This Cape Farewell video clip shows scientists back at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton, analysing the samples of phytoplankton and zooplankton taken in the Arctic, identifying species and counting their abundance.

Activity G - Plankton analysis is...

This MEP resource from CIMT is taken from text book 8A which covers the mathematics scheme of work for the first half of year 8.

Data analysis covers: frequency tables for discrete ungrouped data, mean, median, mode and range.

The initial file forms part of the textbook. The activities sheet, extra...

This collection of Nuffield Maths resources explores Data Analysis. The demand is roughly equivalent to that in GCE A level. 

This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on analysing existing products.

Product analysis allows designers to understand how...

This activity allows pupils to learn how to analyse samples on Mars. Students are given the opportunity to use targeted information in areas of astrobiology and geology, to work out what their rovers have found on Mars surface and to think like a geologist as they investigate stratigraphy (layers or rocks) using...

This activity allows pupils to learn how to analyse samples on Mars. Pupils are given the opportunity to use targeted information to work out what their rovers have found on Mars surface and to think like a geologist as they investigate stratigraphy (layers or rocks) using cakes and confectionary samples. This...

Purpose: As an alternative to traditional methods of investigating motion in the classroom, such as ticker tape timers or light gates, it is simpler and cheaper to analyse video clips of the movement of objects. Cameras in mobile phones and tablets can record a brief video which when imported into a video analysis...

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module began by exploring three questions related to chemical reactions: How much?, How fast? And How far? and went on to show how a model of atomic structure can account for the periodic table. Applications of chemistry related to...

This book, from Unilever, focuses on the science of industrial processes. The book begins with the example of the manufacture of coconut monoethanolamide – a material which stabilises foam in surface active systems, to discuss the common unit operations of mixing, pumping, filtering, evaporation, distillation and...

This is one of the 14 Background Books published for Stage III of the Nuffield Chemistry Sample Scheme. The books were highly illustrated and designed to be attractive.

This book starts with a story of the discovery of a new solvent and the stages in the development of a new process to make it on a large...

Work done in this Nuffield 13 - 16 module followed from the S unit called Metals. This X unit provided enough material for eight double periods. It could be selected to complete either a Science or a Further Science course. The teachers’ guide included 13 worksheets to...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that rainwater is naturally acidic.
• Recognise that rain can cause a weathering effect by chemically reacting with rock.
• Recognise that types of rock will weather...
