This file illustrates the use of the Sigma notation particularly with linear expressions. It begins with a static sheet showing four examples including some non-linear examples suitable for class discussion.

The...

This animation, from the Wellcome Trust, illustrates how several species of the Schistosoma parasitic worms exploit humans and fresh water snails. The parasites use rivers and streams to transfer between the two animals, using each for a specific phase of its life cycle...

Scimorph is a Prototype Augmented Reality (AR) Character to promote engagement with science. Its target audience are Year Six students although useable across a much wider range. The resource can be used as a lesson introduction and to provoke discussion and exploration of scientific principles. It may also be...

This Barefoot Computing resource for upper-primary computing lessons uses the creation of a Scratch maths quiz as a basis for learning about algorithms using selection.

Children are asked to create an algorithm that...

This Barefoot Computing resource builds on the ‘Maths quiz with selection’ learning activities which should be undertaken first.

It involves improving an existing Scratch maths quiz and adding score-keeping using...

These downloadable videos and animations are part of the multimedia package Stuff and Substance, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). They can be used to develop understanding of filtration, evaporation and distillation as methods to separate...

In this SimPhysics game, the challenge for players is to help a family stay warm through the worst winter on record. SimEnergy 1 simulates the factors involved in insulating a building and makes it more fun to learn the physics by taking an enquiry approach. Each round poses a different challenge for students to...

Like ‘The Sims’, in this SimPhysics game students look after a family and keep their home supplied with electricity. In the game scenario the government has set a carbon dioxide quota for each household, so limiting their contribution to climate change. The player has to invest in renewable sources of electricity...

In this SimPhysics game, players get the opportunity to manipulate sound, style a rock band and work on their recordings.

Players are presented with some wrinkles in the recorded sound that they have to iron out. On...

SimSpace is a SimPhysics game-based learning resource where players take on the role of space scientists, scouting the skies for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that may pose a risk to life on Earth.

The premise is that...

The first five interactive sheets deal with various types of diagram involving similar triangles. Each sheet shows a clear diagram and a table of values. Lengths of line segments can be revealed to allow the student to calculate the scale factor of enlargement and the...

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

...

This file provides practice at solving pairs of simultaneous equations where at least one is not linear. The pairs of graphs and the coordinates of the points of intersection can be revealed.

The first sheet deals...
