In this resource designed by the IET, pupils use their knowledge of fractions and percentages to describe football squads and select a team. Can someone else work out which team they have selected from the fractions and percentages they have used to describe it?

The purpose of the activity is to deepen...

These learning objectives were produced to help teachers plan for progression for students aged 11-16, as part of the National Strategies Framework for secondary science.

Components:...

This Framework was produced in 2002 by the Key Stage Three National Strategy to provide advice on meeting the National Curriculum requirements for science, and to be used alongside the exemplar publication, Science: a scheme of work for Key Stage Three (for students...

This Concept Cartoon on energy was produced by Millgate House Education and Practical Action. This cartoon help students explore issues around energy, in particular renewable energy, and to consider the question ' is energy really ever free?'.

Concept Cartoons are quick, simple and effective. They are...

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

• Describe the cause of friction between two objects.

• Explain how friction, generated by the interaction between two objects, can stop them from moving...

This resource uses pictures for pupils to identify high and low friction forces and classify them into 'useful' and 'not useful' using a sorting grid.  This activity is designed to take place in groups to improve the speaking and listening skills of the learners. This can then be extended by asking pupils to write...

These resources from the National Strategies were produced to support departmental meetings in identifying and developing approaches to tackle students’ misconceptions in mathematics.

Four topics are included in the package:

A. Fractions and decimals;

B. Multiplication and division;

C....

A guide to 12 different engineering disciplines showing different pathways into engineering, to support students with their career decision-making.

Engineering is a diverse, wide-reaching sector and it can be hard to decide which of the many areas to pursue. In this booklet you will find an overview of...

This activity introduces the idea of remote observation by asking children to match photographs such as lakes, mountains and cities taken from the ground with early astronaut photographs. Children then compare the images from the ground with the astronaut picture of the same place. This activity is also suitable...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this activity engages students to consider the responsible use of chemicals and an analysis of the impact of a product through all the stages in its life. In this context, students attempt an analysis for different de-icers that might be used on...

Using Christmas as an opportunity to get practical, this STEM activity from the IET enables pupils to explore different states of matter and moving molecules whilst trying to create frozen bubbles. The resource includes full lesson guidance...

In this activity students investigate the use of additives, such as citric acid and baking powder, in chilled drinks to inhibit microbial growth by increasing or decreasing the pH.

Fruit juice companies use a variety of different treatments and enzymes to maximise their yield. In this experiment students will investigate the effectiveness of these different enzymes.

The enzymes used are designed...
