This is a quick worksheet for students to label the parts of the uterus and describe the function of each part. Curriculum links include reproduction, pregnancy.

This is a starter activity in which students describe the route of a molecule of oxygen from air in the lungs to a muscle in a leg. A simple circulation “map” is provided to enable students to trace the route from the lungs, through the heart and to the leg. The map is supplied in 2 forms
at different levels...

In this starter activity, students use the information on a labelled diagram of a knee joint to complete a cloze exercise. Students can work out logically where to insert words, given a list. Additionally, sports injuries and treatment can be considered. Curriculum links include the skeletal system and muscles....

These maths samples from Badger include lesson starters and main activities in the form of problem solving.

The lesson starters have clear objectives linked to the Framework for Teaching Mathematics, a list of key words and questions. The starters can be used either to introduce an idea which then goes on to...

This activity, suitable for a multi-lesson sequence or a single extended session, challenges students to design and prototype a simple motion-sensing alarm. The device is intended to prevent theft or the accidental picking-up of a bag.

Motion is sensed using the accelerometer built-in to the BBC micro:bit,...

This Licence to Cook practical session is about the production of bread based products, with students making either Dinner rolls or Pesto pizza or Finnish fruit plait. There is scope for students to be creative, selecting different types of ingredients that could be combined into the dishes. The writing frames can...

This resource for Key Stage Three students provides detailed information about each food type and gives examples and daily portion allowances. The resource would link to studies about food, diet and health, and the life processes and nutritional needs of humans. 

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify pairs of forces that are balanced or unbalanced.

• Calculate the size and direction of the resultant force of two forces acting along the same straight line....

With this simulation students can move objects on a seesaw to learn about balance and test what they have learned by trying the Balance Challenge game.

Sample learning objectives include:

*Predict how objects of various masses can be used to make a plank balance.

*Predict how changing the...

With this simulation students can explore the conservation of mass and balance chemical equations. Sample learning objectives include: *Balance a chemical equation. *Recognize that the number of atoms of each element is conserved in a chemical reaction. Describe the difference between coefficients and subscripts in...

This resource from Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a practical, classroom activity that allows the students to make a balloon model of a disease-causing bacterium. This illustrates its basic shape and structure. Students can choose from three bacteria species...

A balloon is being blown up by a person. Between blows, the person pauses. As time progresses the person takes longer pauses and shallower blows. At the end, the air is released from the balloon. The challenge is to graph the length of the balloon against time.

In this activity, students consider the evidence for causal links between sugar consumption, obesity and disease. They then weigh up arguments for and against banning sugary drink sales to children.

Curriculum links include:

Key Stage Three:

*Working Scientifically: Analysis and evaluation –...

In this activity students work as researchers on a TV show and plan a report about the claim that sunbeds cause skin cancer.

Learning objectives:

*Use knowledge about UV light to explain the link between sunbeds and skin cancer.

*Understand how scientific evidence can support a claim.
