In this project, students investigate and compare the waterproof and breathability properties of a range of fabrics used in clothing designed for sailing. They will find out about the different fabrics used in wet weather sailing gear. In particular, how breathable waterproofs work and what advantages and...

This resource explores how there can sometimes be conflict between people and animals in some habitats and how the World Land Trust's conservation partners work to protect local people as well as animals such as Indian elephants and Bengal tigers. Pupils are encouraged to think about what they might do to support...

This booklet for young people in the UK who are making decisions about their next steps, and the different routes into the engineering sector, including T Levels, apprenticeships, degree apprenticeships and degrees.

Machine learning is a system where rather than a computer programmer deciding the best way to sort, organise, classify or use information, the computer program develops its own set of instructions (algorithm) based on information that users feed it.  Scientists at the...

This resource contains two maths activities. The first gives pupils the opportunity to make and fly paper planes, measure distance travelled accurately and mathematically record data. This maths activity gives pupils the chance to learn more about how the wing span and fuselage length can affect the distance a...

This collection of posters and leaflets, provided by the Food Standards Agency, provides information about food allergies.  They would be useful for anyone dealing with food, including teachers and other adults who are running cookery clubs or who are teaching cookery in school.

This Catalyst article investigates materials used in jet engines. They must withstand high temperatures and great forces. Special alloys are used for structures such as turbine blades. The article is from Catalyst:...

This Alpha Mathematics resource, published by Schofield & Sims, was developed to cater for students of good average or above average ability who, after training, would be able to work individually, or in groups, with the minimum of help from the class teacher.

It was designed to be implemented as a...

This resource, published by Schofield & Sims, is the first in the Alpha Mathematics series of text books which were developed for use by more able students of middle school age. The structure of the book is replicated in other books of the series and there are...

This resource, published by Schofield & Sims, is the second in the Alpha Mathematics series of text books which were developed for use by more able students of junior and middle school age. It continues the theme of book one and allows students to review and extend their knowledge of specific topics.

This resource, published by Schofield & Sims, accompanies the text books for the Alpha Mathematics series, which catered for more able students at junior and middle school, and contains detailed notes on the implementation of the scheme which includes:

*a synopsis of the contents of the Alpha series, the...

Alpha Mathematics and Beta Mathematics, first published by Schofield & Sims in the 1970s, were developed to provide a cohesive, progressively planned course which, when completed, would give students of junior and middle school age a broadly-based foundation in mathematics, deemed essential for future progress...

The aim of this Ofsted survey was to analyse the elements of successful alternative provision. Alternative provision has been defined as education outside school, arranged by local authorities or schools. For the purpose of this survey, alternative provision was defined as something in which a young person...
