An interesting investigation to see what factors can affect the moment of inertia of a flywheel.  This is good to discuss errors in measurements (such as counting rotations) and would be good to develop improvements.

This resource has been provided by Keith Gibbs.

This series of interactive excel sheets investigate models involving moments.

The first sheet helps students to investigate the moment of a force about a point. The components of the force can also be revealed.

Produced by LSIS, this short activity can be used to monitor and assess understanding of moments. It can also be used as an extension or reinforcement activity at the end of a topic on moments or as a revision activity. It is a useful way to check students’ familiarity with, and use of, the spoken and written...

This collection of Level 1 resources from Nuffield Mathematics covers Money management. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Foundation Level GCSE and Level 1 Functional Mathematics.

This Catalyst article looks at how the laying of telegraph cables across the ocean bed led to the science of oceanography. Over two thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in sea which can reach depths of 11 000 metres. The article looks at the challenge of laying cables in this environment and the history of the...

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the mechanical and electrical engineering power industry. Here students learn how statistical models are used to set alarms which detect changes in vibration above normal values. The alarms highlight that...

This article focuses on how monitoring the movement of tectonic by satellites is allowing scientists to monitor the build-up...

On July 20, 1969, the astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon. From NASA, these images illustrate the story behind "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Truly a milestone moment in space exploration.

The Moon Camp Challenge is an educational and inspirational project run by ESA and Airbus Foundation, in partnership with Autodesk. These supporting classroom activities focus on learning-by-design and science experimentation. Students will develop a number of scientific experiments related to the Moon and apply...

These secondary level resources support the Moon Camp Challenge.

Produced by More Maths Grads, these bright posters are intended for use in schools to illustrate the range of opportunities that mathematics can open. These include the aerospace industry, architecture, navigation technologies, biological sciences, music and sport.

This Core Maths task involves the analysis of mortgage repayments and requires the calculation of percentages and the use of a spreadsheet.

A help sheet is included in the materials for students who are not confident with spreadsheets.

The Most Useful Science was published in 1988 by Northern Foods with the help of a group of school teachers and college lecturers. The booklet was designed to give post-16 students some insight into the importance of chemical and biological sciences to the future of the food industry. The ambition of Northern Foods...

DfE Standards Unit: Improving Learning in Mathematics activities to support the learning of algebra. The 'Active Learning' session plans include starting points, descriptions of the processes and photocopiable resources.
