This resource consists of two interactive excel programs. The first deals with basic angle facts and recognition of types of triangle. Depending on how it is used, the second could require the use of Pythagoras' Theorem and trigonometry. The second excel file could also be used to provides problems relating to the...

This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around angles and trigonometry. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

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

Angles, bearings and maps covers: measuring angles and naming different angles, angles on parallel lines; vertically opposite angles, corresponding angles, alternate angles,...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of the module is to develop students’ understanding of angle by exploring rotation in practical situations and by using simple home-made equipment made from card.

These books, from the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB), aimed to encourage the use of more practical work on animal and human behaviour and to enable students to develop an understanding of some basic principles of animal behaviour, relevant to biology and psychology.

Although originally...

This scientific literacy activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, investigating extensions to the use of such technology in various contexts.

Produced by ARKive, in this activity students classify animals into broad groups (vertebrates and invertebrates, amphibian, bird, fish, mammal, reptile).

In the second section of the activity students are encouraged to use the ARKive website to find out how different species are adapted for the environment...

Produced by the new economics foundation (nef), this resource contains activities that help students to discuss and understand the issues around the use of animals for research. The materials contain teacher guidance, student information and a range of activities that promote discussion and debate. Students...

This worksheet, aimed at primary compares the gestation periods of various animals. Children complete a table using secondary sources of information which look at gestation period, average number of offspring and the life span of the animal. They then answer questions which look at patterns in the data and go on to...

Aimed at lower primary, this activity looks at how animals produce offspring which then develop into adults. It contains an activity where adult animals are matched to their offspring and a cut and paste activity which looks at stages in the lifecycle of a frog and the changes as it develops.

This resource...

In this SATIS Revisited resource, students consider the ethical questions that arise from the conflicts between concern for animal welfare and the need to use animals in medical research.

The aim is to introduce the idea that the discussion of controversial issues relating to the conduct and application of...

Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this information leaflet looks at examples of how animal research has led to the understanding of medical conditions and the development of new therapies.

Animal research has been important in the development of many major medical advances. Studies that use animals...

Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this information leaflet looks at how many animals are used in the UK, the types of research undertaken and the species of animals involved.

Both of these leaflets use official figures to provide a precise snapshot of the extent of animal research in the UK in 2011...

Produced by ARKive this resource aimed at key stage two is a collection of eight animal symmetry worksheets. Children are asked to complete the reflection of various animals to show that they exhibit reflective symmetry. Each sheet also includes an image of the animal and key facts about it. The resource uses four...

A Catalyst article looking at how research using animals causes heated debate. New drugs must be safety tested on two species of animals, the article looks at how many experiments use animals and how they are regulated, scientific procedures and genetically modified animals.

This article is from Catalyst:...
