In this project, students measure the baseline level of fitness of a group of volunteers by recording how long it takes for their pulse rate to return to normal after exercise.

This 30 minute activity encourages pupils to consider who is responsible for ensuring we achieve the Global Goals (also known as the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs).

This document from the Department of Education looks at approaches to managing behaviour throughout the whole school at both a primary and secondary school. As part of the managing behaviour and bullying in schools case studies the resource explores: *Staff response to misbehaviour *'Golden Rules' and tickets *...

This Problem Solving with Industry module was devised by the Centre for Science Education in collaboration with Bridon Ropes Ltd of Doncaster. In this module students study the structure of rope and by carrying out some investigations, look at some properties of ropes...

This animated clip investigates the idea of orbits. It begins with Alice and Bob wondering why the Moon doesn’t fall to the Earth but an apple does. Alice throws an apple hard enough that it goes into orbit around the Earth. This clip could provide a lead in to topics such as gravitational force, acceleration,...

Alice wonders why it’s dark at night. If we are in an infinite Universe, why isn’t the sky full of starlight. Bob suggests that for some reason the light from the very distant stars hasn’t reached us yet. This leads on to the idea that the universe has a beginning and an age. This clip could provide a lead in to...

From Rolls-Royce, these materials are designed to show students the exciting range of careers that are available for students with science, technology, engineering or mathematics skills.

This resource aims to help students see the link between classroom STEM subjects and opportunities in the world of work....

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called ‘Power’. This D unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a Further Science course and built on the content of the S units for Single Science. The teachers’ guide included six...

Why did mammoths become extinct? Scientists have presented two claims: climate change or human hunters. In this lesson students apply their knowledge of evolution and study evidence to decide which claim is best supported.  Students are also asked to explain how a change in the environment can leave a...

This lesson introduces ideas about combustion, incomplete combustion and the production of carbon monoxide, particulates and their relationship to health.

Learning outcomes:

• Students could produce and write symbol equations for the combustion of carbon and methane using models.
• They...
