The video clips in this collection are a collaboration between Teachers TV, the Institute of Physics and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). Each features a current scientist explaining an aspect of their field of expertise. The topics covered include: * Models of the Solar System * Saturn and the...

These short video clips, from the Teaching Astronomy and Space DVD produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Teachers TV, show simple, accessible and effective demonstrations that can be carried out with students. The demonstrations do not require specialised equipment and help students to understand topics...

Teaching Astronomy and Space was a DVD produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Teachers TV, with funding by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). Its purpose was to support the teaching of astronomy, cosmology and space to students aged 11 to 16....

This School Science Review article attempts to summarise the good, bad and (occasionally) ugly aspects of teaching astronomy in UK schools. It covers the most common problems reported by teachers when asked about covering the astronomy/space topics in school. Particular focus is given to the GCSE Astronomy...

Joan Solomon wrote this book about science teaching at a time when, in her words, the whole profession was buzzing with new projects at almost every level and when the design of syllabuses had already passed out of the hands of the large project committees to small groups or individual schools. The book was...

This book was a product of the Science, Ethics and Education project. It contains materials which can be used to develop an awareness of ethical analysis and the distinction between providing and analysing evidence.

These resources were developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in collaboration with five universities involved in initial teacher education, as part of a Key Stage 3 National Strategy project. Originally produced as a CD-ROM, the materials aimed to provide suggestions and activities for teaching about...

The Institute of Physics's Medical Physics Group has produced a set of teaching materials which can be used to teach medical physics at GCSE/Standard level in schools. Much of the material is appropriate to use for A-level medical physics options. The Institute's Teaching Medical Physics resources, that include...

This document accompanies a set of resources designed to help teach quantum physics to post-16 students. There are three groups of experiments that make up the full suite:

• Double-slits and diffraction
