This lesson has been designed to extend the more able following initial work on the Haber-Bosch process. It begins by viewing the video, which outlines why we need the process, problems associated with it and ways in which researchers at the University of Oxford are...

This resource provides a lesson plan showing how to use drama to teach about the balanced symbol equation of the reaction that occurs in the Haber process and the bonds that are broken and made. The approach used in the lesson is based on education research which is summarised in a separate research summary...

This resource contains six activities that link to Living Things and their Habitats, these resources are designed for use with mixed age groups classes of Year 3 and 4. Activities include:

• undertaking a habitat survey in their local environment, exploring the impact of human activity on a range of...

A Catalyst article about hair, how it grows, how it can be sculpted into the latest fashionable shapes and can hold fast to all the colours of the rainbow. The article explores how hair grows and how its physical structure and chemical make-up are affected by hair products.

This article is from Catalyst:...

This Nuffield Working with Science unit encourages students to explore some of the problems people have with their hair, why they happen, and what can be done about them. The unit investigates how hair is kept clean and healthy, what substances are used in hairdressing...

This report of the Central Advisory Council for Education (England) resulted from research into the state of secondary education, focusing on students aged 13 to 16 who were of average or below-average ability. The report was known as the Newsom Report, named after Mr J H Newsom, chairman of the advisory council....

This is the classic investigation which demonstrates the idea of radioactive decay and half-life. There are lots of variations of this, but this one looks at using dice and removing those with a number 6. You then plot the graph to work out the ‘half-life’ of the blocks. This is a good investigation to make ...

In this video clip radioactive decay is modelled using the rolling of dice. The data are plotted on a graph and the half-life is determined. 

This collection of resources have been produced by Hamilton Trust to support science in mixed year group classes of Year 1 and 2. They are split into blocks of 6 sessions, each of which can be completed within a half-term. The materials are designed to encourage a practical approach to primary science and includes...
