This resource contains lists of vocabulary, loop cards and word mats to help develop an understanding of key scientific words at primary level.
The twelve vocabulary lists cover the topics of: materials and their...
This resource aimed at primary learners, links to electricity, design and technology and aspects of literacy. Children learn about motors and how many objects use electricity to improve their usefulness. Looking at a variety of objects they compare their features and then take on the role of an entrepreneur and...
This activity allows pupils to explore the principles of wind turbine movement, apply them and work in teams to plan and build a miniature wind turbine. Turbine performance is also evaluated after testing.
The activities introduce the notion of unequal access to reliable electricity in the world and the...
Published by the Royal Academy of Engineering, this activity sheet looks at electricity and its distribution in the 21st century. Most UK households consume large amounts of energy. As more renewable sources of energy are used and the use of fossil fuels is reduced, it is important to ensure that electricity is...
A reader from the Science in Society series which looks at society's use of electricity and considers nuclear power. The book then discusses alternative sources of energy and the risks that were envisaged in the 1980s.
...This resource supports the electricity requirement of the Year 6 national curriculum supporting pupils to associate the brightness of a lamp with the number and voltage of cells in a circuit, to use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram and to design and make a lighting circuit for a...
This booklet, produced by Dr. Lucie Green, from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, and funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), contains four simple activities to enrich the teaching of solar system science. The activities are: Keeping Safe in the Sun – learning about UV and sun cream; Sun...
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- Predict when there will be a magnetic field around a wire.
- Describe factors that change the strength of a magnetic field around a wire.
- Describe the magnetic...
This topic, from the Institute of Physics, on particle acceleration and detection is useful as it illustrates many aspects of physics which students are likely to have studied. Students apply their knowledge of the motion of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields to particle accelerators and detectors....
This video explains that to compute the prime factors in a 2048 number would take a classical computer years, yet the ability of a quantum computer to use superposition, which reduces the number of steps to complete a computation, makes it possible in minutes.
The explanation
The...
The Nuffield Pathways Through Science course was developed to align with the very innovative and successful modular science course created by the Northern Examining and Assessment Board (NEAB now merged into AQA). There were five physics modules:
- Energy Resources – exploring the issues arising from the...
Aimed at older primary level, these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context and provide many opportunities for working scientifically. They link to work on forces aiming to extend understanding to the application of forces used in sorting and recycling materials. Children investigate...
In this lesson, students will investigate some of the meteorites and associated rocks in the loan box. They will test them for magnetism, do a visual analysis and measure their mass to calculate the densities of their items. This activity is particularly geared towards getting students to estimate the volume of the...
In this activity students assemble a simple electric motor from everyday items. This develops understanding of how electric motors function and how magnetism can be used in practical applications.
This activity sheet was developed by the IET with the support and participation of the...
Produced by Becta, this document contains examples which highlight ways in which ICT resources may be used effectively to support children's learning within secondary science.
The examples include:
- Sound and waves
- Forces and moments
- Disease and mortality
- Digestion and...
