Monkey and Hunter
From the National STEM Learning Centre, this short video illustrates the effect of gravity on a projectile's motion by using a classic physics demonstration called the Monkey and the Hunter. If a hunter fires horizontally at a monkey in a tree, and simultaneously the monkey releases their grip to fall off the...
MRI Scanning (Siemens)
A National STEM Learning Centre and Network Engineering Case Studies resource investigating the super magnets used in MRI scanning machines.
Can MRI scans discover if you're telling lies?
...National Science Learning Network regional programme evaluation
Published in July 2015, this report from the ISOS Partnership evaluates the implementation and impact of the third phase of the National Science Learning Network’s regional programme.
The full collection of STEM Learning impact and evaluation research reports can be viewed...
These materials, from the National Science Learning Network, look at electronics, electricity, robotics and control. A range of activities include teachers' notes as well as student activity sheets.
Topics on electricity are aimed to give support and guidance to teachers through articles on:

This collection includes ten case studies that link the world of engineering to Key Stage Three Science. The case studies help to link classroom learning with real-life science and engineering challenges. Each case study includes descriptions of the products being looked at, student activities and teacher guidance...
National STEM Learning Network: regional programme - evaluation report 2015-2016
In 2015-16, the regional Network has been found to have sustained a strong upward trajectory in the amount of CPD that it is delivering, increasing its level of CPD delivery by 45% compared to 2014-15, and surpassing the levels of CPD delivery achieved in previous years.
The Network has also forged new...
New Materials and Nanotechnology
Produced in 2015, this resource looks at glass microspheres, which contain radioactive Y-90, and are currently being used to treat liver cancer in humans, where their chemical durability is of prime importance.
This...
Ocean Grabber
In this resource learners will explore why scientists are engaged in research at the bottom of the Antarctic and Arctic Oceans. They will understand the importance of collecting samples of organisms...
Oil Rig Risers (BP)
A National STEM Learning Centre and Network Engineering Case Studies resource investigating recovery techniques used in the oil and gas industry and their potential environmental impact.
We need more oil and gas, but...
Oscilloscope
Produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics, this video demonstrates how to use an oscilloscope to measure potential differences that vary with time. The clip shows how to set up the oscilloscope and explains how the vertical displacement corresponds to a potential difference. The...
