This resource develops the concept of interpreting distance-time graphs.

Students work on a matching exercise that requires cards to be collected in sets of three; a distance-time graph, a statement, and a table of values. One of the ways this is done is by having cards that are ‘distractors’. For example,...

This progression toolkit develops understanding of the key concept of particle model for the solid, liquid and gas states, 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...

The simulation can be used to:

*Relate the real-world example of making sandwiches to chemical reactions.

*Describe what limiting reactant means using examples of sandwiches and chemicals at a particle level.

*Identify the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction.

*Explain the Law of...

This is a concept development lesson on interpreting data using frequency graph and box plots.

Eight frequency graphs are presented that show scores in tests. The frequency graphs must be matched with box plots.

There are pre-lesson and post-lesson formative assessment tasks. Detailed teacher notes...

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

This resource develops the concept of solving equations where the unknown appears once or more than once.

This lesson develops solving linear equations in one variable with rational number coefficients. Additionally, collecting terms, expanding expressions, and categorising linear equations according to the...

This resource looks at the concept of recognising the differences between equations and identities. Students substitute numbers into algebraic statements in order to test their validity. Common errors are highlighted that can occur when manipulating expressions.

Students work on an exercise that involves...

These inspirational resources introduce primary pupils to the concept of space debris and help raise their awareness of how important it is to clean up space.

The Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS) is a collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley and the Shell Centre team at the University of Nottingham, with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The team is known around the world for its innovative work in maths education....

These Fun-Size activities, from the Association for Science Education (ASE), are short 5-15 minute activities that enliven lessons. They range from short games and word plays through to quick demonstrations.

They are part of the SYCD: Science Year Is There Life? collection. Many of these have been kindly...

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.

There are seven parts to this book...

 Students test a range of foods to find out if they contain protein, fat, reducing sugar and calculate how much energy is in each of the foods. Food tests include:

• Protein content - Biuret test

• Fat content – Emulsion test

• Reducing sugar content – Benedict’s test

• Starch content –...

The Charles Darwin Trust uses the intellectual and cultural heritage of Darwin, through his approach to science and his work at Down House and in the immediate countryside, to inspire a deeper understanding of the natural world. Darwin Inspired materials promote enquiry-based learning. They prompt children to...
