Clouds reflect the sun’s light, cooling the planet, but they can also act a bit like greenhouse gases, warming the planet. In this film, Dan Grosvenor from the University of Leeds, shows how different types of cloud have a different climate effect.

In the associated activity, students will test the...

This simulation can be used to explore pressure under and above water and see how pressure changes as you change fluids, gravity, container shapes, and volume.

Sample learning objectives include:

*Describe how pressure changes in air and water as a function of depth.

*Describe what variables...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the terms: mean, median, mode, range and explore the relationships between these measures and their relationship to the shape of a distribution. Students will have met the terms mean, median, mode and range but they may not have a clear understanding...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the difference between perimeter and area. Students get practice in calculating the areas and the perimeters of rectangular shapes. Students may have had some previous experience of calculating perimeter and area. (GCSE Grades D - G)
