Celebrating a Century of Primary Science, published by the ASE in 2001, was written as part of the celebration of the centenary of the ASE, although the ASE became active in encouraging primary science only half-way through the century. The book, of 132 pages, in a collection of personal accounts written by those...

This edition of the Computing at School newsletter, focused on the life and work of Alan Turing, contains articles covering:

*The life of Alan Turing

*Guide to Bletchley Park

*The early history of the Raspberry Pi

*GameMaker

*The Microsoft .NET Gadgeteer prototyping board

*...

Produced with the theme of celebration in mind, learn how to engineer a crown, your own set of bunting or even a teacup. Try your hand at baking or decorating, or even have a go at some themed maths challenges. Suitable for any occasion, whether a jubilee, a birthday or a charity event at school, use these...

Celestia is a spaceflight simulator that allows you to explore real astronomical data as you fly through space. The majority of content is related to our Solar System.

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, acts as a basic guide and explores the potential of the program with a sample Key Stage...

The lesson is guided by a presentation which introduces the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) and describes the application of stem cells in the treatment of disease. Students work in groups to compare images of healthy and MS nerve cells before planning and carrying out a model drug testing investigation.

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

• Recall that most (but not all) cells are too small to be seen without a microscope.

• Apply the idea that cells have a three-dimensional shape.

• Link...

Produced in 2014, this resource looks at cell signalling when the hormone adrenaline binds to receptors on the surface of the target cell. The resource sheets describe how the original hormonal signal is amplified through a cascade reaction.

The resources in this collection cover teaching about cells for students aged 11-16.  They were produced to enrich a visit to the Intech Science Centre, but can be used independently of a visit.

Cell! Cell! Cell! is the story of the trillions of cells that form our bodies, from our beginnings as a...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about cell division, cell diversity and cellular organisation at A level.  Topics covered include: cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, tissues, organs, differentiation and stem cells.

Although produced to support the teaching...

This teaching guide provides a range of ideas and resources for teaching about cell structure at A level. Curriculum links include cells, microscopy, organelles, cytoskeleton, prokaryote and eukaryote cells.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS and A Level Biology A specifications (H020 and ...

The Cells sub-collection is made up of pedagogical guidance and classroom materials for use with students. All materials were published by the Key Stage Three Strategy and the Secondary Strategy between 2002 and 2003.

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

• Explain what is meant by movement, growth, nutrition, excretion, respiration, reproduction and sensitivity (the characteristic processes of living organisms).

• Explain...

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

• Use a light microscope to make and record observations of cells from a range of tissues and organisms.

• Apply the idea that organisms are made up of one or more cells...
