Siemens Infinity STARship (Sustainable Technology Autonomous Robots) provides an immersive gateway to Siemens Education resources aimed at secondary aged pupils.  By exploring the STARship and the resources within it, students will earn points for participating in quizzes and engaging with the onboard content which...

The first interactive sheet shows a calculator for Simple Interest where the amount invested, the rate of interest and the term can be altered. The next sheet shows sets of five questions on Simple Interest to be answered with the help of calculators. Answers can be...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students will learn to understand and interpret bar charts, pie charts, and box and whisker plots. This session is in two linked parts. The first is matching pie charts to bar charts and secondly matching box and whisker plots to bar charts. Each part of the session...

In this DfE Standards Unit resource, students interpret linear and non-linear distance-time graphs using the computer programme Traffic. This program provides a simple yet powerful way of helping learners to visualise distance–time graphs from first principles. The program generates situations involving...

This interactive excel file has separate sheets which deal with inverse proportion where the functions are linear, quadratic and square root. Each sheet begins with a statement of the proportional relationship and values so that the constant can be calculated and the...

In this resource from SAPS, students learn about random sampling, diversity and different measures of abundance, before looking at close-up photographs of quadrats and using the field guide to identify them. The resources are intended to help students develop skills and plant identification techniques before going...

This online ecology practical, by SAPS, is designed to give students an opportunity to see how systematic sampling can be used to

• investigate changes in species richness across a footpath
• the distribution of species across a footpath

These online exercises are not intended as a...

In this activity students explore the use of mathematics in a disease management context. Students assume the role of scientists attempting to contain the spread of a dangerous virus and are expected to locate infected people, develop a successful antidote and manage a large-scale vaccination programme. Students...
