Breaking the Mould? was commissioned by the Nuffield Foundation with the aim of evaluating the teaching and learning of the AS course in Science for Public Understanding, giving insight into other 'new' science courses.

Breakthrough was a termly resource for teachers published between 1999 and 2001. Each edition highlighted a number of discoveries and inventions and the people who made them. This edition was published in September 2000.

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help students understand asthma, its diagnosis and treatment.

Through role play, practical work and demonstrations, students investigate lung structure and function, peak flow and breathing, and look at the medicines used in...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the unit called ‘Energy’. This B unit provided enough material for six double periods in the third year of secondary school (year nine). The teachers’ guide included eight worksheets to supplement the students’...

The core of this Nuffield Working with Science unit is made up of sections covering the preparation and testing of beer, the science of brewing, and the effects of alcohol consumption.

Guidance for teachers and...

These experiments are designed to support teachers of upper primary level pupils to carry out experimental science in the classroom, and relate it to real world experiences. Creative and experimental approaches are particularly important for keeping pupils interested and engaged in science, and for equipping them...

Following on from the first series of the Brian Cox schools experiments for primary, the Royal Society has produced a new set of videos and resources, presented by Professor Brian Cox and Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock, based around new and emerging...

Students are presented with increasingly challenging algebra problems to solve. Each wall consist of three bricks in the lower row, two bricks in the middle row and one brick on the top row. Students complete the wall by adding two algebraic terms to find the term which sits in the brick above. However, in most...

The BrickPi is an add-on board for the Raspberry Pi. It is used to interface with Lego Mindstorms sensors and motors to create robots and other projects. This small collection includes practical tips to get started.

This activity from Cre8ate maths investigates the lines of horizontal and vertical weakness in walls. Initially students are shown four walls and have to identify the lines of weakness in them, before finding the smallest rectangular solution which has no lines of...

In this activity children are challenged to build a bridge 50cm wide to support the weight of a food tin. They must do this using only drinking straws, tape and string. First they investigate different shapes to find out which will be better at absorbing load. They then design and create their bridges and test them...
