EAT asks us to explore human food habits. How do we give more people access to affordable, healthy food? What can we do to ensure that our food production is sustainable, and that we aren't wasting or polluting the planet with too much packaging? Can a design idea encourage people to make better food choices?

In the teaching unit ‘...

Aimed at primary learners, this resource aims to develop an understanding of seed dispersal and the adaptation of bird beaks related to food choice. It is designed for use when visiting a wildlife area and links to the topic areas of plant life-cycles and interdependence and adaptation.

The materials,...

Aimed at primary level, this resource aims to help children recognise the differences between plants. Linked to the topics of plants and all living things and their habitats, it is designed for use when visiting a wildlife area. Activities also help to develop measuring and data handling skills. Teacher guidance on...

This Nuffield Primary Science Teachers’ Guide for teaching the Electricity and Magnetism topic, to students aged 5-7, is divided into three chapters:

*Chapter 1: Planning - showing how to use the resources to plan a...

This Nuffield Primary Science Teachers’ Guide for teaching the topic Electricity and Magnetism to 7-12 year-olds is divided into five chapters:

*Chapter 1: Introduction - covering useful strategies, the SPACE approach and links to the National Curriculum

*Chapter 2: Planning - using the resources to...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about electricity at A level. Curriculum links include charge, electron drift, energy, power and resistance, circuit symbols, electromotive force (e.m.f.) and potential difference (p.d.), Ohm's law, resistivity, series and...

This Powerpoint presentation from the May 2016 Research Conference looks at the issues facing teachers in using evaluation in their CPD activities and illustrates how to do this more effectively.

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about energetics at A level. Curriculum links include enthalpy changes, bond enthalpy, enthalpy cycles, practical, Hess's Law, calculations,...

This is one of a series of extended units. from the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association, to provide in-depth coverage of a topic or an area of the curriculum. This unit was developed by the Centre for Sustainable Energy, which aimed to promote constructive energy education in...

This series of activities, from the Institute of Physics, explores ideas about electricity applied to circuits that have real applications. Each learning episode is self-contained and tackles a particular topic. In this series the topics are:

Episode 114: Components in...

This series of activities, from the Institute of Physics, explores electromotive force (emf), internal resistance, voltage, current and charge. They link with a general discussion of energy transfers within electric circuits, involving energy transfer from a chemical battery to electrical work. Each learning...

This learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, helps students understand how capacitors charge and the concept of capacitance. Students investigate the relationship between charge and potential difference across a capacitor.

From the Institute of Physics, this learning episode looks at energy stored in capacitors and springs as well as the comparison between radioactive decay and a capacitor's discharge. It allows students to explore the concepts of energy storage and exponential decrease...
