Tunnelworks is a series of teaching and learning resources linking mathematics and science to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, a major new sewer that will help protect the River Thames from increasing pollution. Background to the project is given in the ...

Purpose: Digital tools have radically changed the way that fieldwork data can be recorded and saved. There is no longer a need for clipboards and pencils in the field, as digital technology can record details of observations, times, location and images within a single app. This data can be saved to an online data...

The shortage of specialist teachers of mathematics has been a concern for many years and this resource, from the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), is designed to help organisations focus upon a plan of action, which will lead to better recruitment and retention of mathematics teachers.
