A collection of various resources, from the Association for Science Education (ASE), set in the context of sea, the moon and chemistry of the oceans. The resources are part of the SYCD: Science Year Is There Life? collection.

'All at sea? The chemistry of the oceans' is a very attractive ten-page booklet...

This sub-collection includes shorter activities which can make effective starter and plenary activities, helping students to engage and further their understanding. The resources are:  

• Mr Zippy's Trainers: This brings together the ideas of friction, air resistance and materials using clear language...

This Catalyst article investigates pollutants in the Arctic. Scientists are monitoring the accumulation of synthetic chemicals which are polluting the Arctic environment.

The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2014, Volume 25, Issue 3.

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S units called ‘Particles at work’ and ‘Circuits’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included seven worksheets to...

Futurecade was developed as an interactive suite of games allowing students to explore how science and technology impacts on their everyday lives. These resources were developed to accompany the games which were inspired by technology in the fields of robotics, satellites and space junk, geo-engineering...

This collection of resources from the Association for Science Education (ASE) and produced by teachers using standard ICT packages, illustrate some of the ways that ICT can be used to enrich existing schemes of work.

Inclusive Science gathers together a variety of activities, investigations, games and quizzes. The wide selection of materials encourage and enable students, and allow teachers to tailor activities to students' needs. The collection was a collaborative project between the Association for Science Education (ASE) and...

These are science resources will encourage and enable students to get involved with practical science. A wide selection of materials is presented within each resource, allowing a teacher to tailor the activities for a specific group of students.

The resources in this section are:

*Coastline Protection...

In this lesson from the Science and Technology Council (STFC), students use an experiment to see if carbon dioxide does cause global warming. The lesson starts with a presentation which raises questions to be answered by the experiment. Students are asked to evaluate the method and results before planning and...

In this resource form the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), students are asked to evaluate the evidence about climate change and think about ways to manage the worst of its effects. Students learn about the ways of modelling the effects using computers using data and knowledge of physical processes...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the B units called ‘Communities and populations’ and ‘Charged particles’. This S unit provided enough material for eight double periods during a single-certificate science course. The teachers’ guide included four...

This collection of resources was developed for GCSE courses by Cape Farewell in partnership with the Nuffield Curriculum Programme. The Cape Farewell expedition has carried out a series of voyages of discovery in a sailing schooner to Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic. In one voyage scientists and teachers...

These wide-ranging materials include interactive animations and print-based resources covering various science themes.

The six major resources are:

*Chemwars - an interactive game approach to teaching about reactivity, complete with video clips of the reactions

*Ghost in the machine - guide...

NASA's Viking Mission to Mars was composed of two spacecraft, Viking 1 and Viking 2, each consisting of an orbiter and a lander. The primary mission objectives were to obtain high resolution images of the Martian surface, characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and search for...

This resource, from the Association for Science Education (ASE), introduces scientists working in a range of different careers. It is part of the SYCD: Science Year Is There Life? collection. The scientists describe: • How they got into science • Where they have worked • What they work on • What their lifestyle is...
