This excel file contains a series of sheets which give practice in rearranging formulae and substituting values. Clicking on the subject of the formula reveals the rearranged form. The answers to the calculations are also available.

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about formulae, equations and amount of substanceat A level. Curriculum links include formulae, equations, amount of substance, mole, yield, atom economy, percentage composition, titration, and calculations.

This unit looks at 'fracking', the extraction of shale gas by hydraulic fracturing, as an application of science and considers who has access to, and influence over, decision-making processes which determine what risks are acceptable, and who they...

This Catalyst article looks at hydraulic fracking, the process of breaking up rocks deep underground using high-pressure water mixed with sand and chemicals. The process has been used for decades in the energy industry to free oil and gas trapped in rock formations. However, questions have been raised over the...

This resource includes a variety of activities which can be used to give students practice in converting between fractions, decimals and percentages.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This Framework was produced in 2008 to provide practical suggestions and advice on meeting the National Curriculum requirements for science for students aged 11-16, following on from the 2002 Key Stage Three National Strategy Framework.

These learning objectives were produced to help teachers plan for progression for students aged 11-16, as part of the National Strategies Framework for secondary science.

This excel resource contains a series of interactive sheets exploring frequency tables and quartiles.

The first sheet calculates the mean from a frequency table. The second calculates an estimate for the mean from a...

This simple investigation can be linked to standing waves and builds on work done at GCSE.  In it students look at sending a current through a wire, suspended in a magnet which causes it to oscillate.  From this they can work out the frequency of the mains supply.  They can alter wire length and tension to see if...

In this A-level investigation students can calculate the wavelength of sodium light using a Fresnel Bi-prism. A micrometre eyepiece is required for this but most of the equipment is readily available, and the worksheet provides simple guidance on how to measure this.

This simulation can be used to demonstrate how friction causes a material to heat up and melt. It shows how when two objects are rubbed together they heat up. When one reaches the melting temperature, particles break free as the material melts away. Sample learning objectives include: *Describe a model for friction...

This Catalyst article investigates the research into artificial photosynthetic systems.

With the world’s population ever-expanding, energy demand is expected to double by 2050 and triple by 2100. In only 200 years, mankind has squandered what nature has taken hundreds of millions of years to lay down as...
