RSC: Ideas and Evidence
This collection from the Royal Society of Chemistry provides a wide range of activities to develop students' ability to think critically about experimental work, handle uncertain data, and appreciate the creative nature of scientific discovery. The resources include books and student activities.
Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI)
BGCI is an international organisation that exists to ensure the world-wide conservation of threatened plants, the continued existence of which are intrinsically linked to global issues including poverty, human well-being and climate change.
Triple Science Support Programme
Since 2007, LSN has been helping schools, managers and teachers plan, develop and deliver Triple Science GCSEs through the Triple Science Support Programme. The programme is run by LSN and offers schools training, consultancy, networking opportunities, resources and publications.
Hamilton Trust
The Hamilton Trust provide innovative and engaging learning materials for primary school children in the areas of Maths and Science as well as broader topic themes. This collection contains a sample of some of their materials.
Practical Action
Practical Action is a development charity who uses simple technology to fight poverty. The learning resources in this collection look at how issues such as climate change and the need for renewable energy can be tackled.
Mechanics in Action Project
The Mechanics in Action Project helped teachers explore the use of practical investigations in mechanics. It aimed to make the subejct more interesting and accessible by providing exciting ideas for experienced teachers and support for those who lacked confidence in the subject.
Badger Science
Badger Publishing has a fast-growing list of publications. These samples cover the science curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2, as well as assessing pupil's progress at Key Stage 3.
Improving Learning in Mathematics
The Standards Unit: Improving Learning in Mathematics resources were produced as a response to the Smith report. The resources use "Active learning" approaches for post-16 mathematics.
SATIS 16-19
The SATIS 16-19 project was set up by the Association for Science Education in September 1987 to build on the success of the Science and Technology in Society (SATIS) project which had already published a hundred units for 14-16 year olds.
SAPS: Practical Activities
A range of ideas for practical activities that engage young people with plant science and molecular biology. In many cases there is detailed background information for teachers and technicians, and questions to stimulate discussion with and between students.
Science In a Social CONtext (SISCON)
Published by the ASE in 1983, SISCON emphasised the processes by which scientists find things out rather than presenting science as a body of knowledge. This was also an influential project because of its exploration of some interactions between science, technology and society.
Science in Society
A 1981 project which set out to bring non-specialist scientific literacy to the post-16 curriculum, Science in Society was one of the first high-profile UK science courses to include topics with wide political implications.
Nature of Science
The Nature of Science is a collection of illustrated stories from the history of science in 40-50 page A5 booklets edited by Joan Solomon. The stories illustrate the thinking and theory building processes of science.
SATIS
The Association for Science Education set up the SATIS project in 1984, to help teachers relate school science to its social and technological contexts.The units are a model for developing topical lessons to show applications of science, and illustrate aspects of ‘How science works'.
TI-Nspire
Materials to support the use of the TI-Nspire and enrich the classroom experience. The materials include STEM activities with TI-Nspire.
Nuffield Primary Design & Technology
The Nuffield Foundation began supporting design & technology in 1990 by establishing the Nuffield Design & Technology Project. The project's approach focused on 'combining the intellectual with the practical'. A wide range of curriculum materials were produced that work well in the classroom.
Mathematics Enhancement Programme (MEP)
The Mathematics Enhancement Programme has been developed over the past few at the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching. It set out to implement in UK schools the findings of international research. The scheme of work for each year is split into two parts, A and B.
NLN Materials
The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a wide range of subject and topic areas.
Earth Science Teachers' Association Resources
The Earth Science Teachers' Association have produced a wide range of resources for use by primary, secondary and post-16 teachers and students. Consisting of a range of printed materials, they include teacher guidance as well as classroom resources.
Chemical Industry Education Centre
CIEC project officers have created over 80 publications for use by teachers and students. They show how science works in real-life contexts and demonstrate how the chemical industry is relevant to modern society.
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.
NRICH
The NRICH Project aims to enrich the mathematical experiences of all learners with a variety of different materials including problems, articles and games, for teachers and learners from ages 5 to 19 years. All the problems have teachers' notes, hints and solutions.
5/5- Publication year: 2000 - 2009
Shell Centre
The Shell Centre has produced a range of innovative teaching materials for mathematics education, together with research publications and tests. Most of these were developed at the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at the University of Nottingham, UK.
Subtangent
Subtangent is a website of free interactive mathematics resources. The collection includes interactive investigations, games activities to test mathematical knowledge and resources for printing.
