This resource uses the context of sports people staying healthy for as many days as possible, to look at various pathogens, how they can spread, and how their spread can be reduced.  The concept of 'zero days'  is used to explain why it is important that professional sports people do not become ill, so they can...

This lesson develops the concept of using geometric properties to solve problems. Particular attention is paid to interior and exterior angles of polygons.

The lesson starts by considering four regular pentagons arranged so that the ‘gap’ between them is a rhombus. Students must calculate the angles in the...

A Catalyst article about the efficient use of heating systems. Many people complain of being too hot or cold. Coming soon are a new generation of intelligent heating controls which can learn how people live, and then deliver heating efficiently when and where they need it. These devices are known as Wattboxes and...

Sports podcasts are the best place for post-match analysis, sharing opinions and interviews. They are a great opportunity to reflect on the sporting event and provide some new insights. In this activity created by the IET, pupils create their own podcast for a sporting event....

This resource develops the concept of interpreting algebraic expressions, translating between words, symbols, tables and area representations.

Students work on tasks that require them to recognise the order of algebraic operations, recognise equivalent expressions, and understand distributive laws of...
