Aimed at Key Stage Two, this resource looks at the function of the heart, how exercise affects heart rate, and the rate of recovery after exercise. Linked to PE and the topic animals including humans, it also aims to develop ...

This resource uses the context of football to introduce a heart rate investigation. Students take part in suggested exercises and measure their heart rate and recovery time.  They need to plot of graph of their heart rate for different activities, and are encouraged to decide the axis and scale of the graph for...

Make your heart dissection lesson more engaging with this resource.  These materials help students to understand more about how the heart works and also includes a step-by-step guide to dissecting a heart obtained from a butcher.

In the first part of the resource, various aspects of cardiac biology are...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Data Handling. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In this resource students are shown how to measure their pulse rate. They then investigate the effect of other things...

This field study provides the opportunity for students to use ecological survey techniques and conduct investigations to understand how the environmental (abiotic) conditions in a habitat can affect the presence and distribution of organisms. The resource provides a practical investigation of the relationship...

The main aim of this resource is for students to understand some of the conflicts surrounding land use in the UK – particularly the conflicts between economic incentives, society, and environmental conservation. The resource also provides a practical introduction to the complexities of managing habitats, with a...

The main aim of this resource is for students to understand the impact that roads can have on heathland habitats, both in terms of anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and habitat fragmentation.

The resource provides practical, scientific investigations without the need to organise a field trip. The...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Make qualitative predictions about the resulting temperature when hot and cold water are mixed

• Make quantitative predictions about the resulting temperature when hot...

In this activity, students consider the heating effects of infrared energy, and how this is used in a range of products. They design a simple experiment to measure the heating effect of toasters, thermal heaters, infrared mouse, kettles (with heating elements) and...

The scoring system used for the heptathlon event is the focus of this resource, from the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. Students are provided with athlete's individual results from the seven events that make up the heptathlon. They then apply relevant formulae to the data and produce tables, or...

In this Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, using the subject of global warming, students look at and analyse data to answer the question ‘Is there global warming in the world?’.

In the module students are expected to analyse the data through drawing charts and diagrams and then interpreting the...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recall that offspring inherit characteristics from each of their parents.

• Recognise that an organism’s characteristics are affected by genetic information in cells and...

This puzzle is about factors and common factors. The numbers from 1 to 9 are to be placed on a grid of 9 hexagons so that the numbers on any straight line are a multiple of 3. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3.

• ...

This puzzle is about factors and common factors. There are three puzzles to solve using a grid of 9 hexagons. The first two puzzles consider multiples. The final puzzle considers common factors and requires the numbers from 1 to 9 to be placed onto the grid so that no two adjacent numbers share a common factor...
