These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Explain the difference between distance and displacement, and between speed and velocity.
• Calculate displacement and velocity for one-dimensional motion.   
• Calculate...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Read values of speed or velocity off a speed-time or velocity-time graph, and interpret the meaning of a negative velocity.
• Describe the motion of an object from a velocity-time...

The first three sheets of this interactive excel file show Venn Diagrams of two sets and allow the student to explore other sets based on their union, intersection and complements. By clicking on the Boolean Algebra expression the region is shown on the Venn Diagram....

From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this wall chart describes the space mission to Venus, the UK experiments aboard, and the extreme conditions on the surface of Venus. In addition to mission details, the resource describes properties of Venus and the conditions found on the surface of the...

A Catalyst article about the European Space Agency (ESA) which has sent the Venus Express spacecraft to explore Earth's cloudy neighbour. The purpose of the project, which is primarily to gather information about the atmosphere around Venus, is explained and is put into context with concerns about climate change on...

Purpose: Providing students with verbal feedback on their work avoids problems some students encounter when interpreting written comments. Using digital technology to record and then provide access to verbal feedback saves the teacher valuable lesson time and can be replayed by the student at will.

Teaching...

This video demonstrates a simple experiment to investigate the principle of moments.

A selection of films suitable for use in the classroom presented by Derek Muller the from the ever popular Veritasium YouTube channel . 

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B units called ‘Energy’ and ‘Seeing and light’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The...

Physicists are involved in a wide range of activities, including electronics, energy, space, transport, medicine and materials. Their work can involve designing and conducting experiments, simulating real-life problems and conditions in laboratories, or making a series of observations which are written up in...

This resource is part of a Nuffield Maths collection exploring Shape and Space. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

Through these resources students learn about shape and space using patterns, created by tessellating geometric shapes in Victorian...

Purpose: Recording a video clip of motion or colour change is an effective means of generating data, but video can also be created to communicate the methods and findings of a practical science activity.

Teaching approach: Still images, and video clips can be imported into a video editing app, where they can...

Purpose: As an alternative to traditional methods of investigating motion in the classroom, such as ticker tape timers or light gates, it is simpler and cheaper to analyse video clips of the movement of objects. Cameras in mobile phones and tablets can record a brief video which when imported into a video analysis...
