This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module began with the study sound waves and vibrations including how the ear works and the properties of ultrasound. This led on to activities related to how sound vibrations are captured, recorded, and produced. The final group of...

Powered by Crumble, Control freak resources are all about engagement, enjoyment and learning at the same time. S...

This is one of a series of focused units, from the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association, to introduce students to important technologies and their applications. This unit features control systems and their applications to...

A Year 11 module from the Salters Key Stage Four double award science course. This module introduces ideas about how living organisms control their internal environment and respond to changes in their external environment. Students are reminded that few living things...

One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. Children investigate the movement of vehicles, from those they may have made, to commercial toys; from push along toys to remote controlled toys and a computer-controlled floor robot. The control of the floor robot will be the...

These activities, produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), are based on a BASF chemical plant at Seal Sands, Middlesbrough. They enable students to see how and why chemical reactions are controlled in a chemical plant. The materials contain full teacher guidance, student notes and...

Controlling Motion uses Cornerstone Maths' dynamic interactive web-based environment to give secondary students an introduction to the 'hard to teach' concept of linear functions....

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe how the properties of particles in a gas change as the gas is heated.
• Describe convection currents in liquids and gases.  
• Explain what happens to the density of...

This video demonstrates a convection experiment for GCSE Physics using potassium permanganate in water with a Bunsen burner.

This activity aims to stimulate discussion on the question of whether computers can exhibit ’intelligence’, or are ever likely to do so in the future. Based on a pioneering computer scientist’s view of how one might recognize artificial intelligence if it ever appeared, it conveys something of what is currently...

This excel file starts with a series of five sheets which show conversion graphs involving metric and imperial measures for height and weight and graphs for money conversions. The two money conversions allow the exchange rate to be altered. Units used include stones, kg...

Practice in converting between different metric units of length, using exercises on a worksheet, a bingo game and a dominoes game. 

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

The enzyme lactase is widely used in the dairy industry to convert the naturally occurring disaccharide sugar lactose into glucose and galactose. In this practical students investigate the treatment of milk with lactase. Following treatment they test the glucose content of the converted milk, and compare products...

A Catalyst article looking at the use of gas and electric for cooking. The article focuses on the latest hobs which use radiant, halogen or induction electric heating, to see if they can compete with gas.

This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2004, Volume 14, Issue 3.
