A Year 10 module from the Salters’ double award science course. This module develops ideas about forces and motion in the context of road transport. It begins by eliciting some of the ideas students already have. Text activities consider the driving and counter forces...

In this Core Maths task students construct line graphs for time series data, calculate the moving average and interpret the graph, stating conclusions.

Moving Averages: Front sheet
This teacher guidance gives an overview of the task including prior student knowledge, suggested...

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

• Identify an electric field.
• Describe the effect of an electric field on a charged particle.            
• Describe the properties of electric fields.       
• Explain...

In this resource, from the Department fof Education Standards Unit, students learn to distinguish, by drawing and by using the order of the vertices, between Eulerian graphs, semi-Eulerian graphs and graphs that are neither; and to find strategies for solving the route inspection or ‘Chinese postman’ problem....

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...

In this activity students learn about:

- the type of movement generated using a slider and a lever

- how a slider and lever allow movement

- how to cut and assemble simple mechanisms using card and scissors

Find out all about the science in the world around us with 'Moving up with science'. Written to support the National Curriculum at Key Stage 2, each title explores key scientific topics...

This resource provides an overview for a lesson where students in Year 7 choose a blogging platform (if they are allowed to choose for themselves this comparing and contrasting the various offerings could be a lesson in itself), and set up a blog. They are also given various prompts to help with evaluating what...

This ASE interactive animation looks at materials and their properties and forces and how they are applied to a real life situation. It requires children to choose aspects of trainers that will keep Mr. Zippy's feet dry and help him to run fast. The students then design their own trainer on screen using 'drag and...

This task requires students to find dates of birth where the square of the year (the last two digits) gives the day and the month, e.g. 26/01/51, because 51² = 2601.

Students then need to use Fermi estimates to calculate how many people might have been born on these...

This game, aimed at primary level, allows children to practice multiplication problems. Children move along a track landing on different numbers, mainly from the 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables. To move they must say the pair of numbers (factors) which will multiply together to give a nearby product on the board. The...

A series of eight simultaneous equations are given and the initial challenge is to discover the single point of intersection of the lines. On each of the examples given the intersection takes as...

This short clip is the first of a suite of videos which look at progression in multiplication at primary level. It follows Sam, a Key Stage One teacher as she reinforces children’s understanding of the concept of multiplication using the interactive whiteboard. Children are asked to match pictorial representations...

This resource features two short tasks that involve finding multiple solutions to equalities and inequalities.

The first task is to find two solutions to

x² = 121

The examples then increase in difficulty, with an example being to find two solutions to

(x – 1)(5x⁴ –...
