This case study describes David Topping’s career path in environmental research, investigating how tiny atmospheric particles influence our climate and air quality. Some research can take place almost entirely in a laboratory, whilst other studies look at complicated interactions that are vast in scale or that take...
This Catalyst article describes how the human body is affected by low atmospheric pressure at high altitudes. The article looks at the dangers that await the unwary traveller and explains how, if people understand their bodies, they can avoid the worst problems of life at high altitudes.
This article is from...
These articles explore how life on earth began, consider the importance of carbon in our biology and whether there might be an alternative. |
By using a constant head apparatus or similar you will investigate the shape of a water path projected through the gravitational field of the Earth to find the acceleration due to gravity. This would benefit from using slo-mo filming or photography, or even to introduce students to a travelling microscope.

From the UK Space Agency, this issue of Space:UK magazine contains news and features on: * Meet the UK space scientists and engineers at the heart of a mission to map the Milky Way. * How UK built satellites are helping to save lives. * The UK physics teacher going to the end of the Earth. * Working on the cameras...
This issue of Catalyst includes the following articles:
This article investigates some ideas for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere and slowing down the effects of climate change....
Produced by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), these naked Scientist podcasts look at physics questions in an amusing but also informative way.
The oldest light in the Universe • The Planck mission which measures the cosmic microwave background. • Mapping the surface of...
This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at what UK farmers are doing to protect the country's vanishing bumblebees, butterflies and other pollinating insects; how scientists are trying to figure out how many types of microbes there are on our...
These learning objectives were produced to help teachers plan for progression for students aged 11-16, as part of the National Strategies Framework for secondary science.
