This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The use of relative atomic masses in determining the masses of reactants and products.
* The manufacture, properties and uses of fertilizers.
* Soil...

This rich task from Cre8ate introduces students to a Latin Square, where each row and each column has all the variables once and only once. Students may be aware of Sudoku puzzles which are based on this scenario. They are challenged to find 12 different designs which...

One of a series of resources from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) investigating key topics in plant biology. An enjoyable and thought-provoking introduction to the topic of sexual reproduction in plants. Students observe in real time the growth of a pollen tube, over the course of a lesson. When a pollen...

This activity encourages children to consider how bones grow as we grow. Working in groups, children measure the height, distance around the skull, length of a foot and length of a lower arm for each person in order to investigate whether taller people have longer bones...

This animation shows the processes of growth in plants at the cellular level. It demonstrates how growth occurs at specific regions within the plant, how cells divide by mitosis, and how cells become specialised into different tissues...

Guess Zoo is fun animal guessing game, produced by ARKive, that can be used to introduce or support several lesson themes, for example species diversity, adaptations, habitats and classification. Using a set of species cards, students have to work out what the animal on a card is by asking each other questions...

A simple and easily adaptable idea to introduce how algorithms work by allowing students to work out algorithms by a guessing game without the use of a computer. The activity is based on function machines that are used in mathematics at primary school but the level of difficulty can be amplified depending on what...

These materials, from the National Strategies, have been written to support a mathematics teacher in a mainstream classroom working with one or a number of students that are working at or below level three.

Students working at level three and below can access relatively sophisticated concepts and make links...

This paper, produced by the National Strategies, provides guidance on the teaching and learning of mental and written calculation. This is reinforced by the overall aim that when students leave primary school they:

• have a secure knowledge of number facts and a good understanding of the four operations;...

This paper, produced by the National Strategies, provides guidance, with examples, on how to strengthen children’s oral and mental skills. It includes vocabulary and a guide to use when identifying the purposes of oral and mental work.

At the time the National Numeracy Strategy was introduced, there was...

This report from Ofsted is based on evidence gathered during a rapid response survey. Inspectors visited 45 secondary schools in February 2010 to look at their science curriculum provision at Key Stage Four and to find out how students at the end of Key Stage Three and Key Stage Four were guided towards specific...

This paper, produced by the National Strategies, provides guidance on how the using and applying mathematics strand of the 2004 Strategy’s revised Framework is structured and how it might be embedded in the primary mathematics curriculum.

One of the aims of the renewed Primary Framework is to give greater...

This guidance paper, produced by the National Strategies, provides guidance on how calculators can be used effectively as a teaching and learning tool with children in all age groups starting from the foundation stage.

The revised 2004 Framework for mathematics includes objectives that promote the use of...

The Guide to the guides provided an opportunity to take a brief look backward at the work of the writing team and the trial areas of the Nuffield Mathematics Project (age range 5 to 13), and also forward to possibilities for the future. This guide is in two sections, each with its own introduction. Section...

This document provides STEM Ambassador requestors with clear guidelines as to their responsibilities when using the STEM Ambassadors programme. Anyone requesting support from STEM Ambassadors should ensure that they have read and comply with these guidelines.
