In this investigation you roll a cylinder down a slope to see how altering the inclination of the slope affects its speed to calculate the radius the gyration (k) from the given equation. This would fit in well to circular motion.

This resource is from a collection of Nuffield Maths resources exploring Hypothesis testing. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources typically include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

Students need to be aware of the trade-off when the number of bits allocated to the mantissa and exponent are increased or decreased. This worksheet allows them to answer practice questions. Answers are provided.

This resource details an activity where students set up their own network of Raspberry Pis in a classroom, using another machine as their server. As with all of these sorts of activities, it is highly recommended to work through the whoole activity first, downloading the required software ahead of a lesson and...

This document introduces students to the Linux operating system by allowing them to learn and use a number of shell commands using a Raspberry Pi computer. Activities allow them to gain an understanding of how resources are managed and levels of access controlled.

This Catalyst article looks at how the spread of raspberry plants has an impact on environments it is not native to, the Galápagos Islands in particular. Many non-native plants are present on the Galápagos Islands, this article shows how a...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about rates at A level. Curriculum links include  collision theory, rates experiments, reaction mechanisms, rate equations, half-life, calculations, order of reaction, graphs, rate-determining step, and kinetics.

In this resource students are given the coordinates for each vertex of a triangle, with two of the vertices being horizontal. The challenge is to determine the ratio of the tangents of two of the angles.

Each student worksheet has a different triangle, but the solutions all have something in common.

This resource contains a worksheet, bingo cards and matching cards to give learners practice in simplifying ratios.

The resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

In this activity students tackle the problem of assigning a level of difficulty of various texts and books. The reading age is about the level of difficulty of text rather than the reading competence of the reader. The resource comprises an overview, teacher guidance...
