Cytology, Genetics and Evolution is one of the titles in the series of ASE Lab Books that were published in the early 1970s for the Association for Science Education by John Murray. Each title covered one or two topics and brought together the best of the teaching notes...

These activities from the BEST project can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic questions probe pupils' understanding of physical and chemical changes such as rusting and dissolving and how materials can be categorised using different properties. The response activities help to develop pupils' understanding...

These activities from the BEST project can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic questions probe pupils' understanding of reflection and shadows, focusing on how light travels in a straight line. The response activities help to develop pupils' understanding of this further using a laser demonstration and are...

In this Science upd8 activity students take on the role of forensic science technicians who are acting as expert witnesses for the murder of Angel. Students analyse blood splatter patterns to check whether the murder weapon used was a hammer. They also watch a demonstration of a blood viscosity test to check...

In this learning episode, produced by the Institute of Physics, students investigate how the intensity of radiation decreases with distance from the source.

The activities include:
* demonstration and discussion on how radiation spreads
* worked example to illustrate thinking in proportions...

In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students observe diffraction using a ripple tank or laser.

The activities include:
* simple ways to observe diffraction
* demonstration of diffraction using a ripple tank or laser
* deriving the formula for minima in the diffraction...

Produced by the Institute of Physics, this learning episode introduce students to electric fields, field lines and equipotentials. Similarities with gravitational fields are highlighted, but with the need to take account of the of charge.

The activities include:
• discussion and demonstration of field...

This learning episode, produced by the Institute of Physics, helps students to understand the photoelectric effect. A range of activities are described and these include: * demonstration of the photoelectric effect * discussion to summarise the phenomenon * using the photoelectric equation * the Millikan experiment...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics behind satellite communications. Students will take part in an interactive demonstration of a satellite network and use scientific investigation to learn how the law of reflection is used...

The videos in this collection from Teachers TV are aimed at secondary school science practitioners. They provide great lesson ideas for a range of topics, including:

* using demonstrations in biology, chemistry and physics
* dataloggers and ICT to help students understand processes
* forces,...

From the Institute of Physics, these resources are split into topics and each topic is subdivided into a number of learning episodes. Each learning episode represents a coherent section of teaching. Typically the activities include discussion, demonstrations, student investigations and calculations and can be...

MEI Online resources for OCR FP1 provide a selection of materials for the modulus-argument form of complex numbers. These include thorough notes, a study plan with additional exercises for students to complete and a multiple choice test. There is also a demonstration of the Argand diagram and an activity to promote...

This collection of videos from MathsMaster.org explain the basics of what a fraction is, equivalent fractions, writing fractions in ther simplest form, mixed numbers, comparing fractions, calculating a fraction of an amount, adding fractions and subtracting fractions. Each demonstration explains carefully the...

These videos are part of the Licence to Cook programme and support the demonstration, teaching and learning of different food skills and techniques. The videos, presented by Year Eight and Year Nine students to support each of the cooking sessions in the course, have been grouped into related areas to illustrate...
