The National Curriculum for science, published in 1999. Compared with the 1995 version of the National Curriculum, the main changes are:
*There is a statement about the ‘Importance of Science’.
*The ‘Experimental and investigative science’ sections are renamed ‘Scientific enquiry’, with an emphasis on a...

These three case studies look at aspects of the Rolls-Royce business and how it expands and develops its activities through acquisition plans, knowledge of it's place in a competitive world and partnerships with other organisations. The case studies were produced by the Times and was part of a series investigating...

These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to develop understanding of filtration, evaporation and distillation as methods to separate...

From the Nuffield Foundation, the purpose of this module is to introduce students to a study of the properties of similar figures as a first step on the way to a study of trigonometry. Hence the workcards involve the practising of the mechanics of enlargement, becoming...

This module from the Nuffield Foundation gives an attempt to relate the gradient of a graph to the rate of displacement of an object which moves with time. This can be summed up in the phrase 'faster is steeper'. The module is in three sections, each of which is based...

This resource from the Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) consists of the level 3 units. For each unit below there are comprehensive teacher's notes giving an overview of the unit, the aims and objectives for that unit, prior learning or prerequisites and the equipment required....
