Produced by LSIS, this short activity can be used to monitor and assess understanding of moments. It can also be used as an extension or reinforcement activity at the end of a topic on moments or as a revision activity. It is a useful way to check students’ familiarity with, and use of, the spoken and written...

This booklet examines the development of engineering expertise and makes recommendations on ways to harness, encourage, facilitate and reward it. Covering all Key Stages from Foundation Stage to post-16 and higher education, the booklet states the case for design and technology in schools to encourage an...

From the Institute of Physics, this topic builds up an understanding of the conditions needed for an object to be in equilibrium. The first episode develops ideas about vector and scalar quantities; these are equally relevant to quantities other than forces. The learning episodes in this topic include:

...

From the Wellcome Trust, these animations show the life cycle of the malaria parasite. They illustrate how the parasite develops in the mosquito before being transmitted to a human host following a blood meal.

The...

This resource has been created for mixed age classes of early years and lower primary children. Supporting learning about number, place value and addition, the detailed weekly plans contain differentiated activities for the different year groups, guided tasks and the resources required for each lesson. Objectives...

The Nuffield Secondary Mathematics core books, provided stimulating investigative tasks for all students in any one year group. In their core work, students were expected to develop skills and use and apply the mathematics which they have learned in their topic work....

In this section you can see teachers and trainers using a range of questioning techniques.

Introduction
Teachers and trainers ask questions for a variety of purposes. Questions can be used to keep learners engaged during an explanation, to assess their understanding, to deepen their thinking or focus...

This resource aimed at lower primary children, supports learning about number, place value and addition. The two detailed weekly plans contain differentiated activities, guided and independent tasks and the resources required for each lesson. Objectives covered in the lessons include:

Week One ...

This resource from Hamilton Trust contains two weekly plans, teaching sequences and classroom resources. They cover place value, ordering numbers, measures and handling data. The detailed teaching sequences include differentiated activity ideas, suggested resources and notes on progression and misconceptions in the...

Produced by Solar Spark, this simple activity helps to answer the simple, yet complex question: Why is the sky blue and the sunset red? It's all to do with light scattering and the Tyndall Effect and can be easily demonstrated using a suspension of milk in water.

Milk particles suspended in the water cause...

MEI Online resources for FP1 provide a selection of materials for the modulus-argument form of complex numbers. These include thorough notes, a study plan, additional exercises, a multiple choice test and an extension piece of work.

This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...

This collection of materials from the National Strategies brings together those elements which are primarily concerned with supporting teachers in the development of assessment techniques and understanding of the evidence students should provide, whether it is an objective or a level.

APP assessment...

This set of materials, from the Primary National Strategy, arose through the renewal of the Primary Framework for mathematics. The renewal provided an opportunity to take a fresh look at the overall structure of the primary curriculum for mathematics.

This resulted in a reorganisation of the objectives, now...

This collection provides 4 units of work linked to Design and Technology, which explore the need for exploration robots, how they work, how their systems collect data and an understanding of the specialised materials and mechanisms they use. All activities centre around the ExoMars Mission and the Rosalind Franklin...
