In this practical activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students investigate aspects of signal processing. Working in teams, students convert an analogue brain signal into a digital format and transmit it across the classroom to another...
In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students carry out some data analysis to find the best material from which to make a prosthetic foot. They plot graphs of stress against strain and calculate the modulus of elasticity for a...
Man-made satellites are put in specific orbits around our Earth and other planets to do certain jobs e.g. to send digital communications or to monitor the weather. These orbits can be distinguished by height above the planet and the orbital period. The orbits of natural satellites are much more varied and these...
Children are asked to investigate home-use washing products to find out which ones achieve the best result on stained fabric, by running a fair test. Fabric samples are left to soak in a container of warm water with selected washing products, before being removed, rubbed and then rinsed. Children are encouraged to...
Produced by Understanding Animal Research, this information leaflet looks at how, and why, animals are used in medical research. The information provided by is based on thorough research and understanding of the facts, historical and scientific.
The leaflet is useful as information for teachers and also as...
This resource looks at the impact of climate change, in particular flooding and drought, and how science can be used to mitigate against it. Students first explore perceptions about climate change, then look at ways to communicate the significance of climate change to different groups of people. They then explore...
There is much debate about reducing greenhouse gases and how renewable energy sources might form part of the answer. Most people agree that renewable energy is a good thing, but how do people react when a wind farm is proposed to be built near them? The following...
From the Royal Astronomical Society, this leaflet looks at career pathways and opportunities in astronomy. It also gives case studies that illustrate the jobs held by women astronomers, including: * Astronomy lecturer and researcher * British Antarctic Survey researcher * Earth scientist * Astrophysicist
Produced by the National Non-Food Crops Centre (NNFCC), these two reports look at the use of wood for heating. They are technical reports but contain a lot of information that may be of use to teachers or post-16 students who are researching the subject and require in-depth information. The two reports cover...
Produced by NHS Careers, this toolkit provides background information and advice for schools and other organisations involved in arranging work experience for students in the NHS.
This pack provides a stimulating way of learning about scientific journal articles and highlights the difference between ‘research’ and ‘review’ papers.
It is suggested that students start by watching a silent video showing an unusual behaviour in capuchin monkeys, ‘anointing’, for which there are various...
This resource explains what a salt marsh is and how they record sea-level changes. As salt marshes are zoned by tidal inundation, salt marsh plants and sediments can then record changes in sea level as the zones move horizontally in response to vertical changes in sea level.
In a practical experiment,...
This resource provides a stand-alone lesson to support World Oceans Day in schools. The short activities include:
Ocean acidification in a cup which demonstrates the basic process of ocean acidification
Dissolving shell in vinegar investigates how the decreasing pH of...
From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this brochure describes the leading role played by UK scientists and engineers at universities, observatories and research council establishments in X-ray Multi Mission-Newton (XXM-Newton). Using XMM-Newton, astronomers will be able to pinpoint and study in...
These resources offer a series of activities to use alongside the six books which have been shortlisted for the Young People’s Book Prize 2021.The activities include investigations and experiments related to various topics, such as plants, biodiversity and the environment, inventions and inventors, space and the...
