Key stage three posters (SI base units and measurements)
These posters from the National Physical Laboratory are ideal for the key stage three classroom.
- The accuracy and precision poster explains the difference between the two concepts. These ideas are equally applicable for key stages four and five.
- The sound poster explains the terminology of volume (amplitude) and frequency (pitch) with illustrative graphs.
- The temperature poster describes different types of thermometer and their temperature ranges.
- The designing water rockets poster shows how to scientifically design a water rocket. The water rockets poster shows how important the shape of the rocket is and what forces act on the rocket.
- The value of measurement poster provides examples of how measurement improves our lives.
- The 7 SI base units poster explains what the 7 SI base units are. There are also individual posters for each SI base unit.
