In this project, students make their own aspirin or paracetamol and then test the purity of the pain-reliever and compare it to shop-bought. This covers titrations, chromatography and other analytical techniques.
The aim of this project is to investigate the properties of alcohol/water mixtures, and how these properties can be used to measure alcohol content. The alcohol in drinks is ethanol, C2H5OH. However, the ethanol used in the laboratory has been methylated by adding 5% of methanol, CH3...
This Nuffield Working with Science unit featured experiments derived from forensic techniques but could only give the 'flavour' of a scientific investigation of a crime. The unit aimed to emphasise the basic needs, in a scientific investigation of evidence, of accurate...
These eighteen assignments and a teachers' guide, from the Association for Science Education (ASE) aim to encourage non-scientists to embrace a little science. The aim is to increase student's skills whilst quashing a few "science is boring" stereotypes. All assignments have been written to cover a variety of non-...
This activity, from the Association for Science Education (ASE) has been developed specifically to deliver science and history teaching through the context of space travel.
Cross-curricular activities strengthen links with other departments in a school, and help students to integrate their scientific...
In this activity, students learn about X-ray crystallography. As well as considering its importance (scientists have used the technique to elucidate the structures of over half a million substances) students use models to learn about – and...
In this activity, students synthesise prior learning about structure and bonding, and about enzymes, and apply it to a new context: X-ray crystallography. The main part of the activity involves students pitching for funding for new equipment – how will they use the...
This role play activity illustrates natural selection, based on the cuckoo/host example of co-evolution. as well as providing opportunities for developing key scientific skills such as experimental design and research.
Examples of natural selection and evolution in secondary...
Two worksheet based activities that can be used to identify the impacts of technology upon people to sustain their communities in the future. The first activity considers the cultural impact upon sustainability with key questions to research and the second task is an analysis activity looking at cultural, economic...
In this activity students investigate the mystery of a light beam which seems to bend. Students can investigate:
- Qualitative behaviour of light when the medium in which it propagates changes its refraction index.
- Quantitative evaluation of the behaviour of light in refraction by means of...
In this activity, students draw and cut out scaled pictures of different cell types, comparing these to the size of a salt crystal.
Seven activity sheets produced by the Institute of Physics (IOP) to accompany the MODEL Project's Cutting Edge Materials video.
Worksheet one takes an overview of the topic. Worksheets two - seven are targeted at specific sections of the video.
Answers to all the worksheet questions are provided in...
In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), students are introduced to how the present body centric antenna, plus prosthetic technology, could be compared to science fiction ‘cyborgs’. Students are also asked to discuss ethical issues...
This Science upd8 resource draws on cyclone Sidr which hit Bangladesh in November 2007. Millions were left homeless and 3,000 people were killed. The activity asks students to look at how cyclones happen and addresses the common misconception that air is 'nothing' and weightless.
Produced in 2015, these resources use Cystic Fibrosis as a context to provide an opportunity to develop students understanding of a number of key concepts in biology in a connected and real way. Scientific advances in the treatment and diagnosis of CF are fast moving,...
