This is a collection of educational research on enquiry based learning.

The Researching Effective CPD in Mathematics Education (RECME) project was set up under the umbrella of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) in England, who provide these resources.

The project's aim was to provide advice, guidance and recommendations to be used by NCETM...

This A2 level Applied Science resource guides students to research, select and use bioassay techniques to investigate the action and potency of common medicines. There are suggested methods to select from and adapt, questions to research and guidance on risk assessment that needs to take place. 

This A2 level Applied Science resource guides students to research, select and use quantitative chemical analysis techniques to assay the active ingredient of common medicines. There are suggested methods to select from, questions and guided steps for calculations involved. The resource also contains student sheets...

This Catalyst article looks at cuttlefish which have a remarkable ability to change their appearance at high speed. But how do they do this?

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2016, Volume 26, Issue 4.

This engineering resource, produced by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can production outcome data from a manufacturing process be analysed to optimise the process? Students consider the outputs of resistors to see the outcomes form a normal...

This video explains how horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components of a vector (resultant) can be obtained by constructing a right-angled triangle and using trigonometry.  Two examples are given.

1. A plane flying N-E (60⁰ from north) at 50m/s.

The horizontal component = 50cos30⁰

The vertical...

STEM Clubs Quality Mark

STEM Clubs are a vital part of school life and regular club meetings bring great benefits to your school. If you have a thriving STEM Club, you may want to showcase the amazing provision that you have put in place for your students. The...

This School Science Review article looks at a selection of resources currently available for use in the teaching of astronomy in UK schools. It is by no means an exhaustive list but it highlights a variety of free resources that can be used in the classroom to help engage students of all ages with astronomy and...

This collection of resources from the Royal Meteorological Society and Royal Geographical Society with IBG uses statements and figures from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)...

These two reports were published by SCORE (Science Community Representing Education), in response to two commissioned reports - Under the Microscope: the...

This practical activity, from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), investigates the process of respiration. Suggestions are given for looking at different fruits or vegetables and measuring the respiratory rate during the ripening process.

This animation allows students to view the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. In particular, it tackles the common misconception among students that respiration in plants does not take place at the same time as photosynthesis...

There are a total of five turbine engines on the Gravity Jet Suit.  This resources uses the suit to look at resolving forces and free body diagrams.

Published in 2017 by the National Audit Offcie, this report examines whether the Department for Education is (was) supporting the schools sector effectively to retain and develop the teaching workforce.
