Key Stage Three: Watching Cement Set

In these two lessons from the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)'s Seeing Science, students explore how scientists choose the right concrete for the job. Working in small groups, the pupils make concrete samples with various additives and carry out strength tests ensuring the tests are fair. A video clip of industrial testing of concrete samples is included. STFC is a part of the Research Councils UK (RCUK) partnership of research councils.
