This lesson sets the scene for the study of the Lunar Discs, and gets students to think about the contexts and history leading to the collection of the Lunar samples in the loan boxes. By considering the events of the space race, role playing taking a moonwalk, and considering the actions of the astronauts,...
A Catalyst article explaining how weather forecasts can help keep the public safe in extreme situations by providing advance warnings: for example, airline pilots rely on accurate information about the development of thunderstorms to help them decide which routes might be at risk from lightning or violent...
This resource looks at how distance can be measured using sound. A brief description of sonar and radar is given, along with an explanation of the Doppler effect and the wave equation. Students then use this equation to answer a set of questions.
This activity booklet uses the real life context of air traffic control using radar signals to identify the position of an aeroplane that students act out. It provides them with an opportunity to use their knowledge of waves and speed = distance / time to calibrate and calculate the distance a plane is from the...
This collection of interactive excel sheets look at radians, arc length, sector area, converting to and from degrees, and other related problems.
The first sheet displays a sector of a circle and corresponding...
This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module introduced a source detector model for thinking about radiations. This model was used as students explored the transmission, absorption and reflection of radiation and then went on to learn about the radiations from...
This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at radiation, and will make the student familiar with many forms of radiation, how it is measured, and what different doses can lead to over time. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in...
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Remote controls, mobile phones, televisions and radios are such commonplace devices that it is easy to take for granted how they work. What...
A Catalyst article about the safe use of radiation. Radioactive materials are hazardous because they give out ionising radiation. Like many scientific discoveries, radioactivity provokes a mixed reaction. Some seek to commercialise it whilst films and comic books emphasise its harmful effects. The article takes the...
This guide, from triple science support, provides practical advice and guidance to enhance and enrich the teaching of the electromagnetic spectrum using the context of medical physics. Most students are engaged by the ideas that medicine brings to the curriculum so this guide can be used as a tool to raise...
This resource pack was influenced by the misunderstandings revealed by the reporting of the Chernobyl accident. Many newspaper articles referred to the ‘cloud of radiation’ which had escaped from the reactor, and warned people not to drink rainwater or milk because they ‘contain radiation’. All the lessons are...
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Radiation is all around us and is part of our everyday life. Much of the radiation that bombards us comes from natural sources, though we are...
This video discusses the concerns people have about radioactivity and shows that, rather than the radioactivity itself, it is the radioactive atoms that are of greater concern. Radioactivity (alpha and beta particles) is relatively harmless unless it enters the body.
From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Radiating from source to absorber * Photon shift energy * Multiple contributions * Radiations that ionise * Sources of ionising radiation Each topic is explored from the...
