Instant Maths Ideas is a collection of resources designed for teachers to delve into for inspiration, providing the busy teacher with ideas for starters, extension questions and probing questions to supplement their lesson plan. The collection contains three sub collections: Number and Algebra, Space and Shape and...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify observational evidence of the formation of a new product with new properties.
• Distinguish rate from time.
• Distinguish average rate from instantaneous rate of...

From the Institute of Physics, this collection of resources gives careers information for students, teachers and careers advisers. There is a set of video clips that follow the work of individual scientists as they show how physics is applied in their work. The video clips illustrate concepts in physics and how...

The Institute of Physics Schools and Colleges Lecture has been delivered by a series of acclaimed physics communicators, throughout the UK, since 1993. Topics are explained using a wide range of visual aids and the one hour lectures are accessible to students aged 14 years old and above. They are designed to tie in...

The Supporting Physics Teaching initiative from the Institute of Physics is intended to support specialist and non-specialist teachers who teach 11-16 physics.

Each topic contains a physics narrative, teaching and learning issues and teaching approaches:

• The physics narrative explains the physics of...

Students will explore the difference between RISC and CISC instruction sets by navigating a rover to different locations on a given map. They will explore how increasing the range of instructions can reduce the number of instructions required but increase the amount of data required to store the commands. They will...

For this session students will think about what instructions are needed within the software of the ExoMars rover and how they will make the hardware work to complete tasks successfully. There will be a focus on three steps within computational thinking: identify the problem, decomposition and collecting data. After...

Professor Andrew Coates and Dr Ian Hutchinson explain how the ExoMars instruments, the Pancam and Raman spectroscopy instruments can be combined to help scientists identify areas of interest on the surface of Mars.  The video shows how field trips are important to learn first-hand the challenges that the ExoMars...

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of instrumentation engineer and STEM Ambassador, Boye Odukunle.

Boye develops precise specifications clients who are building 'plants' or 'facilities' that process oil and gas following its extraction from reserves.

The job offers...

This Catalyst article shows how to make Baked Alaska ice cream. Baked Alaska consists of frozen ice cream and hot meringue and pastry. It helps to understand about thermal conductivity to make this delicious dessert.

This article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2016, Volume 27, Issue 1.

The module, from the Nuffield Foundation, focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of directed numbers. The approach is the highly unusual one of representing directed numbers by equivalence classes of ordered pairs. This representation is supported by the use of a cardboard ‘machine’ which the...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of integration, often used in the field of engineering. They include linearity rules of integration, integration by parts, integration by substitution and integration as the reverse of differentiation.

Comprehensive notes, with clear descriptions, for...

Mathcentre provide these resources which cover aspects of integration and are suitable for students studying mathematics at A Level, as well as those students for whom mathematics is an integral part of their course. Some of the topics covered include integration as the reverse of differentiation, integration by...
