This file has worksheets showing seven polar coordinate diagrams. The first allows students to explore simple polar coordinates by either inputting values for r and θ or stating those values for computer generated points. This is followed by two interactive sheets...

This video explains the difference between unpolarised light and plane polarised light in terms of using a slit to eliminate unwanted electric wave orientations. It is a continuation of Electromagnetic waves: why they are transverse....

This Nuffield Working with Science unit aimed to help students to recognise examples of pollution in their own neighbourhood and find out its origins. Students learn to appreciate that the problems of preventing pollution are very complex and that important conflicting...

Charlotte is a Pollution, Prevention and Control Officer for the Environment Agency - "you could say I'm a policeman for the environment". In the video Charlotte explains that she found it a challenge being a woman in chemical engineering but had support from her university professor. The Environment Agency offered...

This poster illustrates the stages of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the uses of this in cancer research, tissue matching, forensic medicine, infection detection and genetic testing.

A multiple choice quiz on polymers and life for  AS/A level chemistry.

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

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this book is aimed at post-16 chemistry students but will also be useful for students following technology or vocational courses. The book helps students to first understand the basis of polymer chemistry and the plastics industry. It moves on to consider...

From The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these activities are aimed at post-16 students following courses in technology, engineering, physics or materials science. The activities described allow students to gain experience and practice experimental technique in the testing of materials' physical...

This resource contains seven problems requiring students to explore the graphs of polynomials. Students are required to explain how they know whether a graph will cross the x axis, explain the differences and similarities of the graphs of two polynomials given just the equation, asked to devise questions that could...

The first of three RISP activities exporing polynomials, The Gold and Silver Cuboid requires students to find a connection...

This resource contains seven activities related to population statistics.

Data Assessment...

This video demonstrates population sampling techniques by investigating whether the number of buttercups in our chosen field differs from the top of the hill to the bottom.

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you read the word population? Most likely it’s the ever-increasing human population on earth. The term population isn’t just used to describe humans; it includes other animals, plants and microbes too. These resources will help you learn more about how...
