This part of the TRUMP Astrophysics resource package dealt with the formation, evolution and 'death' of stars. Like all other parts of the TRUMP package, this part contains study notes (self-study material for teachers), teaching notes and photocopiable student sheets...

In this activity, students carry out research into the development and application of hydrogen fuel cells. Students are asked to produce a presentation or podcast which includes:

*An explanation of what hydrogen fuel...

This teachers' guide from the Nuffield Foundation was written to accompany Study Guide I and the related Practical Guides 1-4. Each chapter begins with a review of aims and contents. Following this, the first part of the chapter sets out the assumptions and principles...

These resources were developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in collaboration with five universities involved in initial teacher education, as part of a Key Stage 3 National Strategy project. Originally produced as a CD-ROM, the materials aimed to provide suggestions and activities for teaching about...

Keys to Chemistry Book 2 continued from Book 1 and took the study of chemistry in secondary school up to thw now discontinued 'O' level standard. The book is a reflection of chemistry teaching in the 1970s, following the Nuffield developments in the previous decade.

Contents

1. Particles in motion...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* Chemical aspects of some food processes in the home.
* Chemical aspects of food processing in industry.

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about genomes at A level. Curriculum links include genetic sequencing, DNA profiling, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), electrophoresis

In this demonstration of a displacement reaction, a piece of foil in the shape of a Christmas tree is placed in lead nitrate solution. Within a few minutes the tree becomes covered with sparkling crystals of lead.

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for acids and redox reactions at A level. Curriculum links include acids, redox, titration, calculations, oxidation, reduction, and formulae.

Although produced to support the teaching of OCR AS/A Level Chemistry A specifications (...

Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science. This case study looks at how two schools enabled students to observe reactions too hazardous to perform in the classroom. One activity was a video and animation of...

The Teaching of Modern Physics was written by the Modern Physical Sciences Committee of the Science Masters Association. It includes demonstration and class experiments, and suggested equipment for teachers for the following topics:

- Evidence for the particulate nature of matter
- Experimental...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching about Group 2 and Group 17 (halogen) trends and reactions at A level. Curriculum links include trends, reactivity, chlorine, displacement, and redox.

This chemistry extension module of the Salters' Science course revises and extends students’ ideas about the structure and properties of water. It deals with hardness of water, the action of soap and other detergents and properties of emulsions.

This Nuffield Pathways Through Science module covered structure, bonding, as well as an introduction to quantitative chemistry with calculations based on amounts in moles. The topic was presented in three episodes:
Mm 1: Plastics
Mm 2: Metals
Mm 3:...
