This Catalyst article looks at how an internal biological clock within every cell of the human body helps to co-ordinate and organise human behaviour and metabolism into approximately 24-hour rhythms – allowing organisms to synchronise with, and anticipate, day and night. When the body clock is disrupted in humans...

From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to learn about electrical circuits in a fun and engaging manner. A variety of electrical circuits are used to make a clown with a nose that lights up and a bow tie that spins. Children use a range of...

This simulation allows students to build circuits with capacitors, inductors, resistors and AC or DC voltage sources, and investigate current and voltage.

Sample Learning Objectives include: *Build circuits from circuit diagrams. *Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits. *Discuss basic...

Explore how electricity flows and the effect of conductors and insulators in this whole class activity. Using balloons and a range of everyday objects children role-play parts of a circuit including: batteries, light bulbs, connecting wires, conductors and insulators.

Aimed at primary level, this activity...

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...

This activity gives pupils the opportunity to learn about how electrical circuits work and explore how to draw and create these. They will use the knowledge they acquire through the first activities to design and create an electrical game. This resource is part of a series of STEAM resources produced by Rolls Royce...
