In this lesson, pupils learn about where meteorites come from, how they form and what the different classifications of meteorites are. Pupils then use this knowledge and ideas of classification to identify samples from the meteorite hunters box, and to find the real meteorites in their samples.

This is one of the 18 Background Books published for Stage II of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book describes applications of chemistry but includes some historical sections and covers some applications.

There are six parts to this...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA), new robotic rover Rosalind Franklin will explore Mars and send back data vital for human exploration in the future. This resource provides activities for different age ranges, which are:

4-5

In this activity, the children are introduced to robots...

This resource supports the learning of number, place value, decimals and Roman numerals for primary children from nine to ten years of age. Two detailed weekly plans contain differentiated activities, guided and independent tasks and a list of resources required for each lesson. Objectives covered in the lessons...

This set of materials, produced by the Key Stage Three National Strategy, was designed to support schools in organising revision and running booster classes prior to students taking the Key Stage Three National Curriculum tests.

The materials comprise:
1. Guidance on
*Planning for revision...

This resource from Hamilton Trust contains two weekly plans, teaching sequences and classroom resources. They cover place value, ordering three digit numbers, using addition and subtraction facts and doubling and halving. The detailed teaching sequences include differentiated activity ideas, suggested resources and...

This resource from Hamilton Trust contains two weekly plans, teaching sequences and classroom resources. They cover rounding and ordering three-digit numbers, multiplying by 100, using addition and subtraction facts and doubling and halving. The detailed teaching sequences include differentiated activity ideas,...

In this activity, students interpret graphs to identify trends and the people who are affected by this fuel poverty. Learning outcomes include:

*To understand that mathematics is used as a tool in a wide range of...

This ARKive activity is designed to teach key stage three students about the concept of adaptation. Using the marine environment as an example, students learn about how different animal species are adapted physically or behaviourally to survive in a particular type of habitat. Students research an allocated habitat...

This presentation guides students through an explanation & coded simulation of Bubble Sort. Students can add to this later by adding another option for Merge Sort with the potential to then measure the time taken for each algorithm to form a...

In this resource students are given a quadrilateral with one angle of 60 degrees and varying side lengths- with two of the sides of equal length. The challenge is to calculate the lengths of the diagonals.

Each student worksheet contains a different quadrilateral, but the solutions all have something in...

This is an unplugged resource to simulate the fetch-decode-execute cycle in a processor. It is a frantic starter activity aimed at students aged 17-18. The teacher acts as the computer memory, passing out instructions to the students. The students take on three different roles, fetcher, decoder and executer.  At...

A hyperbola is given with a parabola ax²  touching each branch of the hyperbola at single points. The task is to determine the value of a.

A formal proof of the general situation involves substituting the equation of the parabola into the equation of the hyperbola. The...

This resource focusses on addition bonds. Four equilateral triangles are grouped to create ‘petals’ and students are challenged to place the numbers 1 to 9 in a way that ensures each triangle has numbers where the larger number is the sum of two smaller numbers. This resource is an extension of the ‘Space Ship...

In this activity from the Nuffield Foundation, students carry out an experiment to collect data about a trolley rolling down a slope. They then use this data to simulate the motion of a train by fitting a quadratic curve to their data, using a graphic calculator or spreadsheet. The slideshow provides an...
