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

• Recall that light can change direction (refract) when it passes across a boundary between transparent media
• Describe how the angle light passes across a boundary between two...

A trio of videos that investigates the refraction of light through a transparent block.  This first video allows students to see the experiment and the other two review the results and plot a graph to investigate the relationship between the incident and refracted angles.  This is a required practical for students...

Mathcentre provide these refresher packs covering Algebra, Numeracy, Differentiation and Calculus. They were designed as activities to support students by preparing them, prior to the commencement of their university course, for the mathematical demands of their programmes. The Algebra Refresher booklet is sent out...

This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Decision maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. The resources include slide shows to introduce the topics, student sheets and teacher notes, as well as other relevant resources.

This ‘Refurbishing a room’ resource is an...

Practical Action have supplied this teacher's pack to challenge students to use their STEM skills to come up with solutions to a problem of water shortage in Sudan. The pack includes a PowerPoint presentation and Teacher Guide so that teachers can outline the problem to their students. The PowerPoint makes...

These activities cover bivariate data which includes regression and correlation.

[b]Least squares regression[/b] spreadsheet is designed to help students get a feel for drawing a line of best fit through a set of points and to begin to understand the concept of regression. Students are given a set of six...

This is a series of interactive excel sheets exploring linear regression.

The first sheet plots a scatter diagram and line of best fit for a small set of bivariate data. The mean and product moment correlation...

This experiment from the IET helps children learn about oxidation, chemical reactions, acids and alkalis by testing a range of liquids on fruit slices left out for Rudolph on Christmas Eve. The resources provided include full lesson guidance, as well as a challenging maze puzzle to support assessment and increase...

A resource aimed at the various GCSE Specifications for Computing. Activities are broken down into 14 stages and will require students to create a Relation Database...

It is often very helpful to reiterate vocabulary and definitions associated with database technology. This resource can be used as a starter or a plenary activity to reinforce key terminology.

This resource from CensusAtSchool uses the ideas of estimating probabilities through finding the relative frequency of given data about favourite subjects at school. It uses sampling from different populations and investigates the effect of sample size on the estimated probability.

From Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this practical activity was developed for Scottish Highers specifications, but the protocol can equally well be used for other specifications.

Students incubate...

This collection from The Royal Statistical Society Centre for Statistical Education (RSSCSE) has been written to help make statistics lessons more relevant and engaging to teachers and students.

Having run the well known CensusAtSchool Project for the last eight years the RSSCSE are well aware of the impact...
