The properties of a transformer are investigated in this video, specifically how the number of turns on the coils affects the output. 

This video reviews how transistors work and introduces Moore’s law, i.e., the number of transistors fitted onto a chip increases exponentially with time. 

This means that the size of the transistor must reduce significantly.  However, as the buffer zone (prevents current flowing) between n-type...

This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at transits, eclipses and occultations. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in mathematics and physical science from age 11 to 19 years.

The problems were created to be authentic...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe the heating effect of current on a conducting wire.
• Predict changes to current through transmission lines using P = I x V. 
• Calculate power dissipated by a wire...

Produced by Practical Action, these materials contain ideas and support for students undertaking a CREST award. There are stimulus materials that help students look at an issue of sustainable development. These materials look at sustainable transport. In Nepal, the building of ropeways that allow people and farmers...

These technical briefs focus on ways to transport goods and people in a relatively low cost way. This is important to people in the...

A selection of images related to methods of transportation.

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about transport in animals at A level. Curriculum links include surface area to volume ratio, circulatory system, heart, blood vessles, cardiac cycle, oxygen dissociation curves, ECG,  and blood flow rates....

A set of ideas and resources for teaching about transpiration and transport in plants at A level, along with some common difficulties which students have on this topic in exams.

Activities include The weirdness of plants, which gives ideas for raising students’ curiosity about how plants live...

This animation allows students to view the key processes of plant transport in xylem and phloem. It is intended for both GCSE and A-level / post-16 biology teaching, and has sufficient detail and accuracy for both.

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of transportation planner, and STEM Ambassador, Dan Cornelius.

Dan's role is to assess road schemes and their impacts on local and regional areas. He develops graphic models of the situation and location. This allows him to manipulate elements, such...

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. The story-line for this unit is the whole world market for manufactured chemicals and the need to transport them safely to where they are needed. This shows the importance of systems which convey concise,...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The range of properties of chemicals.
* The use of symbols, formulas and balanced equations.
* The commercial importance of chemicals.
* Factors...

In this activity aimed at primary level, children investigate the types of transport used to send food around the world. Linked to work in geography on food miles, sustainability and improving the environment, children investigate how food is transported and the impact that this can have on the environment. They go...
