The object of this resource, produced by ESA and ESO, is to present various small projects that will pass on some of the excitement and satisfaction in scientific discovery, to students. Using elementary geometrical and physical considerations, students will be able to derive answers that are comparable with the...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit explored the topic of electricity and matter. It sought to develop basic ideas about current, potential difference, and charge, and to show some of the electrical properties of materials. These ideas were then used to understand...

This Nuffield Advanced Physics Unit provides some of the key ideas for one of the major theme of the course which is the attempt to explain large-scale things in terms of small-scale things. The Unit draws together ideas about electric charge and fields from Unit 3 into...

The materials in this resource are from the Secondary National Strategy ‘Progressing to Level 6 and beyond in science’ project. They were intended for science teachers who are focusing on using models (both physical and abstract) to teach and challenge students...

This resource provides a set of videos and a practical investigation aimed at supporting working scientifically in the classroom and relating science to real world experiences. In the first video Professor Brian Cox joins a teacher to find out how to set up and run an investigation to find out what affects the size...
