These Key Stage Three training materials from the Department for Education are designed to run a session with science teachers to help them design and develop effective science lessons that might involve writing, practical and group work.

A number of images from Practical Action showing the effects of climate change and climate change adaptation. The images can be freely used by students and/or incorporated into teaching resources by teachers. The following text describes each of the photographs: *Drought in Kenya means there is little water left...

In this resource linked to COP27 in Egypt, maths students apply pythagoras’ theorem to solving Egypt’s road building conundrum. The resource explores efficient road designs and the climate impacts of car travel then uses the context of reducing travel time for the most people, reducing the length of new roads and...

• Describe the effects of an electric shock on a person.

• Explain why there are no standard mains sockets in a bathroom....

The Frederick Bremer School developed this ‘off timetable’ STEAM activity with the help of a STEM Ambassador with interest and experience in this field of electronics as applied to music and dance performance. The activity incorporated electronics, control (switching), textiles, coloured and reflective fluorescent/...

Following a presentation on the electromagnetic spectrum, students are asked to produce a presentation which must include the following:

*How frequency is involved in categorising different waves.

• Identify types of electromagnetic radiation that can be naturally occurring.
• Describe a range of sources of harmful electromagnetic...

This Powerpoint presentation from the May 2016 Research Conference looks at the issues facing teachers in using evaluation in their CPD activities and illustrates how to do this more effectively.

This resource explores UK energy sources. Students will learn that the UK currently uses a mixture of non-renewable and renewable energy resources for its energy supply but to mitigate climate change, more renewables must be used. Students will be able to give examples of why, where and how, wind, solar,...

Students use the resource to look at some of the sectors in Engineering including Aerospace, Automotive, Communications, Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, Environmental, Transport, Rail & Marine Engineering.

Through production of a written research piece, supported by information...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), focuses on understanding the concept of modular design and the casting process. The resource is designed to allow students to:

• describe the...

Students are given introduction to a selection of Engineering employers. They consider some of the key employers that work in engineering sectors. Students complete a card sort activity of work undertaken by the companies that matches their logo from the Aerospace, Automotive, Communications, Electrical/Electronic...

This lesson develops the concepts of estimating the lengths of everyday objects, and converting between decimal and scientific notation.

An introductory activity looks at converting between decimal and scientific notation.

The main activity involves a collaborative exercise centred around picture...

This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Model a situation.
• Make sensible, realistic assumptions and estimates.
• Use assumptions and estimates to create a chain of reasoning, in order to solve a practical problem.

This...
