This role-play activity, from Eurostemcell, allows students to explore some of issues around stem cell research and its medical applications, enabling them to think about and develop their own views on this very exciting, controversial field. The role play has been designed to address the following issues:

This resource from SMILE Mathematics consists of six themed handling data projects. Each project has teacher guidance giving possible hypothesis within the theme and also potential outcomes at different mathematical levels for each project under the headings: planning...

A lesson plan that takes the students through the algorithm to making a paper airplane. It consists mainly of a worksheet task to correctly sequence the steps in making a paper airplane, in doing so they must discard any superfluous...

A lesson plan that takes the students through the algorithm to plant a seed. It consists mainly of a worksheet task to correctly sequence the steps in planting a seed, in doing so they must discard any superfluous information. The idea is then that they give their algorithm to another child for that child to follow...

Produced by the Spode Group with the intention of providing a collection of applications for teachers and students to be able to appreciate relevant uses of mechanics. The applications include: *N men in a boat - components and moment forces *High jump techniques - projectiles, impulse, centre of mass *The shot...

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

• Explain that the properties of a compound may not be inferred from the properties of elements made up of its constituent atoms.

• Use particle diagrams to represent the...

From the LSIS, these materials cover two sessions designed to take students through the basic principles of manipulating and solving equations. The learners work through building an equation, checking the equation and solving the equation. They are then asked to create their own equation and swap it with a partner...

This resource contains an interactive spreadsheet designed to illustrate teaching points and which could be used as the basis of investigations which involve reasoning about number and shape. Each page of the spreadsheet contains a different activity:

This booklet from the National Numeracy Strategy was written to help students: * solve mathematical problems or puzzles, recognise and explain patterns and relationships, generalise and predict; * explain methods and reasoning orally and in writing; * suggest extensions by asking ‘What if …?’ All the activities...

This resource from Defence Dynamics asks students to create and interpret a variety of graphs. The types of graph covered are time series, moving average, stem and leaf, cumulative frequency and scattergraphs.

This short task considers reasoning with equations and inequalities. Students answer a series of six questions, including working with solution sets for pairs of inequalities, and sketching the solution set of a system of four inequalities. 

The resource comes with a detailed rubric for each question. 

This resource, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, is a video that explains why the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere experience different seasons at the same time. It uses clear diagrams and animations to demonstrate how the tilt of...

This Working Paper has been written to inform all those who are concerned about the status and nature of Design & Technology in the secondary school curriculum. It has been developed in response to the serious and continuing decline in the uptake of GCSE Design & Technology since the subject was introduced...
