The rainforest interactive resource is provided by ASE and it includes images and information that is presented in text and symbol supported versions. The other resources provide ideas and examples on how you could be using symbols in your teaching to clarify meaning and understanding. The rainforest website can be...

The simulation can be used to:

*Relate the real-world example of making sandwiches to chemical reactions.

*Describe what limiting reactant means using examples of sandwiches and chemicals at a particle level.

*Identify the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction.

*Explain the Law of...

This activity provides the opportunity for students to appreciate how mathematics plays a part in everyday life. The town council has allocated £100,000 to spend on reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries due to road accidents. Students are expected to adopt the role of planners who work in small teams...

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 simulation looks at resistance in a wire. Students can change the resistivity, length, and area to see how they affect the wire's resistance. The sizes of the symbols in the equation change along with the diagram of a wire as the variables are changed.

This resource contains two interactive excel files which deal with rounding of discrete and continuous variables and pose problems involving practical examples of calculations using rounded values.

Rounded Numbers: Bounds The first interactive sheet shows two numbers rounded to the nearest...

This animation, from the Wellcome Trust, illustrates how several species of the Schistosoma parasitic worms exploit humans and fresh water snails. The parasites use rivers and streams to transfer between the two animals, using each for a specific phase of its life cycle...

In this SimPhysics game, the challenge for players is to help a family stay warm through the worst winter on record. SimEnergy 1 simulates the factors involved in insulating a building and makes it more fun to learn the physics by taking an enquiry approach. Each round poses a different challenge for students to...

Like ‘The Sims’, in this SimPhysics game students look after a family and keep their home supplied with electricity. In the game scenario the government has set a carbon dioxide quota for each household, so limiting their contribution to climate change. The player has to invest in renewable sources of electricity...

In this SimPhysics game, players get the opportunity to manipulate sound, style a rock band and work on their recordings.

Players are presented with some wrinkles in the recorded sound that they have to iron out. On...

SimSpace is a SimPhysics game-based learning resource where players take on the role of space scientists, scouting the skies for Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that may pose a risk to life on Earth.

The premise is that...

The first five interactive sheets deal with various types of diagram involving similar triangles. Each sheet shows a clear diagram and a table of values. Lengths of line segments can be revealed to allow the student to calculate the scale factor of enlargement and the...

This contains two excel programs with interactive spreadsheets designed to show the graphical solution to pairs of simultaneous equations and provide their solutions.

...

This file provides practice at solving pairs of simultaneous equations where at least one is not linear. The pairs of graphs and the coordinates of the points of intersection can be revealed.

The first sheet deals...

The first sheet of this interactive excel file provides students with calculations to confirm that ^a...
