Students will understand the concept of steganography and will create a bitmap image. They will explore colour depth and know how to convert a custom image to binary. They will be able to decode binary images and use pattern recognition to identify abnormal data.

These resources are set in the context of the...

In these two activities, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, students use bearings to plot constellations. They are then asked to think about what they represent.

The Higher Level file has more complex...

We know that sometimes it can be difficult to visualise what STEM Ambassadors actually do.

Even after speaking to colleagues who are old hands at delivering activities, questions can still remain. Why do I need to meet the teacher first? What if the students are bored? How do I make it relevant? Where do I...

This excel workbook shows how to construct a stem and leaf diagram. The first sheet has some raw data at the top and a blank stem and leaf diagram with appropriate key is shown below. The cells in the stem and leaf diagram can be revealed or hidden and by clicking on...

The Institute of Physics worked with the  Career Development Organisation to produce activities aimed at improving students' attitude towards physics, and awareness of career routes.

The project developed two packs for use in schools with the help of the...

Stingers, from the National Strategies, are Key Stage Three test questions to stimulate whole class discussion and promote problem solving. They let both teacher and students focus on a learning objective and assess students’ knowledge and understanding.

The material is particularly relevant to students...

This lesson uses the context of traffic jams in London to consider the forces acting on vehicles and passengers.

Learning outcomes:

• Students must be able to describe the nature of the forces acting on vehicles when they are speeding up, travelling at a constant speed and decelerating.
• ...

This Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, takes a practical example of costing advertising space in a newspaper and involves the use of spreadsheets to assist in calculating and re-calculating costs. It aims to develop students' awareness of the need for algebraic formulae.

Students need to...

Stop the spread is a new STEM challenge for students aged 7 to 16. Highlighting the global issue of infectious disease students design, build and test a model of a hand washing device and produce educational materials for children in Kenya to encourage hand washing. It is accredited for the British Science...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 8.

Straight line graphs covers: coordinates, plotting points on straight lines, plotting graphs given their equations, the equation of a straight line and the equation of a line...

This resource created by Shirley Fall has twenty mystery fact cards, each containing a statement about the features of straight line graphs and how they lie on a 3 by 3 grid. The rationale is for students to use the fact cards to discover the features of each graph - its gradient, its intercept, its graph and...

In separate documents, this resource provides guidance for teachers to plan for progression of students aged 11-16, based on the National Strategies Framework for Secondary Science Learning Objectives. For each learning objective there is further explanation to help teachers to help students make progress, and ‘...
