A Catalyst article about how people can work more safely with radiation. Radiation protection is a specialised area of health and safety. It deals with the protection of workers, patients, the general public, organisations and the environment. It is concerned with the use of two types of radiation:

*ionising...

In this Catalyst article, six people whose work can be described as ‘communicating science’ reveal the great variety of career paths in this area.

• Alex Tate is a Producer/Director for Windfall Films. He produces and directs science and natural history documentaries.
• Dr Sai Pathmanathan is a...

This paper from Rick Tynan, Bryn Jones, Andrea Mallaburn and Ken Clay describes how high performing international education systems integrate evidence based practice into their initial teacher education programmes (BERA-RSA 2014).

An example of informal practitioner research is described and discussed to...

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings.  

These materials have been designed by Cre8ate maths to support mathematics teaching in the context of chemical substances. The resources include Making Molecules, Waste Management and Hair and Beauty, giving students the opportunity to build models, investigate sequences, interpret graphs and discover the...

These cre8ate maths materials have been designed to support the teaching of mathematics at Key Stage Three, but can be used at Key Stage Two and Key Stage Four, in the context of social sciences. The resources include Is it fair, Islamic Design, Running a Club and Vedic Maths One and Two.

This activity from Cre8ate maths develops understanding of enlargement.

Students work in groups and, intuitively, sort sets of photos to identify those which have been enlarged from an original image. They then...

This selection of career profiles from Lantra looks at the land-based areas of floristry, agriculture and horticulture and the many differing roles within each sub-sector.

This resource looks at the two main drivers of sea level change - isostasy and eustasy. Each of these terms is explained and a worksheet covers both ideas in three practical demonstrations.

In the first practical, which includes both isostasy and eustasy, students undertake experiments which prove that...

This resource explains what a salt marsh is and how they record sea-level changes. As salt marshes are zoned by tidal inundation, salt marsh plants and sediments can then record changes in sea level as the zones move horizontally in response to vertical changes in sea level.

In a practical experiment,...

This resource considers what the microscopic plants and animals found over a salt marsh can show about past sea levels. The two activities in this resource explore these microscopic sea level recorders and how researchers use them to understand sea-level change.

In the first activity, students explore the...
