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

• Recall that most (but not all) cells are too small to be seen without a microscope.

• Apply the idea that cells have a three-dimensional shape.

• Link...

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

• Use a light microscope to make and record observations of cells from a range of tissues and organisms.

• Apply the idea that organisms are made up of one or more cells...

This simulation allows students to arrange positive and negative charges in space and view the resulting electric field and electrostatic potential. They can plot equipotential lines, discover their relationship to the electric field and create models of dipoles, capacitors, and more!

Sample Learning...

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive. This book introduces thermodynamic concepts and applies them the a variety of types of chemicals cells.
