This resource focusses on developing the understanding of ratio, fractions and scaling, by scaling up ingredients in a recipe. It could also be linked to learning in food technology, to demonstrate a practical application of maths. In this activity learners will scale up a cookie recipe that makes six cookies to a...

In this STEM activity, pupils will use a torch and a CD to create rainbow reflection patterns on a piece of paper. Pupils will develop their understanding of how light reflects off objects, the colours that make up white light and how these are separated when shone onto a CD. This activity could be used as a...

As human population increases our appetite for meat is growing but very soon demand will outstrip supply. Farming large animals puts a strain on our natural resources and creates polluting waste. Scientists are proposing eating insects to help solve this problem. In this activity students are asked to plan a menu...

Ebola can spread quickly with devastating consequences. To help fight it scientists are developing drugs and vaccines. In this activity students are asked if they would trial a new Ebola vaccine. They gather information from different sources, weigh up risks and benefits and apply what they know about genes to...

In this STEM activity, pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of 3D shapes. Pupils will have the opportunity to cut out 2D nets for a cube, cylinder and octahedron and fold them into their corresponding 3D shapes. From these models they will count the number of edges, vertices and faces on each shape...

The materials in this resource are from the Secondary National Strategy ‘Progressing to Level 6 and beyond in science’ project. They were intended for science teachers who are focusing on helping their students in developing skills in effective group talk.

These Key Stage Three National Strategy training materials from the Department for Education are designed to run a session with science teachers to help them develop structured three-part lessons by using engaging starters, main and plenary activities.

These Key Stage Three training materials from the Department for Education are designed to run a session with science teachers to help them design and develop effective science lessons that might involve writing, practical and group work.

A number of images from Practical Action showing the effects of climate change and climate change adaptation. The images can be freely used by students and/or incorporated into teaching resources by teachers. The following text describes each of the photographs: *Drought in Kenya means there is little water left...

In this resource linked to COP27 in Egypt, maths students apply pythagoras’ theorem to solving Egypt’s road building conundrum. The resource explores efficient road designs and the climate impacts of car travel then uses the context of reducing travel time for the most people, reducing the length of new roads and...

Inspired by the theme of the Victorians, this activity supports the teaching of design and technology in context by looking at the key events that defined the Victorian era, and how they have influenced engineering developments and society today.

In this classroom activity learners will learn about the...

• Describe the effects of an electric shock on a person.

• Explain why there are no standard mains sockets in a bathroom....

The Frederick Bremer School developed this ‘off timetable’ STEAM activity with the help of a STEM Ambassador with interest and experience in this field of electronics as applied to music and dance performance. The activity incorporated electronics, control (switching), textiles, coloured and reflective fluorescent/...
