This Catalyst article investigates materials used in jet engines. They must withstand high temperatures and great forces. Special alloys are used for structures such as turbine blades. The article is from Catalyst:...
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, these materials introduce students to circuit symbols. They develop their knowledge and understanding of circuit symbols and components through a range of short, interactive learning activities. These are particularly useful to reinforce, or consolidate,...
This video provides an introduction to waves which looks at the differences between types of wave. It would make a good revision video which discusses mechanical and electromagnetic waves with examples of each, with how particles and fields fit into the topic. They presenter also demonstrates the difference...
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Apply correctly the rules for potential difference and current in a parallel circuit.
- Explain the effects of adding a component to a circuit in parallel.
- ...
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Recall the rules for current and potential difference in a series circuit.
- Predict the effect that changing components in a series circuit has on current and potential difference...
This poster looks at the nature of antimatter. One side of the poster discusses Dirac’s prediction and the subsequent discovery of antimatter, in the form of the positron. The difficulty of the storage of antimatter is explained and the use of positrons in medical imaging (PET scanners) is described. The other side...
The EU has recently imposed limits on the power ratings of vacuum cleaners, and proposes further limits on appliances such as hairdryers. In this activity students consider a further (fictional) future restriction, on home electricity use. Students calculate the energy transferred in kilowatt-hours by the...
This resource from the European Space Agency climate change resource pack provides background information on the role of Arctic sea ice upon the Earth’s climate system. All activities are set in the context of the Northwest Passage. Changes in the amount of sea ice can disrupt normal ocean circulation, leading to...
This Catalyst article investigates whether airships are making a comeback. The Airlander is an airship which can be used for transporting heavy loads over long distances.
The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 25, Issue 3.

Ashfield Music Festival is one day off-timetable activity in which students develop skills in enterprise and learn how physics applies in the context of setting up a music festival by taking on one of six roles: project manager, health and safety advisor, construction manager, electrical engineer, sound engineer or...
The aim of this Children’s Learning in Science Project (CLIS) research study was to describe aspects of secondary school students’ ideas about light and to set these in the context of results from other studies in the area and of the history of ideas about light and...
The report from the Children’s Learning in Science Project (CLIS) gives an account of a number of aspects of students’ ideas about energy including:
*Do students use ideas about energy spontaneously to help them interpret phenomena?
*When students are ‘cued’ that energy is involved in a situation,...
This assembly activity, provided by the Association for Science Education (ASE), focuses on the controversy surrounding mobile phones. The aim of the SYCD assembly series is to make students more aware of their need for scientific understanding in the world outside school.
