This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at how tracking insects can help scientists forecast summer storms and floods, and the role one of Europe's key satellite missions played in the recent floods in Queensland, Australia.

The huge...

A collection of post 16 resources about transcription, translation and gene expression.  These resources are part of the Post 16 genetics and genomics collection.

This video reviews how transistors work and introduces Moore’s law, i.e., the number of transistors fitted onto a chip increases exponentially with time. 

This means that the size of the transistor must reduce significantly.  However, as the buffer zone (prevents current flowing) between n-type...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at transits, eclipses and occultations. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic...

These technical briefs focus on ways to transport goods and people in a relatively low cost way. This is important to people in the...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about transport in animals at A level. Curriculum links include surface area to volume ratio, circulatory system, heart, blood vessles, cardiac cycle, oxygen dissociation curves, ECG,  and blood flow rates....

A set of ideas and resources for teaching about transpiration and transport in plants at A level, along with some common difficulties which students have on this topic in exams.

Activities include The weirdness of plants, which gives ideas for raising students’ curiosity about how plants live...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of transportation planner, and STEM Ambassador, Dan Cornelius.

Dan's role is to assess road schemes and their impacts on local and regional areas. He develops graphic models of the situation and location. This allows him to manipulate elements, such...

A Catalyst article about increased levels of carbon dioxide causing global warming. The atmosphere is being polluted when fossil fuels such as petrol are burnt releasing carbon dioxide. Despite concern about global warming, it seems nobody wants to use their cars less. The article looks at what can be done to...

A Catalyst article about wood as a renewable source of energy. Wood and biomass products could be used to generate electricity in the UK, and the article looks at the advantages and disadvantages of doing this and the technologies such energy generation would require.
