Graphing Lines gives the opportunity for students to explore the parameters of a linear equation; how modifying the graph affects the equation and how modifying the equation affects the graph. Students can draw reference lines y=x and y=-x to help with their deliberations. Students may change the point of...

The ‘Graphing Stories’ collection is a collaborative project run by Dan Mayer and the ‘BuzzMath’ team. Each story comprises a video that shows a practical situation where a measure, such as height or weight, varies with time. The situation is then replayed at a slower rate to help enable the viewer to assess more...

We rely on electric circuits every day, in our homes, schools and places of work, as well as in our portable gadgets and kitchens. In this activity, a circuit drawn by a pencil conducts electricity to light an LED.

You’ll need to get hold of an LED, some wires and crocodile clips – these are all available...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners.

In this resource, sessions look at:

• Introducing graphs of linear equations (using rich collaborative tasks)
• Finding the equation of a tangent to a curve using...

This Instant Maths Ideas resource contains three files: Co-ordinates and Straight-line Graphs contains ten instant maths ideas including drawing pictures using coordinates, finding equations of straight lines, exploring the gradient of parallel lines, investigating the gradients of perpendicular lines, open-ended...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 7. This resource covers the drawing of graphs and hence the formation of cartesian axes and plotting points including: scatter graphs, plotting points using coordinates, negative numbers on...

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of graphs, from simple mappings to identifying quadratic graphs.

Graphs pack one contains fifteen work cards with a wide variety of activities covering...

This Durham Maths Mystery is designed to extend high achieving GCSE students and for use with students studying mathematics post-16.

Task 1A: students are presented with a blank three by three grid and twenty fact cards. Students have to use the clues on the fact cards to help them sketch...

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.

Graphs, equations and inequalities covers: linear inequalities on a number line, solving linear inequalities, a recap of the equation of a straight line, graphs of quadratic...

This report summarises the activities undertaken in Froglife’s Grass Roots, Green Shoots Project which ran from July 2006-December 2007. The project involved environmental education sessions with a strong social inclusion element. It aimed to help young people improve their local environment, and develop their self...

This video begins by introducing the three forms of potential energy (gravitational, electric and elastic). The formula Ep=mgh is derived by applying Newton’s second law (F=mg) and work done (w=Fs).  

This Catalyst article explores gravitational waves which have been observed for the first time, a century after they were first predicted by Albert Einstein.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2016, Volume 26, Issue 4.

Resources all about the topic of gravity.

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe how gravity acts on objects near to the Earth

• Describe how gravity acts towards the centre of the Earth (or other astronomical body)

• ...

Within this lesson, students will learn about the classical force of gravity, put forward by Newton. They will learn the difference between mass and weight, the equation that relates the two and perform an investigation into the strength of gravity on Earth. Students will then use a 3D model of space to better...
