A 3D picture of the solar system

In October 2006, NASA launched two spacecraft that would, for the first time in the history of space exploration, capture space-born, high-definition 3D images of the Sun. In 3D Sun, the leading NASA scientists from the mission unveil these images and take us behind the scenes to tell the story of the Sun and why...

Like a 3D printer in the palm of your hand, you can create amazing structures, models or objects. Fully ambidextrous, it's...

This book is part of the Archive Collection which is available to view at the National STEM Learning Centre.

A basic primary mathematics series from the late 1960s.

The ASE Materials and Equipment booklet provides lists of equipment and materials compiled from what primary teachers at the time (1966) found met the needs of their own classes as they developed investigations. It reassured teachers that a large collection of equipment...

This video introduces 4 interesting physics problems about rotational motion. Students are asked to explain each problem.

1. A mystery object rolling down an inclined plank.  The cylinder moves in a stop-start motion.

The container is filled with honey and 2 ping pong balls. The changing centre of...

In this resource students are asked to find the value of several calculations that involve addition, subtraction and the squaring of fractions. Students are asked to spot patterns and similarities within the questions in order to generalise. The investigation concludes bu using algebra to prove their conjectures....

This times tables game involves children working in pairs using 'target boards' to practise multiplication facts. Children use the ‘target boards’ to choose questions, winning points for each correct answer, the more difficult the multiplication fact the more points they win. Once the question has been answered, it...

This session provides the materials needed to organise a 'showcase day' for pupils to share the creations and ideas they developed as part of the 'Saving Today's Dinosaurs' course. A template letter is provided for schools to invite guests to the event, and PowerPoint...
