In 2012, the Olympic and Paralympic games will be held in London. These resources look at a wide range of topics that can all be linked to the games. They cover science, technology, engineering and mathematics and can be used in individual lessons or as part of a cross-curricular Olympic and Paralympic theme.

A case study from Mathematics Matters which looks at the development of optical fibres and how mathematical models have simplified the process of producing them. Modern society relies heavily on a variety of networks, but we don’t fully understand how they behave. Mathematical network theory lets us create models...

Offering imaginative insight into the area...

Help encourage your child's STEM skills, passion and talent with this parents' guide to engineering careers.

This is a book about modelling, but all the models derive from the basic shapes of sphere, cone, crystal, plate, strip, rod and spiral. The book is intended for those who enjoy using their hands creatively. It will be particularly valuable to non-specialist teachers who want introduce modern creative work into art...

This study unit offers some practical strategies that teachers use to improve the climate for learning. The techniques suggested are tried and tested; they draw on both academic research and the experience of practising teachers.
