This lesson develops the concept of calculating the volume of compound objects. In particular, students enhance their understanding of:
- Computing measurements using formulas.
- Decomposing compound shapes into simpler ones.
- Using right triangles and their properties to solve real-world...
Explore Your Universe is a partnership between the UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres (ASDC) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The vision for the project is to inspire a new sense of excitement amongst young people and their families through telling the amazing stories and...
In this activity students discover how a Tanzanian initiative reduced iodine deficiency diseases, and look at lessons the UK can learn from the example of this African nation. According to recent reports, up to 70% of British young people do not take in enough iodine. Iodine deficiency causes goiter and brain...
This is one of a suite of continuing professional development (CPD) units from the Department for Education covering the five ‘key ideas’ at Key Stage Three (cells, interdependence, particles, forces and energy). It links with the...
This package of Core Maths resources introduce students to exponential growth and decay by exploring exponential functions, compound interest for savings and depreciation of assets.
Exponential Growth and Decay: Teacher Guidance
This teacher guidance contains information including...
This lesson develops the concept of modelling linear and exponential growth. In particular students will enhance their understanding of:
- Translating between descriptive, algebraic, tabular, and graphical representation of the functions.
- Recognizing how and why a quantity changes per unit...
In this SATIS Revisited resource students use real data to determine the cause of illness in cattle on a farm. They analyse the animals' diets to find that the illness is caused by mineral deficiency.
This unit has...
This task involves investigating various aspects of interest and depreciation, including compound interest and the effects of calculating compound interest over different periods of time (e.g. monthly vs. weekly). The task requires...
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind bicycle speedometers, including circle properties and compound measures.
"Bicycle speedometers can only provide accurate...
This resource, produced by SEPNet and Queen Mary University of London, uses Lego to represent the building blocks of matter. Different colour Lego bricks are assigned to different quarks and leptons. The quarks can be put together to make hadrons, such as protons and neutrons. The blocks can also be used to show...
The main aim of this resource is for students to understand the impact that roads can have on heathland habitats, both in terms of anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and habitat fragmentation.
The resource provides practical, scientific investigations without the need to organise a field trip. The...
Supported by the Wellcome Trust and developed by the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England, Meet the Gene Machine is a fun, creative and comprehensive teaching package allowing teachers and young people to discuss the ethical and social issues inherent in the field of genetics. Each '...
In this Nuffield Foundation activity students use secondary data to investigate how changes in technology have led to improved performance in cycling. They research footwear to see how materials of different properties can be combined for specific purposes and carry out a practical investigation to define the...
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind revolving doors, including circle properties, estimation, compound measures and mathematical modeling.
"Revolving doors...
On December 15th 2015 European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake launched on the six month Principia mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Principia was named after Isaac Newton’s Naturalis Principia Mathematica, describing the principal laws of motion and gravity.
The education and inspiration of...
