This booklet was written to support the Periodicity and Atomic Structure option in the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme Stage III: A Course of Options. The booklet starts with an account of atomic structure which is then related to the periodic table and leads on to a...

This collection supports the release of the new novel by Simon Mayo called Itch. The book, published by Random House Children's Books, is about a boy who loves science, collects elements and discovers a new element. The collection contains a selection of eLibrary resources which can be used to support the teaching...

This series of interactive excel sheets aimed at Year Three students explores collecting data, entering data into tables and drawing graphs. New data sets can be generated each time by the click of a button.

The first...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students learn to understand the relationship between graphical, algebraic and tabular representations of functions, the nature of proportional, linear, quadratic and inverse functions and doubling and squaring. Students should already be familiar with algebraic symbols such as...

These activities, produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), help students understand about the formulation and design of coating used for tablets taken as medicines. Designed originally as a unit of GNVQ teaching, the materials contain a range...

This Catalyst article looks at sexual selection, a form of natural selection, and the role it plays in the evolution of many organisms. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 24, Issue 4.

Catalyst is a science...

This Revised Nuffield Option aimed to help students see their experience of elements and compounds in a more unified and coherent theoretical framework. The treatment was based on experiment but emphasised theory.

Tables that make comparisons are everywhere: from university league tables to price comparison websites, and in this activity students use spreadsheets to compare super villains. There are three parts to this activity (A) students use a comparison table to sort data and make charts about super villains; (B) they...

This activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, introduces students to ways of combining errors (uncertainties) from two independent measured quantities. Using the equation for Doppler shift, the error in the rotational velocity and time period are calculated....

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for atomic structure and equations at A level. Curriculum links include atomic structure, relative masses, electron structure, formulae and equations, periodicity, isotopes, electron structure, mass spectrometry, electron configuration,...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these materials look at nuclear fission and nuclear reactors.

The activities examine the trend in reactivity of the metals in group II of the periodic table and includes a brief study of isotopes in relation to nuclear fission and nuclear...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The extraction and production of important materials from sulphide ores, iron ore and limestone.
* The use of relative atomic masses for determining the masses...
