These materials are based around the idea of mathematical story-telling, something that the resources’ author describes as ‘The Three Acts of a Mathematical Story’.

Act One

This is where the story is introduced, using as few words as possible, and in a way that will...

Purpose: A rapid method of recording results of investigations or observations is to take a photograph using the camera built in to most mobile devices. The photograph then needs to be annotated to ensure important details are not forgotten or overlooked.

Teaching approach: An example of when this approach...

This resource looks at the irreversible change associated with making bread. It includes teacher guidance for activities, a recipe for chapattis, photographs and a worksheet. It also contains suggestions for teaching the topic to younger learners.
Although designed as a science resource it could also be used...

This Nuffield Secondary Science picture pack was designed for use with Field of Study 2.3 in Theme 2. The pack contains 32 large, black and white line drawings and photographs.

Some of the images illustrate evidence for human evolution including:

*skulls

Aimed at primary level, this resource contains seven activity ideas which link to work on animals, living things and their habitats and design and technology. The activities, which contain step by step instructions and photographs, are:

* Making a mini-pond
* Pond dipping
* Making a toad home...

In this activity SEND pupils will learn to create a clear algorithm for someone else to follow. Pupils will create a simple model from Lego and then take photographs to create a visual algorithm to help other pupils to recreate their model. As they remove one block at a time they are learning to decompose a problem...

A Mathematics Matters case study looking at how mathematical software supports new developments in imaging technology. Mathematical image processing techniques make it possible for us to capture, transmit and store photographs and video. They also let us restore noisy or damaged images and extract useful...

This Catalyst article presents a series of photographs from NASA Satellites tracking Hurricane Ike from space.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2008, Volume 19, Issue 2.

Catalyst is a science magazine for students...

In this ASE SYCD: Science Year Primary resource, prominent engineers talk about what excites and inspires them in their work.

The resource consists of:

*Colour photographs of prominent male and female engineers, which can be printed out in colour or black and white.
*A short paragraph on what...

Astronauts have been taking photographs of the Earth from space for over 50 years and Earth Observation scientists have used satellite images for a similar amount of time.

The EO Detective activities aim to demonstrate how a vantage point in space, such as the International Space Station, provides a unique...

The photographs and clear text in this series of books tell the young reader how the earth's natural resources are extracted and prepared for their many everyday uses....

A photograph of three cubes is presented. The faces of the cubes are decorated with patterns. The challenge is to determine which box is different from the other two. This resource is suitable for Key Stage 3 and could be used as an extension when teaching nets for cubes.

• ...

The Nuffield Foundation provide this resource which can be used to introduce the idea of representing objects using plans and elevations. Students will have the opportunity to identify everyday objects photographed from plan and elevation views, draw 3D sketches of solids from their plan and elevation views, as...

The Science in a Topic students’ book Moving on Land provides information and activities relating to forms of transport on land. Students are encouraged to find out about transport in the past by visiting dedicated museums and to consider changes likely in the future. Energy is introduced as ‘what makes things move...
