The magic of…is a collection of four resources, produced by Queen Mary College at the University of London, designed for teachers to use in the classroom with the intention of making learning engaging and entertaining. The four resources are all linked to the relevant curricula and provide inspiration when teaching...

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the aeronautical industry. Students are given a scenario which involves the recovery of stranded mountaineers by a rescue helicopter and the considerations required for a successful outcome. Trigonometry, formula...

Ofsted survey report investigating why many of the most able students from non-selective schools fail to achieve their potential.

This video applies physics to explain how trees can move water up their trunks over 10m, which is the natural limit of sucked water. The ideas of transpiration, osmotic pressure and capillary attraction are considered.  The explanation shows how a negative pressure is be obtained from the intermolecular forces and...

The video explores people’s understanding of what light is. A wide range of misconceptions and incorrect ideas are given. Newton thought that light consisted of particles, whereas Huygens thought light was a wave. Using a cardboard box to recreate Thomas Young’s double slit experiment the wave properties of light...

This is a nice example of an animation produced by students to explain one impact of climate change - ocean acidification.  You could link with a local university department to enrich a project like this, as has been done in this case - Ridgeway School in Plymouth ...

A multiple choice quiz on the periodic table for A/AS level chemistry.

Although it is written for OCR AS/A level chemistry A and B (H032, H432,  H033, H433), it can be edited to suit your scheme of work.

A fun introduction to algebra within computer science via the medium of a card trick. This resource is part of the CS4FN series from Queen Mary, University of London. The resource consists of an introductory presentation and accompanying activity sheet for students.

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this investigation enables students to investigate the response of leaf discs from sun and shade plants to green light

Leaf discs from a sun plant and a shade plant are put in a sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The rate of photosynthesis is seen by how...
