This pack of Nuffield Physics activity sheets was designed to match the National Curriculum Science: Physics at Key stage Four from 1996. The ideas were drawn from materials produced by various Nuffield projects over the previous ten years. The pack includes student sheets for 97 different activities.

The Topic books in the Nuffield Secondary Mathematics scheme were number, space, time, measurement, logic and algebra, probability and statistics.

In each topic area, a carefully planned sequence of books enabled a...

This is a concept development lesson that is designed to assess how well students understand:

• When conditional probabilities are equal for particular situations
• Representing events as a subset of a sample space using tables and tree diagrams
• Modelling using algebra

This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at how the Romans recycled glass, dinosaur colour, and what Europe's gravity mission tells us about ocean currents. The height of the world's oceans can vary by as much as 200 metres. 

These huge...

These resources were developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in collaboration with five universities involved in initial teacher education, as part of a Key Stage 3 National Strategy project. Originally produced as a CD-ROM, the materials aimed to provide suggestions and activities for teaching about...

In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students read about a Wi-Fi system (often called WLAN — wireless local area network) and produce a diagram to show how the ‘wireless’ part is, by necessity, short-range. Mostly, the signal is...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to Wi-Fi, its properties and capabilities, using a real-life scenario as the context.

Body centric communications have...

This unit from the National Strategies is a sequel to the Year Eight multiplicative relationships unit. It provides an opportunity to revise, consolidate and extend ideas introduced in Year Eight and to make links to other mathematical strands, particularly shape and space. Making such links, especially with visual...

These resources offer a series of activities to use alongside the six books which have been shortlisted for the Young People’s Book Prize 2021.The activities include investigations and experiments related to various topics, such as plants, biodiversity and the environment, inventions and inventors, space and the...

This lesson develops the concept of finding areas of sectors. In particular students will:

• Find perimeters, areas, and arc lengths of sectors using formulas
• Find the relationships between arc lengths, and areas of sectors after scaling
• Using radians

The initial challenge...

A series of wheels are shown that are in perfect ‘non-slip’ contact with their neighbours and driven by a first wheel. The diameter of each wheel is given. The final wheel has letters evenly...

This resource from SMILE consists of sets of question cards, which are differentiated by level, and include answers which can be photocopied onto the back of the card. They are best used for group work to promote discussion and collaborative learning. Different models...
