Charles is investigating whether there is life on other planets.  He studies life in extreme environments, such as in volcanoes or on the International Space Station.  He studied biochemistry at university and went on to study astrobiology and the possibility of life on other planets. 

There are two cuts of...

Born in London to parents who emigrated from Ghana, Charlotte Armah's scientific work may have very obvious benefits for us all. She leads experiments involving human volunteers to learn whether eating particular foods, especially broccoli, can protect us from diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer....

This collection of resources from the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) are designed for use by STEM Ambassadors and/or teachers to ...

Check up 1 the first of the guides from Nuffield is complementary to Mathematics Begins to which there are numerous references, it is strongly recommended that this guide is not used independently.

In this activity, students look at cheek cells under a microscope to identify basic cell structures.  It allows students to practice their microscope skills, making a slide, staining a sample and making observations.

Let battle commence! An interactive activity from the Association for Science Education (ASE), where students use video clips of displacement reactions together with animations to investigate the Reactivity Series for metals.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called Metals. This X unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course. The teachers’ guide included 13 worksheets to...

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

• Recognise that rainwater is naturally acidic.
• Recognise that rain can cause a weathering effect by chemically reacting with rock.
• Recognise that types of rock will weather...

This resource asks pupils to apply their knowledge of physical and chemical changes to the context of a lorry travelling in cold conditions. The first task checks pupils' knowledge about physical and chemical change and gets them to organise their thoughts using a Frayer-model. Pupils are then asked to identify...

Chemical equilibrium acids and bases is one of the titles in the series of ASE Lab Books that were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title covered one or two topics and brought together the best of the teaching...

Students recreate the reaction of a volcano using baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (dilute acetic acid).

The chemical garden is a well‐established experiment from the chemistry of salts, solubility, diffusion, and solutions. The nice thing is that if metal salts are put in sodium water glass solution, it can lead to an effect reminiscent of plants growing. This growing process can be observed and analysed. In the end...

A balance is set up with two pieces of iron wool. One piece is set alight: it appears to be getting smaller but, mysteriously, the balance tips the other way.

Curriculum links include chemical...
