A hyperbola is given with a parabola ax²  touching each branch of the hyperbola at single points. The task is to determine the value of a.

A formal proof of the general situation involves substituting the equation of the parabola into the equation of the hyperbola. The...

The activities in this workbook cover the ideas of statistical significance, type I and type II errors and the power of a test. The relationship between power and significance in the context of tests of means is considered and the final spreadsheet shows how to conduct a chi-squared test of association in a...

This resource is based around the chemical composition of the human body and the origin of elements in the universe. Students can input a mass in the spreadsheet to see what proportion of their mass is from elements created in the Big Bang, in stars and in supernovae. Graphs are also shown for the relative...

This resource aimed at Key Stage Two contains a set of data showing ice cream consumption per year in different countries. Children are asked to create a bar chart to represent the data and then to answer a set of questions to interpret the given data.
This resource is part of the ASE SYCD: Science Year...

In this resource, students attempt to apply their understanding of heat transfer (convection, conduction and radiation) to the novel case of the Beagle 2 Lander.

Students are set the challenge of creating the best...

Mobile app development is an engaging way for students to learn programming and interface design as many do, indeed, "love their smartphone".

This complete learning package teachers the origins and development of the smartphone, helping them to appreciate the amount of technology packed into their pocket. It...

These resources allow students to explore natural selection using different coloured baits (spaghetti ‘worms’) that are selected and eaten by birds. Uneaten ‘worms’ are counted after predation and the ‘worm’ population is replenished in proportion to those colours which remain. After several cycles of predation and...

This set of Cre8ate maths activities requires students to think about place value, divisibility and remainders. It also requires logical thinking. Computer codes with check digits are widely used in the retail and banking sector. This activity focuses on one long-established code – the International Standard Book...

In this task, students are planning to sell ice creams at their sports day. Students are told how much a tub of ice cream costs, how much a cone costs and how much they are to sell each ice cream for.
