This is a problem solving lesson, designed to help you assess how well students are able to:

• Select appropriate mathematical methods to use for an unstructured problem
• Interpret a problem situation, identifying constraints and variables and specify assumptions.
• Work with 2- and 3-...

In this series of activities, students work in teams, learn about engineering by taking on different roles and learn how physics applies in the context of planning a music...

Practice in converting between different metric units of length, using exercises on a worksheet, a bingo game and a dominoes game. 

This resource is part of the Nuffield Maths Level 1 Foundation resource collection.

This resource was developed by a STEM Ambassador, working with St Bonaventure’s School. It looks at how the natural world has inspired design. Student research and developed ideas for their biomimicry-based modes of transport, and modelled them.
Students then presented their ideas and models, explaining how...

The booklet, from the Institute of Physics, considers how physics can connect with learners and with other human activities and areas of knowledge.

•introducing what it is like to...

These resources from the Science Year CD-ROM Only Connect? focus on the theme of connections.

The wide-ranging materials include:

• Major resources - the main themed activities

• Everywhere - science through cross-curricular and whole-school activities

• Explore - a variety of games and...

Produced  in 2011 by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of mathematics and progression through STEM. It describes the development of the mathematics provision at Abingdon and Witney College. The aim was to make maths more relevant to students, particularly those...

DISCUS consists of eight Excel workbooks and a set of associated photocopiable work cards covering the topics: Descriptive Statistics, Probability, Binomial Distributions, The Poisson Distribution, Continuous Distributions, Sampling, Regression and Hypothesis Testing. The materials are designed to be used off the...

Choosing Content was the second in a series of 12 booklets published by Heinemann and the Association for Science Education to explore the issues arising from moving towards a broad and balanced science education for all young people. The main purposes of this booklet...

These resources will help students apply their physics knowledge and understanding, by giving them the opportunity to practice responding to questions set in unfamiliar contexts. Network Rail has developed these question and answer banks to support students and teachers with applying some of the more challenging...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the themes of employer engagement and mathematics. The project, by Rotherham College of Arts and Technology, aimed to generate an understanding of the industrial application of mathematics in learners, staff and employers. It...

The materials in this resource are from the Secondary National Strategy ‘Progressing to Level 6 and beyond in science’ project. They were intended for science teachers who are focusing on helping their students in understanding the processes and philosophy of science and scientists.
