From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Seeing with light * Modelling light with ray diagrams * Reflection and refraction * Colours of two kinds Each topic is explored from the following perspectives: • The...

This STEM resource gives young learners the opportunity to explore how engineering and science work together in the healthcare service. Students are challenged to work collaboratively to develop their curiosity and creativity through a series of fun and engaging activities. 

This Nuffield Primary Science Teachers’ Guide for teaching the Light topic, to students aged 5-7, is divided into three chapters:

*Chapter 1: Planning - showing how to use the resources to plan a topic and, in the...

This Nuffield Primary Science Teachers’ Guide for teaching the Light topic, to students aged 7-12, is divided into five chapters: *Chapter 1: Introduction - covering useful strategies, the SPACE approach and links to the National Curriculum *Chapter 2: Planning - using the resources to plan topics with students'...

This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Electromagnetic waves show a huge range in terms of frequency and wavelength, but the same basic principles underlie wave behaviour:...

This teacher guidance from NASA describes colour and light activities that can be used with students from Key Stage Two to Four. Using lenses, prisms and mirrors students create telescopes, periscopes, microscopes and kaleidoscopes. Other activities include finding focal length and understanding reflection,...

Produced by the Hamilton Trust, these resources give details of six lessons on light and vision. This includes lesson plans, practical activities and all student materials. Students identify sources of light and revise facts such as light travels in straight lines and opaque objects form shadows. They understand...

This uses a motor, a sparkle and a marble to imitate a lighthouse. It can be made harder by incorporating LDRs.

This challenge provides a STEM activity day in which teams of children work together to design a way of getting lighthouse keepers back to the mainland from a lighthouse...

The best school environments give an impression of liveliness, with attractive spaces and a general feeling of pleasantness which it is difficult to define. There can be no doubt that in these cases the surroundings contribute to the happiness and well-being of teachers and pupils, and that lighting plays a...

In this Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, students are given opportunities to explore line painting through a practical approach, enabling them to appreciate the need to use algebraic reasoning in a visual setting.

The main themes are using and applying mathematics, constructing functions arising...

In this activity students literally form a line to demonstrate their understanding of  the environmental, economic and social impact of everyday products, then discuss and debate.  The activity helps them understand the impact of everyday products throughout their life cycle from manufacturing to disposal.

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Linear graphs and equations covers: coordinates, straight line graphs, solving linear equations, the gradient of parallel and perpendicular lines and solving simultaneous...

This short task asks students to identify linear, exponential growth, and exponential decay from tables of values. Students then sketch the graphs and identify the equation representing the linear relationship.

This is a short task from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration between UC...
