The story of the Siemens brothers, and their involvement in the invention and development of innovative and groundbreaking technology, provides the stimulus for these resources designed for learners aged 5 to 11.

The collection includes two 'six for six' modules which provide ideas for a programme of study...

These posters from the National Physical Laboratory are ideal for the key stage two classroom and cover the seven SI base units.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B units called ‘Communities and populations’ and ‘Charged particles’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included four...

The student books and teacher books in the Keys to Chemistry series were written by Graham Hill and published in the 1970s. The series explained chemistry for students aged 11–16. Each student book was accompanied by a book for teachers. Book 1 covered the chemistry in an introductory secondary school course. Book...

Keys to Chemistry Book 1 was the basis for an introductory course of chemistry in secondary school. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

Contents

1. What is chemistry?
2. Separating mixtures
3. Action of...

Keys to Chemistry Book 2 continued from Book 1 and took the study of chemistry in secondary school up to thw now discontinued 'O' level standard. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

This video discusses the use of video to learn science.  It shows that to be most effective a misconception is introduced at the beginning. The more mental effort used the greater the effectiveness.

In this SATIS Revisited resource students look at the role of the kidney and treatment of kidney failure by dialysis and with transplants, and explore issues around the shortage of donor organs in the UK.

In 2010 the number of individuals requiring kidney transplants in the UK was approximately 8000 people....

This resource from Science upd8 revolves around the subject of kidney stones. Dehydration can cause excruciating pain from kidney stones. This activity stimulates discussion through a stunning image of a vicious-looking kidney stone. Students apply their knowledge of saturated solutions and crystallisation to find...

A Catalyst article discussing how the human body has to handle all sorts of variations, balancing its inputs and outputs, if it is to work efficiently. The article concentrates on one organ, the kidney, and the way it helps to keep things on an even keel through the functions of homeostasis and excretion. What...

This Catalyst article looks at kidneys and how they are vital organs so it is important to understand how genetic disorders may affect kidneys and develop treatments to overcome them.

This starter activity focuses on the link between water and health. It encourages students to think about the role of engineers in providing us with healthy water supplies and waste-water disposal systems by thinking about the different ways in which water can be...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about kinematics and dynamics at A level. Curriculum links include force, motion, kinematics, dynamics, speed, velocity, acceleration, displacement, suvat, free fall, projectile, trajectory, F=ma, free body diagram, drag,...

This video explains that moving objects have kinetic energy (E_k) and shows how E_k is proportional to both the mass and velocity of an object.

By combining the formulae F=ma and W=Fs to obtain W=mas and using v²=u² + 2as (assuming u²=0), E_k=...
