Cell Signalling *suitable for home teaching*
Produced in 2014, this resource looks at cell signalling when the hormone adrenaline binds to receptors on the surface of the target cell. The resource sheets describe how the original hormonal signal is amplified through a cascade reaction.
...This series of science experiments from the National STEM Learning Centre and Network are presented as Christmas table demonstrations, using household equipment, but are also suitable for use in the classroom at both primary and secondary level to illustrate a range of scientific concepts.
Chromatography atmosphere
Surrounding the Earth, like a blanket, is the atmosphere. Without it we couldn’t survive. The atmosphere is a layer of gases, the air, which plants and animals use to respire. It is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, as well as many other gases in much smaller quantities.
This unit gives children a...
The Internet of Things (IoT) is about connecting the unconnected, and it is growing rapidly. It uses sensor-equipped physical computing devices, connected through wired and wireless networks and the internet. The IoT has many uses, include the...
Introduction to the Grand Challenge resources
This collection of resources consists of a set of lessons through which Key Stage Three students investigate the impacts of climate change on glaciers. The learning objectives are:
- To understand the definition of a glacier
- To understand what glacier mass balance means (what inputs mass and...
Climate change in the Polar regions
Children will work with hypothetical data to help them understand how mathematics can model real life situations. This will enable them to reflect on how mathematics might be used to help scientists make predictions about the possible impact of climate change in the Polar regions. They will also use real data on...
Climate change models and predictions
These videos were part of the STEM Learning Climate Change Teacher Conference, in May 2021.
The first video features three researchers from the MET Office, who introduce us to the world of climate modelling and how it is used to make a range of global and regional climate projections. These models include...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
