This resource requires problem solving using skills in forming and factorising expressions.

Students investigate the sum of four consecutive numbers. Initially this is done using numerical examples. There are a series of statements for students to classify as ‘sometimes true’, ‘always true’, or ‘never true...

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the advantages of big telescopes and the use of telescopes to do astronomy across the whole electromagnetic spectrum. They will then explore the transit method of detecting exoplanets (either practically, or using real astronomical data) and use mathematics to...

This paper from the May 2016 Using STEM Research Conference looked at two research projects  which were intended to develop beginning and experienced teachers’ explanations in secondary science classrooms.

The first study involves beginning teachers and is focused on developing their understanding of what is...

Explore Your Universe is a partnership between the UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres (ASDC) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The vision for the project is to inspire a new sense of excitement amongst young people and their families through telling the amazing stories and...

In this activity students will explore the theme of electrical resistance by experimenting with an electronic...

In this activity, students examine changes to forests in cross-border regions of Africa and Borneo using Google Earth Pro to help identify features shown in satellite images and make measurements. The context allows students to explore the factors which put pressure on forested areas, and what is being done to...

Act 1

A simulation is shown of a Ferris-wheel, where one of...

This lesson develops the concept of area of a circle. In particular students will:

  • Sketch and construct loci involving arcs of circles
  • Calculate the area of a circle, given its radius
  • Calculate the radius of a circle, given its area

The opening question is about a goat...

This lesson develops the concept of ‘Greatest Common Factor’ (GCF) and ‘Least Common Multiple’ (LCM). The central theme is to separate out the two concepts.

There is an introductory ‘guess my numbers’ activity. The GCF and LCM of a pair of numbers is given and students must work out what the numbers are,...

In this lesson students will develop an understanding of finishes that can be applied to timber to enhance their properties. Students will complete a finishes worksheet throughout the lesson; creating future revision notes. Lessons learnt knowledge will be tested in a series of exam style questions with provided...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores the qualities and/or properties which make a material fit for purpose. The resource is designed to allow students to:

• understand that...

This activity involves a series of discussions and ranking activities to develop students understanding of the link between fitness, pulse rate, respiration and activity. It can be used as an introduction to the ...

This challenge, from Practical Action, requires students to design and build a model structure that will enable farmers to grow crops even in an area that may become flooded. A floating garden, built on a base of aquatic weeds, is a low cost and sustainable way of allowing people to grow vegetables. The resource...
