This video has been created to support the online CPD course 'Running STEM Clubs Online' GO100.

Claire Collins is a STEM Club leader and science technician at Consett Academy ​​. In this video...

Salt water is denser than freshwater. That is why we float so much more easily in the sea than in a lake or a swimming pool. An object will float if it is less dense than the water surrounding it. Therefore, things float easier in salt water as it is denser than freshwater. This is particularly evident in the Dead...

In this activity learners will solve simple addition problems in order to play a game of salute. The problems will be based around the numbers 1-20. This will improve and reinforce learners’ addition skills in a fun and engaging context. This activity could be used as a starter activity covering learning from the...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 9B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 9.

Sampling covers: random sampling, systemmatic sampling, quota sampling and stratified random sampling.

The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet,...

Aimed at primary level, this resource provides a practical context to explore the requirements of plants for life and growth. Children are introduced to the ways in which local communities in Bangladesh successfully grow enough pumpkins for themselves and to sell to provide an income. This leads into an...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 7B which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the second half of year 7. Scale drawing covers measuring lengths, plans using scales and maps using scales. The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet, extra exercises and mental tests...

These NASA materials describe hands-on science and engineering challenges for students, using space exploration as an engaging context. The activities are related to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite missions. Students design and build: *an air-powered...

These resources utilise ways that careers information can be incorporated into science lessons, particularly practical work. It enables the science teacher to relate their subject specialism to potential learning pathways that students can follow. In turn, students can see where scientific content and skill sets...

Produced by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, this booklet uses the context of life on extrasolar planets to introduce light absorption spectra. Included is an online video that discusses where we might find alien life and how we can search for it. Questions and answers are included that test a student’s...

In this session students will create a logic circuit to represent a Mars rover MOT. They will identify the necessary logic gates and consider numerous inputs, which will be combined and traversed in person. They will make the link between truth tables and undertake testing and some simplification to reduce the...

A selection of resources, published by BEAM, for teachers of early years mathematics. They include challenging problems and puzzles, open-ended investigations, cross-curricular activities and resources to practise and consolidate students' mathematical understanding....

A selection of mathematics games for use with early years students, published by BEAM. They include problems and puzzles, cross-curricular activities and resources to develop spatial awareness and pattern recognition. The activities, with their mathematical content, are: *Butterflies - using counters to make...

In this activity from ARKive, students use a key to identify several species of shark and ray. Extension questions use video of shark movement available on the ARKive website as a context to discuss adaptation.

One of the units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology in which students produce a multimedia presentation using software they are familiar with from previous ICT lesson time. The presentation content must first be researched and the presentation itself needs to be attractive and easy to use...

Produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, in this activity students study a short podcast from the National Geographic. The clip is intended to encourage members of the public to replace standard light bulbs with low-energy light bulbs. It presents science themes in a way that gets a message across. The...
