Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science.

Particles and their behaviour are a hard-to-teach component of chemistry, not least because these are difficult concepts to visualise. This case study...

In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students consider both hadrons and leptons in particle reactions. They must take account of both conservation of lepton number and conservation of baryon number.

The activities include:
* applying conservation rules
* considering the...

This experiment from the IET helps children learn about oxidation, chemical reactions, acids and alkalis by testing a range of liquids on fruit slices left out for Rudolph on Christmas Eve. The resources provided include full lesson guidance, as well as a challenging maze puzzle to support assessment and increase...

This concept cartoon focuses on temperature change in chemical reactions. Concept cartoons provide an approach to teaching, learning and assessment in science, they feature cartoon-style drawings showing different characters arguing about everyday situations. They are designed to intrigue, to provoke discussion and...

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...

In this activity from Nuffield, students are asked to develop an experiment to measure and test people's reaction times. They can use any equipment available in the school/classroom, and will need to consider the reliability of their experiment and how any data collected will be analysed and presented.

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 activities, produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), are based on a BASF chemical plant at Seal Sands, Middlesbrough. They enable students to see how and why chemical reactions are controlled in a chemical plant. The materials contain full teacher guidance, student notes and...

This activity includes a game-based approach to measuring reaction speed. Fast reflexes are vital to astronauts who may need to deal with rapidly escalating incidents and high-speed projectiles.

The effect of distraction on reaction speed is investigated – students collect multiple readings and take averages...

With this simulation students can explore the conservation of mass and balance chemical equations. Sample learning objectives include: *Balance a chemical equation. *Recognize that the number of atoms of each element is conserved in a chemical reaction. Describe the difference between coefficients and subscripts in...

This chemistry extension module from the Salters’ Science course deals with the energy changes which accompany chemical reactions. Photosynthesis is considered as the fundamental source of energy to sustain life process, and respiration as the mechanism for coupling the energy to body processes. ‘Calorific values’...

These teachers' notes from Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS) describe how students can investigate the trichomes on the surface of vascular plants, including hairs and glandular hairs, using a microscope.

...

This Nuffield Advanced Chemistry Special Study enabled students to see something of the scope of the field of chemical engineering, and to appreciate its dependence upon chemical principles The objectives were to show:
*that chemical engineers are concerned with...

A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. The story-line for this unit is the whole world market for manufactured chemicals and the need to transport them safely to where they are needed. This shows the importance of systems which convey concise,...

In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of reaction rates, and structure and bonding, to an exciting new context – the chemistry of interstellar space. Having watched an engaging animation, students work in groups to find out about the nature of interstellar space and its atoms, ions, and molecules. They...
