This resource from the Institute of Physics, describes how electrocardiagrams (ECGs) record the activity of the heart through electrodes placed on a patient's skin. The teacher's notes contain an introduction to ECGs and lesson notes for the associated PowerPoint file. A mark scheme for the worksheet is also...

Following a presentation on the electromagnetic spectrum, students are asked to produce a presentation which must include the following:

*How frequency is involved in categorising different waves.

• Identify types of electromagnetic radiation that can be naturally occurring.
• Describe a range of sources of harmful electromagnetic...

This video and PowerPoint describe how to explain and demonstrate the photoelectric effect. 

More detailed guidance on how to use these teaching resources can be found in the ...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This presentation uses the fact that 1729 is the smallest number that can be expressed as two cubes in two different ways to introduce the topic of Elliptic curves, which are used more and more in the field of number theory...

This Powerpoint presentation from the May 2016 Research Conference looks at the issues facing teachers in using evaluation in their CPD activities and illustrates how to do this more effectively.

This collection of resources provides classroom presentations and activities to engage students in different types of energy generation. Content covered includes renewable and non renewable energy types, environmental impact and provides examples of different types of power stations around the world.

This resource explores UK energy sources. Students will learn that the UK currently uses a mixture of non-renewable and renewable energy resources for its energy supply but to mitigate climate change, more renewables must be used. Students will be able to give examples of why, where and how, wind, solar,...

This resource from the Geological Society explores how energy resources such as oil, gas, coal, wood, wind, sunlight and geothermal energy are all natural resources that can be used to produce heat and electricity.

Pupils learn that energy sources can be either renewable or non-renewable. Non-renewable...

This resource asks pupils to apply their knowledge of energy stores and transfers to different contexts to identify the energy stores and transfers taking place. The first task checks pupils' knowledge about energy stores and transfer.  Pupils are then asked to identify the energy stores from various images and the...

An editable slide-deck for teachers, advisers and STEM Ambassadors to inform and inspire 14 to 19 year olds about a careers in engineering. 

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), focuses on understanding the concept of modular design and the casting process. The resource is designed to allow students to:

• describe the...

Engineering for families is a 6-week structured course for children aged 7 - 11 and their families. It is designed to be used in an afterschool club led by teachers or other adults. Each week focuses on a career within a different discipline of engineering, with a final engineering challenge week. 

In this problem students are given two circles with tangents that meet at a point P. The distance along the tangents from the circles to the point P are equal in length. The challenge is to describe the relationship between the x and y coordinates of the point P, given the coordinates of the centre of the circles...
