A person is shown exercising using weights whilst lying on a bench. As the weight is lifted the arms of the person curl around, so that the distance from the bench is not linear with time. As the exercise progresses it takes longer to do each bench press. Finally the weights are placed back on the resting stand....
A person is shown spinning around on a playground ‘carousel’ before getting off and walking away. The task is to graph the distance of the person from the camera against time. The resulting graph has periodicity and non-linear elements. This story can be used as a complement to ‘Distance from centre of carousel’...
A player is shown on a baseball pitch. They run around the bases before returning to the home plate. The speed varies between the different bases. The task is to draw a graph of the player’s distance from the home plate against time. The graph shows linear piecewise sections.
Distance from the home...
This activity provides a mathematical problem that is solved in a simple way. It relates to the way algorithms are used in search engines and links to problem solving in maths. The context is that of Santa trying to find his socks in one of 1024 boxes, which a clever elf solves for him. Children can then go on to...
This video asks people if they believe cell phones can cause cancer. It then considers the available evidence logically, that is types of radiation emitted by a cell phone (non-ionising) and the power rating to conclude that the radiation should not be harmful. However, recent evidence suggests that heat-shock...
This resource provides a set of videos and a practical investigation aimed at supporting working scientifically in the classroom and relating science to real world experiences. In the first video Professor Brian Cox joins a teacher to find out how to set up and run an investigation to find out if plants need soil...
Video from the Big Picture issue on Fat, showing an experiment to discover if we favour fatty foods.
This video demonstrates how applying pressure to ice melts it, yet on removal of the pressure the ice re-freezes. This is called regelation.
