This blog, from Mr CompSci, details key concepts of functional programming. This is a useful resource for teachers as well as students. It could be used as a revision resource, a reference or for students to prepare notes from.

This paper recommends that more in-depth analysis of existing data, of interventions and their impact, is necessary before it can reliably be concluded that further action is necessary to improve stretch and progression in science post-16. 

In this task students are required to estimate dimensions and use given densities to calculate an estimate for the mass of a number of objects. Calculators and/or spreadsheets are recommended when substituting into the formulae for the volume and mass of the solids.

The teachers' notes give a suggested...

Much of this video shows how many people do not understand how the seasons are caused.  There is a small section at the end that attempts to clarify the cause.

Students investigate why some plastic cups collapse when filled with hot water and some don't.  They compare the effect of hot water on a range of cups and relate their findings to the properties of the plasticsused for each cup:  whether it is biodegradable or not, its melting...
