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

• Use observations to determine whether a substance is in solution.

• Recognise that a compound has properties (including solubility) that are distinct from its...

In these activities, pupils are introduced to the idea of controlled or uncontrolled re-entry for satellites. They are challenged to devise a way of reducing space debris by designing alterations to satellites so that they bring themselves back to Earth. In the first activity, the students pretend to be satellites...

A Catalyst article examining what causes breaking waves to leave foam on the beaches. The article explores the human impact on the environment and the changes in the growth of algae in the seas.

This article is from Catalyst: GCSE Science Review 2005, Volume 16, Issue 1.

This unit of work enables students to understand the risks, costs and potential benefits in the commercial exploration of space; and why decisions about scientific and engineering solutions need to take account of expert opinions from a broad range of disciplines.  Initially students work...

Have you read the examiner reports from the Awarding Organisations who assess your students recently? If not, visit their website and download the most recent report to find out which aspects of science were most commonly misunderstood or confused during the examinations.

This resource from National...

This teaching guide provides a range of ideas and resources for teaching about communicable disease and the immune system at A level. Curriculum links include pathogen, bacteria, virus, fungus, protoctista, transmission, immunity, antibodies, autoimmune diseases, vaccination and antibiotics.

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. Exercises on codes and signalling methods introduce ideas about communication. A study of the ear leads to sound communication systems such as radio and telephones. Lenses are studied and the formation of...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the necessity of developing standards and protocols for communication.

It is intended that students will be able to:...

The ability to communicate ideas clearly is a very important skill for a mathematician to have.

Learning outcomes

• Students could be able to construct and interpret an appropriate graph table, chart or diagram from given data; will have clearly explained what their data...

To understand how everyday devices like mobile phones, routers and satellites work, we need to understand what radio waves are and how we can transmit information with them. Radio communication is one of the key elements in our CanSat. All the data needed for our scientific experiment will be sent from the CanSat...

The Science in a Topic students’ book Communication introduces students to a range of forms of communication used now and in the past. It covers words, sound, visual arts, signs and signals, the use of electricity and electronic devices. There are models for students to make of which some are quite advanced and use...

These materials support teachers, careers and personal advisers who are working together to broaden knowledge of STEM opportunities amongst students and parents. Resources include posters and support materials for practitioners. Teachers may also find the following eLibrary collections useful:

This activity, fom the Insttitution of Engineering and Technology (IET, allows students to look at a series of simple scenarios with a comment on the ‘rightness’ or ‘wrongness’ of the use of the technology. This is an introduction to ethical decision-making, as they are...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to look at some past events where better communications would have given a better outcome and to think about future development.
