This teaching resource explores memory and distraction. In the activity students design an experiment and collect data to assess the impact listening to music can have on short term memory. Students are asked to analyse the data using a Mann-Whitney U Test on Excel. The learning is designed to ideally be carried...

The Nuffield Junior Science project was part of the Nuffield Foundation Science Teaching Project in the 1960s. In the publications, the project team suggested topics and methods to teachers interested in the contribution which science can make to the education of...

This Barefoot Computing activity for upper primary goes deeper into the concept of algorithms, using logical reasoning and debugging to find errors and to improve accuracy and efficiency. By following instructions, children create diagrams constructed from simple shapes. They are asked to identify errors in the...

This progression toolkit develops understanding of the key concept of particles in solutions, as part of a topic on substances and mixtures. This key concept helps to build broader understanding about particles and structure, which is one of the big ideas of science education at ages 11-14.
