This sub-collection of resources from the Virtual Text Book collection contains six resources designed for use on an interactive whiteboard to aid the teaching and learning of a variety of topics in ‘Calculus'. Each resource is an interactive Excel worksheet to encourage teacher-student interaction. The topics...

Mathcentre provide this calculus refresher resource which has been designed to enable students to prepare for their university mathematics programme. There is a comprehensive review of derivatives, the product, quotient and chain rules, differentiation of functions, integration by parts and substitution, as well as...

This excel program contains two interactive spreadsheets designed to explore the gradient functions of cubic and quadratic functions.

The first activity enables students to alter the coefficients in the function ax2+...

Cambridge Ideas is an on-going series of short documentaries presenting cutting edge research at Cambridge University together with comment and opinion on matters of global significance. The videos in this collection include:

This poster shows how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities. It features five electronics and engineering specialists working in the telecommunications industry. They develop a range of technology such as Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.

This Science Busking Demo Pack from the British Science Association describes 30 quick demonstrations for use at public events or science fairs.

This resource has been put together by science made simple and is intended for use by 16+ year olds, though if deemed suitable they can be adapted for use by under...

This Catalyst article looks at hearing loss, which is usually associated with the elderly, straining to hear the TV while turning up their hearing aid. As a teenager losing the ability to hear correctly seems decades away but hearing loss is increasingly becoming a problem for young adults and teenagers. The...

A Catalyst article investigating if mobile phones produce harmful radiation. The short article compares the view points of a concerned parent, protester, scientist, official report and a complacent citizen.

This video uses an anechoic chamber to investigate whether an echoless environment can significantly change our perceptions.

According to a working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, published in 2016,  removing low-performing...

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

In the ‘Can they...

This video demonstrates how the eye tracks motion in such a way that determining whether an object is accelerating is very difficult. So, we need another way to measure motion.

This video demonstrates how a theory cannot be proved.  Theories at best allow observations to be explained at that time, but there may be other explanations still to be discovered. The scientific method is rigorous in attempting to disprove a theory. Only when we fail to disprove our theories do we say we have...

Produced by the Maths Magic project, Can’t Stand Up? provides teacher inspiration for introducing the topic of forces in an A-level mathematics or physics lesson. The plan describes two simple experiments asking a student to stand against a wall and then attempt to perform seemingly simple tasks. The tasks are...
