A series of resources for primary and secondary-aged pupils based around the theme of King Charles III’s coronation aimed at developing their knowledge and skills in Design & Technology and Engineering.

Celestia is a spaceflight simulator that allows you to explore real astronomical data as you fly through space. The majority of content is related to our Solar System.

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, acts as a basic guide and explores the potential of the program with a sample Key Stage...

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

• Recall that most (but not all) cells are too small to be seen without a microscope.

• Apply the idea that cells have a three-dimensional shape.

• Link...

The resources in this collection cover teaching about cells for students aged 11-16.  They were produced to enrich a visit to the Intech Science Centre, but can be used independently of a visit.

Cell! Cell! Cell! is the story of the trillions of cells that form our bodies, from our beginnings as a...

The Cells sub-collection is made up of pedagogical guidance and classroom materials for use with students. All materials were published by the Key Stage Three Strategy and the Secondary Strategy between 2002 and 2003.

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

• Use a light microscope to make and record observations of cells from a range of tissues and organisms.

• Apply the idea that organisms are made up of one or more cells...

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

• Recall that all living organisms need energy for life processes, which is provided by cellular respiration.
• Distinguish between cellular respiration and breathing, including the...

This resource provides a lesson plan showing how to use conceptual change texts and concepts maps to teach cellular respiration.

The research summary provides a concise overview of the difficulties experienced when teaching this topic and the common misconceptions. Elements of this research are then utlised...

This Nuffield exploration encourages students to set and test their own hypotheses following the experience of collecting primary data from a local graveyard or cemetery.

The key processes in this exploration are :...

The CensusAtSchool UK project began in 2000 in conjunction with the National Statistics Office. The project, originally a one-off, was linked to the UK population census of 2001. It has now developed into a dynamic, ongoing and exciting initiative running in a number of countries.

It aims to:

•...

Experienced teachers, working for The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), have created over 100 teaching and learning resources and a suite of interactive and informative websites for use by teachers and students. They show how science works in real-life contexts and demonstrate how the chemical...

The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) has produced a large number of educational resources that help to illustrate the practical application of curriculum science and technology in real life contexts. With a strong emphasis on student investigations, the resources in this collection allow students...
