In this resource, students investigate how glaciers respond to climate change by building a model of a glacier and observing how fast it melts. The data is analysed further using the Glacier vulnerability matrix which ranks the glaciers risk of melting due to its area, thickness, altitude and latitude. This...

The glacier experiment sequence from the previous two lessons is repeated here, accompanied by the glacier vulnerability score chart. Two sets of student assessment tasks are given for levels three to seven. One of these allows teachers to print and distribute the questions most suitable to their class or to...

In this resource students are asked to measure the distances between the seamounts and reefs on a map, convert their readings into kilometres, and plot the data on a graph to calculate the speed of the Australian plate.

The materials contain a detailed presentation, student worksheets and solutions.

The videos in this collection from Teachers TV are aimed at secondary school science practitioners. They provide great lesson ideas for a range of topics, including:

* using demonstrations in biology, chemistry and physics
* dataloggers and ICT to help students understand processes
* forces,...

The videos in this collection from teachers TV provide ideas for primary science learning activities.

Videos in this section cover a wide range of topics, including:
* investigation skills using a forensic crime scene scenario
* materials
* forces and movement
* electricity and...

This contains detailed notes and lesson ideas on how one teacher used the space images and the Spooky...

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this series of activities investigates heat transfer and the thermal insulation properties of sleeping bags. In the investigation, students: * Consider the requirements for different categories of sleeping bags. * Measure the volume of air trapped in a...

This resource provided by Siemens contains three lessons which link to various aspects of energy production and electricity. The lessons are:

• The magic of making electricity - Pupils find out how electricity can be produced and used. They look at examples of hand crank technology and...

After investigating how photovoltaic cells are used and then making a series of electronic circuits of increasing complexity, students investigate some potential modifications to the circuits they have designed and made in the ‘Let there be light 2' activity.

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), involves investigating how photovoltaic cells are used and then using this technology to make a series of electronic circuits of increasing complexity. This could form the basis of a design and...

In this activity from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), students investigate the photovoltaic effect by designing and making a solar power night-light circuit. This could form the basis of a design and make assignment project in design and technology...

Scientists at the University of Oxford often use mathematical modelling as a key part of their research.  Modelling how information travels through social media sites is a part of understanding ways to analyse and potentially reduce the spread of misinformation.

This resource contains a starter activity in which Key Stage Four which explores data analysis and what conclusions can and cannot be drawn from scatter graphs. This can be used to discuss correlation, trends, continuous and discontinuous data, extrapolation and lines of best fit. 

Developed by the Centre for Comparative and Clinical Anatomy, University of Bristol, Lets Dissect is based upon the key points from GCSE specifications of the major exam boards. These interactive resources are a great accompaniment or alternative to dissection and show the major structures of the heart, the kidney...
