The ‘Experimenting with Industry’ series was published in the mid-1980s when it presented industry-related science practicals for schools. It was developed as part of a 'teachers into industry' project organised by The Association for Science Education (ASE) on behalf...
Students investigate the properties of materials used for cooking utensils in order to collect quantitative data. For example, if testing for thermal conductivity they should gain a value for the rate at which heat flows through a cross-sectional area of material. Students should also find out if...
The Institute of Physics Schools and Colleges Lecture has been delivered by a series of acclaimed physics communicators, throughout the UK, since 1993. Topics are explained using a wide range of visual aids and the one hour lectures are accessible to students aged 14 years old and above. They are designed to tie in...
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these case studies describe work done by practitioners to disseminate knowledge. The academic study of KTT recognises that sharing learning is much more than simply moving information from ‘A’ to ‘B’; the successful transfer of knowledge and technology...
