Containing two linked activities, these resources from the CS4FN team introduce graphs to represent inter-related data and algorithms to negotiate them.

Suitable for non-programmers being introduced to algorithms, the two challenges – the Knights Tour and the Tour Guide – are similar. Both use graphs as...

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.

Transformations covers: a review of the names and properties of common 2D shapes, translating by a vector, enlargements, reflections, rotations and combining transformations....

The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Trees was first published in 1981 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about trees. It describes their parts and how their seeds are formed and dispersed. It considers the different...

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

Trigonometry covers: Pythagoras' theorem, trigonometric functions; an introduction to sine, cosine and tangent; calculating the length of sides of triangles and calculating the...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit offered an introduction to quantum theory presented in a single volume for teachers and students. The main work was theoretical. Many of the arguments were presented as a chain of questions.

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was designed as an introduction to the course. The authors wanted to capture the students' imagination right from the beginning, and so they chose for the first Unit a relatively complex topic of considerable practical importance but...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit explored the topic of electricity and matter. It sought to develop basic ideas about current, potential difference, and charge, and to show some of the electrical properties of materials. These ideas were then used to understand...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics unit was concerned with the ideas of field and potential, developed for the electric and the gravitational fields. A main aim was to suggest that ideas about field and potential are rather general and so very useful. Their generality and...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit covered topic of about waves and oscillations. In the form and order suggested, it was intended to suit students who have been through the work on waves in the  Nuffield O-level Physics course, or equivalent work in other courses....

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit provides some of the key ideas for one of the major theme of the course which is the attempt to explain large-scale things in terms of small-scale things. The Unit draws together ideas about electric charge and fields from Unit 3 into...

The authors of Nuffield Advanced Physics decided to include electronics in the course for two reasons.
1. It could be useful in the future. Students could expect to find themselves using electronic devices in many courses of further education, and in a very wide...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was designed to be directly about engineering
problems and their solution. The authors pointed out that ‘reluctance’, like feedback in Unit 6, is a concept of more use to an engineer than to a physicist. The authors said that...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was about light as a wave motion. It represented the culmination of one line of thought in the course as a whole, for in it, earlier work on waves, on electric fields, and on magnetic fields came together in a (simplified) description...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit was presented as a single volume for teachers and students. The aim was to make the ideas behind the Second Law of Thermodynamics intelligible to students at school. The approach was through the statistics of molecular chaos, because...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Units of measure covers: estimating using metric units of length, mass and capacity; converting between metric units, estimating using imperial units of length, mass and capacity...
