The jet streams are bands of fast winds high in the atmosphere which are driven by pressure differences. Stormy weather follows the jet stream. In this film, Tim Woollings from the University of Oxford shows how, as the lower atmosphere gets warmer, we need to understand how the patterns of pressure and the jet...
This teaching resource is based on the discovery of a giant 30 000 year old virus, still alive under the permafrost. As the world warms, others may be uncovered. Could such an ancient virus wipe out the human race? In this activity, students learn how to interrogate sources to separate science fact from fiction....
This longer-duration activity involves prototyping a low-power lighting system. It could be used in an off-timetable workshop or across a series of lessons.
Students are challenged to work through the whole design process, and to place a micro-controller (in this case a BBC micro:bit) at the centre of the...
The BBC micro:bit is a great tool for carrying out surveys that involve quickly counting and recording one or two variables. Using the button inputs provides a simple interface to the device allowing, for instance, quick tallying of the numbers of two different types of bee around a plant. Other examples might...
These activities from the BEST project (age 11 to 14) can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic questions probe pupils' ability:
- to identify magnets and magnetic materials
- describe rules of attraction and repulsion between magnets
- to identify situations in which a force is...
These activities from the BEST project can be used with primary pupils. The diagnostic question probes pupils' understanding of how bones, muscles and tissues work together to support, protect and move the human body.The response activity helps to develop pupils' understanding of the function performed by the...
Birmingham Institute for Forest Research (BIFoR) has provided a free online learning platform for schools which includes curriculum linked activities, developed to support secondary school students. These activities provide the opportunity for students to join a growing community of citizen scientists who are...
These physics resources for students in Years 7-9 are part of the BRaSS initiative and should be used in conjunction with the Teachers' Pack.
Lesson aims:-
- To develop an understanding of colour vision...
This is a quick worksheet for students to label the parts of the uterus and describe the function of each part. Curriculum links include reproduction, pregnancy.
This is a starter activity in which students describe the route of a molecule of oxygen from air in the lungs to a muscle in a leg. A simple circulation “map” is provided to enable students to trace the route from the lungs, through the heart and to the leg. The map is supplied in 2 forms
at different levels...
In this starter activity, students use the information on a labelled diagram of a knee joint to complete a cloze exercise. Students can work out logically where to insert words, given a list. Additionally, sports injuries and treatment can be considered. Curriculum links include the skeletal system and muscles....
This activity, suitable for a multi-lesson sequence or a single extended session, challenges students to design and prototype a simple motion-sensing alarm. The device is intended to prevent theft or the accidental picking-up of a bag.
Motion is sensed using the accelerometer built-in to the BBC micro:bit,...
This resource from Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a practical, classroom activity that allows the students to make a balloon model of a disease-causing bacterium. This illustrates its basic shape and structure. Students can choose from three bacteria species...
In this activity, students consider the evidence for causal links between sugar consumption, obesity and disease. They then weigh up arguments for and against banning sugary drink sales to children.
Curriculum links include:
Key Stage Three:
*Working Scientifically: Analysis and evaluation –...
In this activity students work as researchers on a TV show and plan a report about the claim that sunbeds cause skin cancer.
Learning objectives:
*Use knowledge about UV light to explain the link between sunbeds and skin cancer.
*Understand how scientific evidence can support a claim.
