This full program code demonstrates how arguments can be passed to Python programs at the command line. The program dynamically generates graphics, and the user can change parameters for the graphics using command line arguments. Suggestions for additional challenges are also included.

This unit of work enables students to understand the risks, costs and potential benefits in the commercial exploration of space; and why decisions about scientific and engineering solutions need to take account of expert opinions from a broad range of disciplines.  Initially students work...

This teaching guide provides a range of ideas and resources for teaching about communicable disease and the immune system at A level. Curriculum links include pathogen, bacteria, virus, fungus, protoctista, transmission, immunity, antibodies, autoimmune diseases, vaccination and antibiotics.

Although...

To understand how everyday devices like mobile phones, routers and satellites work, we need to understand what radio waves are and how we can transmit information with them. Radio communication is one of the key elements in our CanSat. All the data needed for our scientific experiment will be sent from the CanSat...

These materials support teachers, careers and personal advisers who are working together to broaden knowledge of STEM opportunities amongst students and parents. Resources include posters and support materials for practitioners. Teachers may also find the following eLibrary collections useful:

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to investigate the effect of competitive and non-competitive inhibitors on the enzyme beta-galactosidase.

The chemical ONPG (o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside) is degraded by the enzyme beta-galactosidase. The product is...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Algebra. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level.

The resource includes matching cards to practise completing the square and helps relate the competed square form to the graph of the function.

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of complex numbers, often used in the field of engineering. They include the definition of a complex number and their associated arithmetic, the Argand diagram and polar form of a complex number, as well as the exponential form.

Comprehensive notes, with...
