The video gives an amusing introduction to exoplanets. 

The student worksheet takes students through calculations on Doppler shift, orbits and Kepler's Third Law, estimating the mass of a planet using the conservation...

Countries charge for planes to fly through their airspace even if the plane does not land. Different countries levy different charges, therefore plane companies consider a number of different routes and calculate the associated charges with each route. The formula used to fly over Europe is considered and an...

This poster describes four people in four different companies who all work together to produce an innovative flood defence system. To manufacture the produce requires the collaboration of designers, engineers, materials...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand nets of 3D objects, calculating length and volume.

The task shows the net of a box used for a fruit box. The net includes flaps for joining the sides together. The first task is to calculate the volume of the box. There is an extension task in...

The first of two RISP activities, Venn Diagrams explores lines in co-odinate geometry and quadratic functions...

From Arkive, this presentation and activity are designed to teach students aged 11-14 about the concept of human impacts on the environment. The presentation explains how human impacts can directly affect species survival, using plastic waste as an example. The activities then encourage students to consider how the...

From Arkive, this presentation and activity are designed to teach students aged 14-16 about the concept of human impacts on the environment. The presentation explains how human impacts can directly affect species survival, using plastic waste as an example. The activities then encourage students to consider how the...

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service, these materials help to demonstrate effective practice. By New College Nottingham, this case study looks at the themes of progression through STEM and professional development.

The project was set up to provide opportunities for in-house professional...

This is one of a series of resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, exploring the theme of waterways.

In this activity pupils will learn what is meant by density and will conduct an experiment to find out if modelling clay...

If there is life elsewhere in our solar system it’s likely to live in a pretty cold environment. In this resource, students investigate the effect of antifreeze on the freezing point of water and how it can allow fragile cells to survive extreme cold. In the video, Judith Green explains how students can plan an...

If a bridge needs to cross a river without obstructing river traffic, it can be built with an opening section. Tower Bridge is a world famous example of a bascule bridge that can open when necessary.

Lesson Objectives

• The student could understand how hydraulic and pneumatic systems for...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand:

• Using the formula for the volume of a cone
• Converting between measurements

For this task, a tree trunk is thought of as being approximated by a cone. Students are given the formula for a cone, and the dimensions of a...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Mathematical diagrams covers: mileage charts, using flow charts to plan practical tasks, using flow charts for classification, networks and critical path analysis.

The...
