Major Resources

These wide-ranging materials include interactive animations and print-based resources covering various science themes. The major resources are: Good to eat - an interactive resource that introduces nutrition, and offers students the chance to have their say on healthy eating. Electricity - an interactive...

Engage

Resources which reach outside of the classroom, including interviews with individuals in science-based careers and a forum for exchange facts and opinions with students in other countries.

Everywhere

These resources explore science through cross-curricular and whole-school activities.

Badger Secondary Maths Samples

These maths samples from Badger include lesson starters and main activities in the form of problem solving. The lesson starters have clear objectives linked to the Framework for Teaching Mathematics, a list of key words and questions. The starters can be used either to introduce an idea which then goes on to be that...

Stimulating Physics Programme (Pilot)

The pilot programme sought to increase students' uptake of physics through two distinct but complementary strands, 'Access' work with Higher Education Institutions, and 'Demand' work with clusters of schools. Access The Institute of Physics worked with Higher Education Institutions to improve the accessibility and...

Institute of Physics: Careers Clips

From the Institute of Physics, this collection of resources gives careers information for students, teachers and careers advisers. There is a set of video clips that follow the work of individual scientists as they show how physics is applied in their work. The video clips illustrate concepts in physics and how they...

Girls in Physics

Girls are under-represented in physics post-16. In 2006 the Institute of Physics published the results of a review that sought to identify causes of this serious issue. Following publication of the research findings, the Institute produced a teachers' guide and two video films that explored ways in which schools...

Test Yourself

These Subtangent resources use an interactive format to set 10 questions on topics such as properties of number, Pythagoras theorem, quadratic equations and function machines. Each of the activities contains 10 questions which increase in difficulty as the test progresses. Once completed students can check their...

Revise

These Subtangent resources are interactive and cover measuring length and angle, rotational symmetry, straight line graphs, linear equations, trigonometry, pie charts and frequency diagrams. Movies and diagrams are used to demonstrate important concepts in rotational symmetry, straight line graphs and frequency...

Simulations

These Subtangent resources contain a standard form calculator which will quickly change ordinary numbers into standard form and vice versa. There is also a simulation for probability outcomes involving coins and dice, as well as an interactive animation to demonstrate placement of the median and quartiles of a...
