A lesson from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)'s Seeing Science. Students investigate sulphur dioxide, its sources and its impact on the environment and on life. In the main activity, students create a animated presentation to tell the story of sulphur dioxide. Images and graphics for each act...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B units called ‘Communities and populations’ and ‘Charged particles’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included four...

The student books and teacher books in the Keys to Chemistry series were written by Graham Hill and published in the 1970s. The series explained chemistry for students aged 11–16. Each student book was accompanied by a book for teachers. Book 1 covered the chemistry in an introductory secondary school course. Book...

Keys to Chemistry Book 1 was the basis for an introductory course of chemistry in secondary school. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

Contents

1. What is chemistry?
2. Separating mixtures
3. Action of...

Keys to Chemistry Book 2 continued from Book 1 and took the study of chemistry in secondary school up to thw now discontinued 'O' level standard. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

This resource from Science upd8 revolves around the subject of kidney stones. Dehydration can cause excruciating pain from kidney stones. This activity stimulates discussion through a stunning image of a vicious-looking kidney stone. Students apply their knowledge of saturated solutions and crystallisation to find...

Kinetic theory: box triboelectric

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching kinetics A level. Curriculum links include catalysis, activation energy, activation enthalpy, enthalpy profile, enzymes, rates, Boltzmann, Arrhenius, rate equations, half-life and reaction mechanisms.

Although produced to support...

This interactive resource aimed at Key Stage Two intoduces the idea of separating materials. A chef has muddled his cooking ingredients and asks children to identify them by looking at their properties. Kitchen Chaos is an interactive computer programme that can be used by individual pupils, or small groups. It...

The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC) resources put curriculum science in real-life contexts. These materials focus on the use of mixtures in the kitchen and can be used to illustrate the properties of materials. Students examine a mince-pie as a 'mixture' and compare 'real' dairy cream with...

From the Science Museum, this resource contains a booklet of science activities using everyday ingredients, with notes for teachers. The booklet contains step-by-step instructions for science activities and experiments that are safe and easy to do in the classroom or at home. The individual activities allow...

Aimed at primary level, this resource provides a design and technology project which links to work on the properties of materials and aspects of environmental geography. Children design and make a model of a pond and discover more about the work of engineers throughout the process. In the first lesson the context...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these case studies describe work done by practitioners to disseminate knowledge. The academic study of KTT recognises that sharing learning is much more than simply moving information from ‘A’ to ‘B’; the successful transfer of knowledge and technology...
