These PowerPoint presentations from MEI demonstrate a variety of methods which can be used to factorise polynomials. The techniques include factorising cubics and quartics by inspection; using a table and algebraic long division.

In this Science upd8 activity students use chemical techniques and reactions to investigate a crime scene. Students learn about the particle model to solve a crime that has been committed in an art gallery. They compare ways to show fingerprints including using the sublimation of iodine.

In this set of activities aimed at ages 6-7, children explore food chains of different animals, including humans. They learn about food chains in different parts...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with  the opportunity to explore circle area, accuracy of measure, percentages and data handling by investigating defects in steel production.

This resource supports the teaching of instrumental analysis, including gas chromatography - mass spectrometry  (GS-MS) time of flight mass spectrometry, using the context of archaeology. This is done by relating the use of solvents, chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques to discoveries from the study of...

This Core Maths resource package involves students completing a financially-themed project. Students are given the task of promoting, manufacturing and delivering a new mobile phone for the best possible price. Students complete annual reports on monthly income and expenditure, explore interest rates, exchange...

The maximum value of a quadratic function is given, together with the value of f(3) and the information that this is equal to f(-1). The challenge is to determine the coefficients of the quadratic. This involves the use of symmetry and solution of a simultaneous equation.

This lesson develops the concept of area of a circle. In particular students will:

• Sketch and construct loci involving arcs of circles
• Calculate the area of a circle, given its radius
• Calculate the radius of a circle, given its area

The opening question is about a goat...

This lesson develops the concept of ‘Greatest Common Factor’ (GCF) and ‘Least Common Multiple’ (LCM). The central theme is to separate out the two concepts.

There is an introductory ‘guess my numbers’ activity. The GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is given and students must work out what the numbers are,...

In this lesson students will develop an understanding of finishes that can be applied to timber to enhance their properties. Students will complete a finishes worksheet throughout the lesson; creating future revision notes. Lessons learnt knowledge will be tested in a series of exam style questions with provided...

This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour and size Lego bricks are assigned to protons, neutrons and electrons. Fusion is shown by joining bricks together and fission by breaking large collections of bricks apart....
