This resource uses the context of boats used in the America's cup sailing race to encourage students to think about the various types of energy resources, how they are used and the impact they have on the environment. 

The resource consists of a sequence of two lessons.  The first looks at the role of the...

Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context. The activities provide opportunities for children to consider the use of plant material (biomass) for renewable energy. They go on to look at some of the problems that using...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, asks students to read and interpret repeating wave pattern graphs.

"Engineers sometimes have to analyse data which shows a repeating pattern. Plotting a graph of the data is often helpful as it...

This report by HM Inspectors begins by outlining the history of the British School Technology (BST), its terms of reference and the extent of the operation in terms of the numbers of teachers trained. Details are given of inspections carried out and a more detailed description of the work carried out by BST at...

This report, from 2013, contains the findings of an expert panel commissioned by the Department for Education to report on Core Mathematics. The panel aimed to provide clear guidelines to inform the development of new Level 3 mathematics qualifications to be used by the Department for Education in deciding which...

The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) established an independent Commission on assessment following the Secretary of State’s decision to remove levels and their associated descriptors from the National Curriculum from September 2014. The Commission, comprising a panel of experienced practitioners, met...

A report from the National Curriculum Council (NCC). The change in approach was in turn widely criticised by respondents, and further revisions made by the NCC. While the move towards two Attainment Targets (ATs) and the separation of Information Technology was accepted, there were wide concerns about perceived...

The purpose of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Mapping Review, published by the Department for Education in 2004, was broadly to:

• investigate whether STEM initiatives currently being taken forward address the concerns raised about the decline in demand of university places in...

This resource, produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, helps students to understand how and why incidents must be reported. Not just to apportion blame, but to allow analysis of their causes. This prompts action to help prevent further accidents in the future. The materials ask students to use a...

A four-part unit, from the ASE SYCD: Science Year Primary CD-ROM, guiding pupils through planning, investigating and reporting on two news stories. It provides an opportunity for pupils to develop their writing, speaking and listening skills through role-play as journalists. Pupils role-play as journalists as they...

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) funds and produces research in areas of post-16 education and training in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). These resources are some of the reports, research and guidance that have been published. They include the areas of:
* Progression into...

In this resource from the DfE Standards Unit, students interpret 2D representations of 3D shapes, analyse 3D shapes using plans, elevations, and isometric drawings and develop their reasoning ability in spatial contexts. Many students may have met these ideas before, but they may still experience difficulties in...

This lesson develops the concept of visualising two-dimensional cross-sections of representations of 3-dimensional objects.

The lesson begins by considering two cylindrical containers placed so that they make a right angle. Water flows from one cylinder to the other. Students consider the top view of the...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are aimed at mathematics practitioners. Sessions in this resource look at:

• Data collection and handling (using technology creatively and appropriately)

• Key features of charts graphs and diagrams (building on knowledge...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

  • Interpret the meaning of the symbols + and → in a word equation.

  • Select the word equation that correctly represents the chemical reaction described.

  • ...
