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

• Describe the heating effect of current on a conducting wire.
• Predict changes to current through transmission lines using P = I x V. 
• Calculate power dissipated by a wire...

A transparent cube has a wire wrapped around it. The Top, Side and Front views are presented and then three cubes with wire are presented. The challenge is to determine which cube goes with the 2D views. A further challenge is to show the 2D representations for the remaining cubes. This resource is suitable for Key...

Produced by Practical Action, these materials contain ideas and support for students undertaking a CREST award. There are stimulus materials that help students look at an issue of sustainable development. These materials look at sustainable transport. In Nepal, the building of ropeways that allow people and farmers...

This animation allows students to view the key processes of plant transport in xylem and phloem. It is intended for both GCSE and A-level / post-16 biology teaching, and has sufficient detail and accuracy for both.

The cost of transportation is a key factor for many industries. This activity features a classic transportation problem giving the outputs of two suppliers, the demands of two consumers and the associated transportation costs. Students are asked to find the minimum transportation cost to meet the demand. Students...

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. The story-line for this unit is the whole world market for manufactured chemicals and the need to transport them safely to where they are needed. This shows the importance of systems which convey concise,...

* Factors...

In this activity aimed at primary level, children investigate the types of transport used to send food around the world. Linked to work in geography on food miles, sustainability and improving the environment, children investigate how food is transported and the impact that this can have on the environment. They go...

In this Triple Crossed activity, from the Centre for Science Education and supported by the Astra Zeneca Teaching Trust, students are given the task of writing the regulations for the transportation of organisms through an airport.

Considering a tiger, a jellyfish and a highland cow they are asked to...

London relies on continual innovation in transportation as its population and increases. New technologies are necessary to improve the travelling experience for Londoners in terms of speed, safety and reduced negative environmental impact. Students will design their London transportation of the future utilising...

The opposite corners of a trapezium are joined, creating four triangles within the trapezium. The areas of the triangles formed using the parallel sides as is given. The task is to calculate the...

This interactive excel program covers distance/time and velocity/time graphs.
