The first of two RISP activities, Radians and Degrees, students are set the task of finding an angle whose sine value is the same whether measured in radians or degrees....

Tunnelworks is a series of teaching and learning resources linking mathematics and science to the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, a major new sewer that will help protect the River Thames from increasing pollution. Background to the project is given in the...

This document contains a number of activities for students to carry out. They develop an instruction set for a fictional processor which forms a thought-provoking introduction to this topic. Encourage them to think about basic mathematical operations and how data values need to be manipulated within the CPU. This...

This folder of guidance and resources was published for UNESCO by the Association for Science Education. The resources consisted of 26 modules each with Student’s Notes and Teacher’s Notes.

UNESCO Project 2000+ was a collaborative partnership between eleven major international agencies and inter-governmental...

This RISP, Almost Identical, is an activity designed to consolidate work on hyperbolics, exponentials...

From the LSIS, this activity helps students understand risk assessment and its application in a range of settings. It has four stages: * Stage 1 - considers the five principles of risk assessment and moves on to consider the guidelines for determining the level of risk. * Stage 2 - students assess the hazards and...

[b]Functions and their derivatives:[/b] the objective of this activity is to develop skills in working with functions, their derivatives and function notation. The suggested activity begins by asking students to explain what is meant by f'(3) and what is the difference between f(2) and f'(2). There follows a...

[b]Modulus graphs:[/b] the objectives of this activity are to understand the concepts and notation of modulus graphs and to expose common misconceptions in the interpretation of modulus notation. The suggested activity asks groups of students to match function cards with graphs and to explain their thinking....

[b]Using positional vocabulary[/b]: the objective of this activity is for students to practise using positional vocabulary. The suggested activity requires students to hide an object in the classroom, then give directions to other students in order to find the missing object. The resource contains many prompts,...

This activity examines the use of percentages in research and the media. The examples used focus on the distinction between absolute and relative percentages and percentage changes. The need for improved education in the area of communication of risk is at the heart of...

Odd One Out, provided by RISPs, helps students focus on mathematical properties to determine which of three numbers or expressions is the odd one out.

For example, given the triplet 2, 3, 9:
2 could be the odd...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), the activities in this resource allow students to examine science concepts applicable to the healthcare industries and the work of people in the sector.

The activities in the resources cover areas that include:
* Determination of the...

This new curriculum resource from CensusAtSchool is presented at two levels of difficulty. This idea is relatively current as it links with the 'Da Vinci code' and the theory of the Vitruvian man as put forward by Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519).

Produced by the Gender Equality and Race Inclusion (GERI) project, this teacher guidance and classroom activities outline a process that encourages young people to explore, in a comprehensive and constructive way, those jobs usually done by members of the opposite sex.
