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 11 worksheets to supplement the students’...

In this lesson students learn that food is eaten and digested in the body to allow the absorption of energy and nutrients and there are two types of nutrients - macronutrients and micronutrients.

They explore the three types of carbohydrates: monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides, intrinsic...

This resource contains six activities that link to Forces and Magnets, they are designed for use with mixed age groups classes of Year 3 and 4. Activities include:

• exploring the ways forces act on a range of every day objects, including toy cars on different surfaces – comparing movement of vehicles...

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

This collection includes research information, reports and guidance. It will be of interest to managers and practitioners in schools who are concerned with the delivery of STEM careers awareness.

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

• Describe weight as the force needed to support an object or substance.    
• Describe mass as a measure of the amount of matter in an object or substance.  
• Explain the...

In this simulation students can hang masses from springs, adjust the spring stiffness and damping, and even slow time. The lab can be transported to different planets and there is a chart which shows the kinetic, potential, and thermal energy for each spring.

This resource from the Nuffield Foundation provides a set of 24 cards which students use to match graphs with descriptions of the real situations they represent. The slideshow includes the same graphs with added titles and labels. This can be used in a class discussion about the shapes of the graphs, the variables...

In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students design an outfit that could be worn whilst participating in a sport. With a strong emphasis on developing creative thinking when generating ideas, the activity requires students to...

This Nuffield Advanced Mathematics option consisted of two units of work on different themes. A likely model for coursework was that students would develop an aspect of interest from one of the themes into a longer project.

This collection contains six videos, each about three minutes in length. Each video covers a different aspect of estimation set in differing contexts. Each video is accompanied by a lesson plan and a worksheet containing questions of differing difficulty associated with the mathematical topics encountered in the...

This series of  write-in workbooks is an invaluable resource to help learners improve their maths and English skills and prepare for level 1 and level 2 functional skills exams. The workbook...
