This uses a motor, a sparkle and a marble to imitate a lighthouse. It can be made harder by incorporating LDRs.

The best school environments give an impression of liveliness, with attractive spaces and a general feeling of pleasantness which it is difficult to define. There can be no doubt that in these cases the surroundings contribute to the happiness and well-being of teachers and pupils, and that lighting plays a...

In this resource students will carry out experiments with prisms, polarising film and 3D cinema glasses to explain some of the interesting properties of light and their applications.

Curriculum links include refractive index, total internal reflection, polarisation

Since 1951, Nobel Laureates and young scientists have met in Lindau in Bavaria for a scientific conference which aims to foster scientific exchange between different cultures and generations.

These animated videos use clips from some of the conference presentations to explain globally relevant scientific...

In this Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, students are given opportunities to explore line painting through a practical approach, enabling them to appreciate the need to use algebraic reasoning in a visual setting.

The main themes are using and applying mathematics, constructing functions arising...

In this activity students literally form a line to demonstrate their understanding of  the environmental, economic and social impact of everyday products, then discuss and debate.  The activity helps them understand the impact of everyday products throughout their life cycle from manufacturing to disposal.

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 9.

Linear graphs and equations covers: coordinates, straight line graphs, solving linear equations, the gradient of parallel and perpendicular lines and solving simultaneous...

This short task asks students to identify linear, exponential growth, and exponential decay from tables of values. Students then sketch the graphs and identify the equation representing the linear relationship.

This is a short task from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service, a collaboration between UC...

This sub-collection of resources from the ‘Graphing Stories’ collection contains situations that give rise to linear graphs. Some of the graphs contain proportional relationships, whist others show just linear relationships.

This short task considers identifying and interpreting linear graphs.

Students are given five equations of linear graphs. They must match four of them with graphs that have been drawn, and then draw the other graph on a set of axes. The final part of the task is to find a graph that could represent the speed...

This set of course materials from the National STEM Learning Centre and Network were designed to build an understanding of how electronics can be combined with textiles at Key Stage Three, starting with simple circuits and leading to more complex programming and effects...

Linnean Learning wants to see a world where curiosity in the natural world is shared by all young people. We work with young people, teachers, parents and other adults to inspire the next generation to engage with world outside.

Linnean Learning projects are a part of the Linnean Society of London, which...

There are four posters in this resource covering the following areas of the biology curriculum:

• Biodiversity: gives an overview of what biodiversity is, how it is measured and the threats to biodiversity
• Classification: describes the main features of classification and the binomial system of...
