This immersive escape room activity introduces the BIFoR FACE (Birmingham Institute for forest research free air carbon enrichment) experiment and encourages learners to consider the impact of climate change on forest ecosystems. Learners work as a group to complete a virtual tour of BIFoR FACE before using...

In this activity students are about to get their first car. They also imagine that increased carbon dioxide emissions have led to huge financial incentives to buy renewable fuels. Filling stations provide hydrogen and biodiesel fuels, and recharging points for electric cars are commonplace. Students are presented...

Act 1

A picture is shown of a circle filled with toy cars. How many cars are shown in the picture?

Act 2

Further information is given about the dimension of the circle. Another picture shows a model car placed at the side of a penny. A final piece of information gives the price of a toy car. ...

These two Future Morph resources aim to show students that there is a wide choice of options open to those who study sciences and mathematics. The resources consist of:

The list covers six...

The Careers in Space workshop included inputs from: * Vicki Hodges on Astrium's STEM Ambassadors programme * Rosalind Azouzi on Space Tourism and the Next Generation * Lloyd Marshall on Apprenticeship opportunities with Astrium

This presentation provides an introduction to different careers linked to the construction industry.

This resource from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) describes the work of Charles Darwin on carnivorous plants to determine what causes the leaves to curl up when stimulated.

Darwin’s experiments are very easy...

This resource provided by ASE includes a number of activities to support environment teaching in science. By comparing the conventional use of agrochemicals with organic production, students can develop their understanding of the interaction between living things and their environment.

This activity also...

This resource from The Economist Educational Foundation engages students with big questions about climate change and human intervention. The sessions explore the viability of our attempts to keep temperatures down and supports students to discuss the obstacles to success and question where...

Act 1

A room is shown that has been carpeted using coins....

In this resource students are given four coordinate points and asked to find the equation of the lines that connect them. The four lines intersect to form a rectangle- can students find the area of the rectangle?

Each student worksheet contains different coordinate points, but the solutions all have...

This problem is an interesting variation on ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’. All three bears start eating their porridge at the same time but at different rates. The time is given for Daddy...

The equations of two intersecting lines are given. The challenge is to use Pythagoras’ theorem to show that the triangle formed by the lines and the y-axis is a right-angle. The point of intersection is determined by solving simultaneous equations.

Each example is derived from a pair of perpendicular lines....

In this teacher presentation and collection of student worksheets, the area of each face of a cuboid is given. Students are then asked to calculate the volume.

Each student worksheet contains a different cuboid, but the solutions all have something in common. The teacher presentations highlights two possible...
