This video discusses how data is coded and stored. It takes a look at the genetic code in humans and shows how it could be stored as 1.5Gb of data.

In this activity children practise using scales to weigh different items of packaging. They then calculate how many of each item could be made from an average tree. 

The resource, which provides an authentic context for maths learning has been proved by the IET, (Institution of Engineering and Technology)....

This activity, created for use by teachers and/or Environment Agency STEM Ambassadors with the help of a teacher, has been designed to make pupils realise how much water they are wasting. Pupils will carry out an investigation where they...

In this resource students are asked to measure dimensions from scale drawings and find the areas of rectangles and triangles. They then calculate the amount of paint needed to paint a house and its cost.

This resource consists of four short tasks.

Students begin by writing expressions about the individual ages of three people using information from the task. Additional information is then given about the total age of the three people and the task is to find out how old each person is. A final task involves...

This video shows people’s misconceptions regarding the age of the Earth. It shows how imagining the difference between a million and billion is very difficult for people to do.

The video uses an arm span to model the age of the Earth and shows how recent in the Earth’s history the evolution of more complex...

This lesson resource supports students to understand how products are designed to meet the needs of clients. Students are introduced to key vocabulary (technology push and market pull) by analysing the evolution of a daily product (the mobile phone and listening to music on it). Theory of both topics is included...

In this activity, students are asked to analyse data to work out which form of personal transport is currently the least safe. They then consider what safety features are in use at the moment.

Students brainstorm and...

This video shows how electromagnetism can be explained using either models of magnetism or of electric fields, induced by length contraction caused by special relativity. Length contraction (Lorentz contraction) occurs to anything that is moving – relative to something moving...

Using the presentation as stimulus material, this activity asks students to consider products in terms of their benefits to society and to justify their point of view. This activity allows students to explore social, ethical, economic and health issues relating to...
