These resources were originally developed for post 16 applied science specifications, and include:

This is one of the six Background Books published for Stage I of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This is book describes applications of chemistry.

There are four parts to this book:
*Part 1: Salts from the sea
An account of...

This edition of the Computing at School newsletter contains articles covering:

*CAS community resources

*BCS Certificate in Computer Science Teaching

*Master Teachers

*Pedagogy in computing teaching and across the curriculum

*The Barefoot Computing project

*Computational...

This Catalyst article looks at the discovery of the Arctica Islandica, a mollusc which carries a record of past environments in the banding of its shell. In 2006, scientists collecting material from the seabed off the north coast of Iceland found some clam shells which remarkably were found to have come from...

This resource develops the concept of exploring the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. There is a particular focus on finding lines that are parallel and perpendicular by using their equations. The work extends into identifying and using intercepts.

Students are presented...

This lesson develops the concept of identifying when two quantities vary in direct proportion to each other. Students enhance their ability to:

• Distinguish between direct proportion and other functional relationships
• Solve proportionality problems using efficient methods

The...

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these investigations look at how pigments change during the fruit ripening process.

The green colour of the unripe fruit is due largely to the presence of...

In this activity students are asked to test the statement: “It is very likely that the Arctic has warmed at more than twice the global rate over the past 50 years”

Students are asked to use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate averages, maximum values and minimum values and draw line graphs. Students use a...

Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this activity enables students to investigate the effect of competitive and non-competitive inhibitors on the enzyme beta-galactosidase.

The chemical ONPG (o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside) is degraded by the enzyme beta-galactosidase. The product is...

This resource, aimed at Early Years, contains two sets of worksheets to help children develop skills relating to sequences and patterns. Children practice completing simple patterns / sequences by cutting out the different pictures at the top of the page and using them to complete the sequences.
