This collection of starting activities for A level mathematics is intended to enrich the post-16 learning of mathematics students in lots of A Level classrooms. All risps tackle topics from either AS/A2 Core (Pure) Mathematics or the Further Mathematics syllabus, with the aim of making learning more exploratory and...

In this activity SEND pupils will learn to use logical reasoning to solve a problem and can be adapted using the PowerPoint to develop understanding of algorithms, decomposition and debugging. The activity gives pupils the opportunity to solve the traditional problem of a farmer trying to get a chicken, fox and...

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

In this ‘Road test’ resource students use acceleration and braking data from a car road test to draw graphs....

This resource is part of a collection of Nuffield Maths resources that explore Algebra and Maths. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in Higher Level GCSE and Level 2 Functional Mathematics.

This activity is about using graphical and algebraic methods to solve problems in real contexts that can be...

The Science in a Topic students’ book Roads, Bridges and Tunnels concerns the study of road networks and how they have been built to pass under or over obstacles such as mountains and rivers. Many different types of bridge are studied and the form of arches in tunnels considered. Students are lead to find out about...

A Catalyst article about the life and work of the physicist Robert Hooke. Hooke was a man of many interests. He invented many mechanical devices, including the universal joint used in all cars and designed a balance wheel for a watch. As part of his wide ranging observations, using a microscope, he first coined the...

Together with related activities from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), this resource allows students to investigate the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals, and to explore the latest ideas in search-and-rescue...

Bring physical computing to life, whilst introducing the micro:bit to pupils, with these robotic head templates. Program sequenced animations on the micro:bit and then use the templates to display the micro:bit through a robotic form.  A template is provided for printing on paper or card, as well as files for 3D...

In this set of two activities pupils will learn about the different functions of bones and muscles, such as the humerus, ulna and metacarpals and understand how the human arm works. They are given the opportunity to use their own ideas to build and test a model robotic arm, with a full understanding of why robotic...

From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this brochure describes the leading role played by UK scientists and engineers at universities, observatories and research council establishments in providing real-time astronomy for research and education. The work of the Liverpool and Faulkes telescopes...

A collection of posters all linked to robotics. The first poster looks at how robotics is used in different STEM industries, including manufacturing, healthcare and space. The second poster promotes the skills that you can develop when you learn about robotics. The third poster looks at a number of different...
