A National STEM Learning Centre and Network Engineering Case Studies resource investigating the design process involved in developing a paper cup for manufacture.

You wouldn't believe making a paper cup could be...

In this experiment, from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), students are required to make observations about wild oat seeds. Using a petri dish, glass jar, filter paper and water, students can recreate the conditions of a greenhouse. They can then observe the changes to direction of the awn (the long hair at...

This Grand Challenge set of resources focuses on atmospheric pollution and the production of zero emission vehicles. The Level 1 materials are ideal for 11-14 year old students and includes ways to study lichens as a pollution indicator and measure particulate pollution. It then moves on to allow students to...

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

• Understand that a force makes things change: the speed, direction and/or shape of an object.

• Explain changes caused by more than one force acting on an object at the...

In this activity students consider the questions:

• What are the main sources that cause severe water shortage in Europe?
• How different harmful elements (e.g. fertilizers, gasoline, sulphuric acid) pollute freshwater?
• What methods / strategies can be used to save water?
• What methods...

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

• Read values of speed or velocity off a speed-time or velocity-time graph, and interpret the meaning of a negative velocity.
• Describe the motion of an object from a velocity-time...

EURING promotes international collaboration on all aspects of scientific bird ringing, particularly in Europe and along the Eurasian African flyway. These sharable data sets can be used across the curriculum to develop data science skills.

This collection of short interviews with scientists introduces contemporary science topics through conversation with some of the UK's leading researchers. 

Each of the videos is accompanied with a teachers' summary, plus student questions and answers.

Box 3, the blue box of ASE’s SATIS 8-14 project, contained ten booklets with resources suggesting activities for teaching science and technology in Key Stage Three.

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

• Calculate the size and direction of the resultant force of two forces acting along the same straight line
• Describe how quickly the speed of an object can be changed if acted on by...

Learn about thermal insulators and changing state in this colourful comic aimed at Key Stage Two. Written to promote enquiry skills in a context, it focuses on planning and carrying out a fair test to investigate which materials are the best insulators.

Produced by More Maths Grads, these bright posters are intended for use in schools to illustrate the range of opportunities that mathematics can open. These include the aerospace industry, architecture, navigation technologies, biological sciences, music and sport.

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

• Describe the effect of the electrostatic force within an atomic nucleus.
• Interpret nuclear equations to describe the alpha decay of radioactive nuclei.
• Describe what...

In this exciting multimedia simulation activity, children work to bring a local measles epidemic under control. Children take on roles in an Outbreak Control Team as Science Advisors, Data Analysts, and Healthcare Workers and use their maths, science and research skills to analyse and fight the outbreak, and their...
