This London Engineering Project paper, from The Royal Academy of Engineering, describes a range of activity days which supported the engineering diploma in schools who have students who may decide to continue studying the subject to degree level.

A selection of worksheets and support material, provided by ASE, for use in mainstream science. Worksheet topics include the water cycle, structure of a plant, pressure, adaptation, states of matter, the heart and the carbon cycle.

There are twelve resource books in the whole series and this is a sample of...

This resource from Inquiry Maths is designed to encourage students to explore connections between surface area and volume.

The surface area...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of surface area and volume, from counting the number of cubes in a solid to find the volume to finding maximum volumes of a solid.

Surface area and volume pack one...

This activity follows on from a previous graphics surface project. Previously a single graphics surface was created - this Python program uses multiple surfaces to build more complex graphics and to create effective animations.

Students are encouraged to experiment with the behaviour of the program, and to...

The Royal Society and the Association of Science Education commissioned a wide reaching survey on the provision, roles, responsibilities, working conditions and opinions of laboratory technicians in secondary schools and colleges in 2001, and had over 5000 technicians responding, making it the largest survey of its...

Survival Rivals are hands-on experiments inspired by Darwin and produced by the Wellcome Trust.

The three resources in the series are:
* I'm a Worm, Get Me Out of Here (exploring natural selection)
* Brine Date (looking at sexual selection)
* The X-Bacteria (investigating antibiotic...

A terrifying virus has been spreading around the world. In a matter of weeks, it has killed 90% of the world’s population. Even worse, the victims don’t stay dead. Now, these zombies are roaming the streets looking for their next meal: your brains! Your challenge is to stay alive until scientists find a cure. Be...

For the last few billion years an asteroid has been journeying through the cold expanses of space, on course to hit planet Earth! As it collides with the Earth, it lights up the skies and smashes the ground. Luckily for you, scientists saw it coming and you were evacuated to an underground bunker. Your challenge...

You’re in the middle of a once-in-a-lifetime sailing trip around the world. As you pass the tropics, you plough into a pile of floating debris. A large log smashes into your hull and your yacht quickly sinks. Luckily for you, you’re a great swimmer, and you can see a small island on the horizon. Unluckily for you,...

When the James Webb Space Telescope is deployed it will have one side which continually faces the Sun and is warmed by the Sun, and one side which does not face the sun. The cold side of JWST houses scientific instruments which work better if they are at a low temperature, so a sunshield is used to keep the...
