It has recently come to light that major car manufacturers have fitted software to diesel cars to cheat exhaust emissions tests. In this activity students use their knowledge of chemical reactions to predict the products of combustion in a diesel engine. They then develop their communication skills through the...

Linked to Farmvention, produced by the National Farmers Union (NFU), this resource provides a series of four activities based around teaching of simple machines, including: forces, levers, gears and pulleys. Designed to help children to think about the day to day issues faced by farmers, each resource has been...

This lecture from the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings outlines the development of the field of quantum mechanics. The lecture describes the work of Planck, Einstein and Bohr and includes the idea of wave-particle duality, the photoelectric effect to Bohr's model of atomic structure. The lecture's emphasis is on the...

All data on computers is stored and transmitted using the binary number system. When the binary digits need to be sent over the phone lines (which often happens in home internet connections), the digits are converted to sound...

This Nuffield Primary Science book is for use with the Living Processes topic. It consists of 11 colourful, and highly illustrated, double-page spreads aimed at students aged 9-12. The book ends with a glossary and index.
