From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to investigate forces and balance.
The materials contain a clown shape to colour in and cut out. The shape is then weighted with steel washers and balanced on a taut piece of string. Once...
Balloon Buggies
From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to investigate forces and motion.
A wide variety of buggies can be constructed and powered by a jet of air escaping from a balloon. Such a vehicle may run for a distance of 20 to 30 metres...
Boxes and Bottles
Boxes and bottles come in all shapes and sizes. These Cre8ate maths activities explore some of the mathematics behind packaging decisions taken by manufacturers, they provide a platform for students to make conjectures and find efficient ways of recording results to justify claims they have made.

Boys, Girls and Chimps
This Science upd8 activity draws on research which shows that young female chimps learn survival skills faster and more effectively than males.
Their sex-based learning differences are similar to those of humans! In this activity students look at research evidence and decide whether learning differences are...
Brain Power Booster
This Science upd8 activity investigates the claim that taking fish oil every day boosts students' school performance. The original study had no control. In this activity, students plan how to get more evidence on the effects of fish oils.
