This short task considers reasoning with equations and inequalities. Students answer a series of six questions, including working with solution sets for pairs of inequalities, and sketching the solution set of a system of four inequalities. 

The resource comes with a detailed rubric for each question. 

From Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this practical activity was developed for Scottish Highers specifications, but the protocol can equally well be used for other specifications.

Electricity, Magnetism and Forces is one of the publication themes of the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme. 

Both electrical and magnetic phenomena have been known since ancient times, through the action of friction to produce static electricity and through the existence of naturally occurring magnetic...

This resource from SMILE mathematics contains a test question for each of the SMILE activity cards, and the Answers files have suggested answers for each test. The questions are meant to be straight forward and relatively quick to do. They could be used as a homework activity or as individual question cards for...

These guidance resources are provided by the British Science Association, with support from Intel Education. They give guidance that includes both attending a STEM fair and running an event. There are three sections:

This collection contains a number of resources dedicated to STEM competitions, awards and olympiads.

This is a problem solving lesson where students develop their understanding of the following areas:

• Solve simple problems involving ratio and direct proportion.
• Choose an appropriate sampling method.
• Collect discrete data and record them using a frequency table.
