The second Student Workbook for Nuffield Physical Science began with an extensive introduction to this novel course for students. The Workbook was not designed as a textbook.

The content of each section was arranged on the same plan, and each contained four types of material: 'Introduction', passages of '...

A maths skills handbook covering all the skills identified by the DfE as relevant for OCR A level chemistry (H032, H432, H033...

A practical skills handbook to accompany the OCR Practical Endorsement for OCR A level chemistry (H033/H433), incorporating supporting material for teachers and students, covering practical skills requirements, practical skills assessed in the written exam, practical skills assessed in the Practical Endorsement,...

A multiple choice quiz on oceans for AS/A level  chemistry.

Although it is written for OCR AS/A level chemistry (Salters) H033/H433 course, it can be edited to suit your scheme of work.

This online ecology practical, from SAPS, uses random sampling to measure the abundance of various different species on an area of grassland.

Objectives

To give students practice at

• using random sampling to measure the abundance of various different species on an area of...

In this resource from SAPS, students learn about random sampling, diversity and different measures of abundance, before looking at close-up photographs of quadrats and using the field guide to identify them. The resources are intended to help students develop skills and plant identification techniques before going...

This online ecology practical, by SAPS, is designed to give students an opportunity to see how systematic sampling can be used to

• investigate changes in species richness across a footpath
• the distribution of species across a footpath

These online exercises are not intended as a...

This activity is an ideal way to introduce the concept of chirality and optical isomerism to students.

During the lesson they first learn to recognise ...

Many of the chemicals we use as drugs, flavourings and perfumes originate from natural sources but often the most economical way of obtaining them is to produce them artificially on an industrial scale.

In this...

A multiple choice quiz on the ozone layer AS/A level chemistry.

Although it is written for OCR AS/A level chemistry (Salters) H033/H433 course, it can be edited to suit your scheme of work.

This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...

This activity introduces students to quantitative reasoning problems in Earth science and physics. It supports students in using ‘back of the envelope’ reasoning to help them gain an instinctive understanding of the timescales and magnitudes of geological processes. The activity provides excellent preparation for...

From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics for Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that coffee cools gradually because it is hotter than room temperature and heat is lost to the room. Mixing the coffee with milk also cools it but this effect is...

From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by MEI, this series of activities explores how mechanical oscillations are important in many areas of everyday life. Sometimes they are useful, for example the motion of the suspension on a car, sometimes they...
