This video explains how atoms are the fundamental building blocks of all matter and that they are made from sub-atomic particles (proton, neutron and electron). The simple structure of a hydrogen atom is made from plasticine. The video explains how adding a neutron to the hydrogen atom does not change its...

This paper recommends that more in-depth analysis of existing data, of interventions and their impact, is necessary before it can reliably be concluded that further action is necessary to improve stretch and progression in science post-16. 

Much of this video shows how many people do not understand how the seasons are caused.  There is a small section at the end that attempts to clarify the cause.  

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to:
•    develop knowledge and understanding of structural defence mechanisms in plants
•    develop problem solving skills
•    demonstrate the processing of information and use of calculations

The...

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, looks at what information we can gather by viewing (but not visiting) different parts of the universe.
