In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore flight in nature investigating biomimicry and flight technology. They consider what the forces of flight are and investigate forces with gliders and through using a wind tunnel.

If the original physical materials...

This Grand Challenge set of resources focuses on atmospheric pollution and the production of zero emission vehicles. The Level 1 materials are ideal for 11-14 year old students and includes ways to study lichens as a pollution indicator and measure particulate pollution. It then moves on to allow students to...

This lesson focuses on the properties of hydrogen and how it can be used as a fuel. It is appropriate to students aged 11 to 14 years.

Note: This is the first lesson of two. The second lesson builds on the knowledge gained by focusing on hydrogen fuel cells. It provides a way of contextualising classroom...

This lesson focuses on hydrogen fuel cells and how they work. It is appropriate to students aged 11 to 14 years.

Note: This is the second lesson of two.

The first lesson investigates the properties of hydrogen. This lesson builds on this knowledge by focusing on hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen...

Lesson 1 – The greenhouse effect and global warming

The aim of the lesson is to show the importance of the greenhouse effect via a number of activities. This is the first lesson in a sequence of three and is aimed at 14-16 year old students- it links well to upper secondary level exam...

Lesson 2 - Climate change

This second lesson of a sequence of three, focuses on climate change and global warming and the consequences of such, aimed at 14-16 year olds.

Activities include analysing the combustion of hydrocarbons and researching the effects of global warming and...

Lesson 3 - Hydrogen fuel cell

This lesson looks at how hydrogen fuel cells could potentially replace how transportation is powered.

Note: this is the third lesson of three. The first two lessons investigate the greenhouse effect and climate change. Here electrolysis and the use of a hydrogen-oxygen (...

GAIM Activities are open-ended tasks where achievements in using and applying mathematics can be assessed alongside content. In the practical problems students apply mathematics to real-life situations.

This resource from GAIM is a teacher assessment scheme, designed for use alongside any existing secondary mathematics programme of study, using open-ended tasks to encourage teaching and learning through practical problem solving and investigations.

The performance descriptions were produced by the regulatory authorities (QCA, Welsh Assembly Government and CEA (Northern Ireland)) in collaboration with the awarding bodies. These performance, produced in 2003, descriptors for mathematics at AS and A2 levels were written to indicate the level of attainment...

This set of subject criteria were produced by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in 2002 for Awarding Bodies to produce Mathematics specifications for first teaching in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2004 as a result of perceived problems with Mathematics specifications introduced in 2000....

GCE AS and A level subject content for the sciences which was introduced in 2015.

This set of subject criteria were produced by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for Awarding Bodies to produce subject specifications for use in 2006 GCSE Science, GCSE Additional Science, GCSE Applied Science (Double Award), GCSE Additional Applied Science, GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry, and GCSE Physics...
