Making it Relevant to Young People was the third in a series of 12 booklets published by Heinemann and the Association for Science Education to explore the issues arising from moving towards a broad and balanced science education for all young people. The main purpose...

The Knowledge and understanding guide: forces provides background scientific knowledge and understanding for teachers. It is not intended or suitable for direct use with students. It comprises nine sections which could each be the focus of an individual study session. Each includes ‘tasks’, ‘discussions’, ‘what the...

This resource, from Nuffield Foundation, provides clear guidance on the content, methods and timing appropriate at each stage of the Nuffield Maths 5 - 11 project, which was developed to promote students' understanding of the concepts, as well as proficiency in the...

Nuffield Foundation provide these resources from the Nuffield Maths 5-11 project, which allow students the opportunity to practice using and reading simple mathematical vocabulary. They support, as well as extend, the basic mathematical concepts introduced to young...

This is one of a suite of continuing professional development (CPD) units from the Department of Education covering the five ‘key ideas’ at Key Stage Three (cells, interdependence, particles, forces and energy). It links with the...

There are three themes in these materials:

• Substances: This introduces the idea of a substance by looking at properties and establishing that a substance can be in any of three states. A basic particle model is introduced.
• Mixtures of substances: This explores phenomena involving the mixing...

Published by LSIS, these booklets summarise the STEM action research projects carried out by 16-19 institutions across the UK.
