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

• Explain why burning a fossil fuel adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
• Recognise that carbon dioxide molecules produced from a combustion reaction may eventually spread...

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

• Recognise that stirring does not affect the solubility of a substance.

• Recognise that increasing the volume of solvent does not increase the solubility of a substance...

This resource develops the concept of interpreting speed as the slope of a linear graph. There is also work on translating between the equation of a line and its graphical representation.

Students consider a graph drawn to model the flow between two identical right rectangular prisms. There are subsequent...

Produced by the Nuffield Foundation, these materials describe activities that challenge children to produce a design for a vehicle. It must be suitable for use as a storage and transport vehicle for some of the equipment used in a fairground. The vehicle should be eye catching, so that it attracts attention from...

In this lesson students develop their estimation and proportional reasoning skills, developing a sense of scale of large ...

This interactive excel file begins with a sheet showing the dimensions of a cuboid beside an oblique drawing of the cuboid. The student needs to calculate the area of the three different faces, the total surface area and the volume of the cuboid. The dimensions can be...

This kit encourages students consider and investigate some of the main issues surrounding the use of antimicrobial cleaners and antibiotics. Role play gives students a chance to explore the different sides of the issue and compare others’ points of view, as well as considering social, ethical and factual issues in...
