The workshop takes the form of a PowerPoint presentation that explains why tides exist, why there are two tides each day and covers related topics such as spring/neap tides and...

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 ...

This resource from the Shropshire Centre for Mathematical Education contains many ideas that will hopefully indicate that work on tiling problems can be a central part of mathematical problem solving, particularly within the study of shape and space.

Cre8ate maths provides these activities which investigate the tessellation of regular polygons and its application in construction. Initially students identify which regular polygons tessellate, providing the opportunity to discuss the interior angles of polygons and...

A selection of resources where you can find out more about British Astronaut Tim Peake and his mission to space. 

This video is a message to ESERO-UK from European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake. He talks about studying STEM subjects and how he became an astronaut. The video includes images of a launch, Tim engaging in various astronaut training exercises and the International Space Station, where Tim will be for six months...

In this interview, Tim Peake discusses the Principia mission. Named after Isaac Newton’s text Naturalis Principia Mathematica, ESA’s Principia mission will be the eighth long-duration mission to the International Space Station.

British astronaut Tim Peake will be launched from Baikonur in Kazakhstan onboard...

A clock with a seconds hand is shown as it advances for 15 seconds. The challenge is to ‘graph the story’. This video emphasises the importance of scales. In this introductory video the answer is then displayed showing a linear relationship.

Time video

The time activities, from Skills Workshop, are designed to support teachers and students studying numeracy and functional skills.

Time facts quiz requires students to answers questions such as how many seconds there are in a minute and how many days there are in a leap year.

In this Science upd8 activity, students evaluate evidence from a recently discovered mummy to work out how it lived and how it died. Through so doing, they learn about the function of its preserved tissues and organs.

This Double Crossed resource uses the context of the excavation of an Egyptian tomb to learn about the main organs in the human body. The students evaluate evidence from a recently discovered mummy to draw conclusions about the person’s life and the cause of death.

A cut and stick activity is used to...
