This Licence to Cook practical session is about creating a deli-style salad using a range of different ingredients. Students are presented with the opportunity to cook a range of starchy foods, whilst simultaneously preparing other ingredients for their salad.

The aim of the session is to improve students’...

In this Licence to Cook practical session students make a savoury sauce and combine it with pasta to make a simple dish. Students start to prepare and cook items simultaneously, learning about timing and kitchen organisation.

Key skills include weighing and measuring, use of the hob (boiling, simmering),...

This Licence to Cook tutorial is about becoming familiar with the cooking equipment, tools and ingredients. The differentiated slides cover:
• areas where you might be cooking
• basic tools and equipment
• using a knife safely to prepare fruit and vegetables
• basic techniques for preparing...

This Licence to Cook tutorial is about becoming more confident in cooking and developing essential skills. The differentiated slides cover:

• using the hob to boil and simmer
• using a kettle to measure boiling water safely
• draining hot water away from pasta
• an all-in-one white sauce...

This Licence to Cook tutorial is about gaining confidence with cooking and developing essntial skills. The differentiated slides cover:

• using small electrical equipment, e.g. whisk
• handling raw meat safely
• preparing an onion
• using a knife safely to dice
• preparing chillies,...

This Licence to Cook practical session introduces students to the safe use of the oven, as well as consolidating the use of other pieces of equipment. During this session, students make either fruity flapjacks or tropical granola bars. These recipes have been chosen as they use the oven and/or the hob and require...

In this activity, students learn about heat transfer from jet engine turbine blades. The blades reach temperatures as high as 1000 ºC. How do the blades cool, and how do scientists measure the rate of cooling at such high temperatures?

This activity, suitable for a cross-STEM project day or series of lessons, focuses on how information can be provided to travellers on the London Underground. Students are asked to consider user needs – what information would they need to see, and how might their requirements be communicated? A deep understanding...

This presentation is a step by step guide to AppShed.  AppShed is a free online tool, that allows students to create mobile apps for iOS and Android. This PowerPoint scaffolds the production of a film information app, but could easily be adapted for another project. The resource is aimed at students aged between 11...

This resource develops the concept of a mathematical understanding of slope. This is done through linking students’ intuitive understandings of steepness to a more precise mathematical calculation of slope.

The resource begins by presenting students with four cards showing line segments, and a further four...

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...
