This activity has been designed to help pupils understand the effects of water pressure on animals that live in the deep sea.

To complete the activity, pupils simply need to put a mini marshmallow into a plastic syringe and cover the tip with their finger. Air pressure inside can be decreased by pulling the...

This Problem Solving with Industry module was devised by the Centre for Science Education in collaboration with local health promotion groups. In this module the problem is to design an effective campaign or a piece of...

This activity suitable for primary children looks at what plants need to grow and the structure and function of plants. Children grow an Amaryllis plant and observe what happens over time. A number of activities linked to mathematics may then be carried out, including measuring, drawing graphs, considering symmetry...
