This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy.
* The construction and operation of electrochemical cells.
* The conversion of electrical energy to...
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Solar cells use light from the Sun to generate electricity, and it is now quite common to see solar-powered consumer devices. What has held...
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 is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on the use of fruit to power a light emitting diode (LED).
Did you know that fruit...
These activities from the BEST project (age 11 to 14) can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic questions probe pupils' ability:
- to identify magnets and magnetic materials
- describe rules of attraction and repulsion between magnets
- to identify situations in which a force is...
This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on producing a Newton’s cradle that uses magnets instead of the usual metal spheres.
...This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at how scientists plan to measure the Earth's magnetic field from space, why one researcher is in the frozen town of Churchill in northern Canada, and how the Chernobyl disaster still affects Northern...
Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B unit called ‘Magnetism and electricity’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included eight worksheets to supplement...
The Supporting Physics Teaching initiative from the Institute of Physics is intended to support specialist and non-specialist teachers who teach 11-16 physics.
Each topic contains a physics narrative, teaching and learning issues and teaching approaches:
• The physics narrative explains the physics of...
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, this is an activity that provides an opportunity for students to use basic knowledge of magnetic fields to explore how magnets can be used to create motion. The activity involves hands-on learning in the form of constructing an electric motor out of magnets,...
This APU report for teachers focuses on the performance of students aged 15 in a range of test questions concerning electricity. It presents the findings in a sequence in which it suggests that different activities are generally encountered by students. An...
These activities from the BEST project can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic question probes pupils' understanding of complete circuits.
These activities from the BEST project can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic questions probe pupils' understanding of circuit diagrams and symbols. The response activities help to develop pupils' understanding of both building circuits from diagrams and drawing circuits they have built and are designed to...
A Year Ten module from the Salters double award science course. Models are used to illustrate conservation of current in a series circuit leading to studies of voltage, current and resistance and the resistance law. Devices which have different resistance in response to...
