This series of science experiments from the National STEM Learning Centre and Network are presented as Christmas table demonstrations, using household equipment, but are also suitable for use in the classroom at both primary and secondary level to illustrate a range of scientific concepts.

These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to develop ideas relating to paper chromatography as a method for separating mixtures.

Chromatography is one of the titles in the series of ASE Lab Books that were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title covered one or two topics and brought together the best of the teaching notes and experimental...

The Citizen Science project was a collaboration between @Bristol's Education team, the University of Bristol, teachers and scientists. Funded by the Wellcome Trust, a series of activities engage both teachers and students in discussions about biomedical science.

This collection contains a range of teacher...

Citizenship is now a foundation subject for Key Stage Three and Key Stage Four in England. These resources, from the Association for Science Education (ASE) look at the links between science, politics and business through the context of ozone depletion. An additional resource has since been produced to add to those...

The videos in this collection from teachers TV are aimed at secondary school science practitioners. They contain materials that can be used in the classroom, as stimulus material.

Clips in this section cover a wide range of topics, including:
* astronomy, space and the solar system
* Earth...

Classroom Space was developed by the University of Leicester with a grant from the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC). It was designed to use the context of space science and astronomy to teach science in the secondary school curriculum. The resources are: * Water on Mars? * Weathering on the...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), in these activities, students investigate the cleaning power of washing agents and through a series of investigations that include:

* Which washing agent works best at low temperatures?
* Which washing agent produces the most foam?...

This activity sheet is based on the Inventive Podcast.  It introduces a Chemical engineer, Askwar Hilonga, and links his work to a chemistry topic. The activity sheet also supports Careers Benchmark 4: Careers in the curriculum by introducing a career and role model. There are also links to short audio clips of the...

Produced by Teachers TV, this richly illustrated video uses animation and natural history footage to provide an introduction to the topic of climate change to secondary school students. The concepts covered include: • the greenhouse effect • naturally occurring greenhouse gases • natural variations in climate •...

Climate Futures, from the Centre for Science Education and the Comino Foundation, is a contemporary curriculum resource that focuses on unraveling the complexity of climate change and environmental issues for lower secondary and upper primary students (10-14 years old...

This activity sheet is based on the Inventive Podcast.  It introduces two engineers involved in the development of hydrogen as a fuel, and links their work to chemistry and physics topic. The activity sheet also supports Careers Benchmark 4: Careers in the curriculum by introducing a career and role model. There...

This main unit in the Ideas and Evidence pack from the Pupil Researcher Initiative shows that scientists do not always have the answer. Understanding how the environment works can be very complicated, as there are so many factors involved. A good example of this is global warming where not everyone is certain that...
