Data Handling
Virtual Maths resources are provided to encourage innovative teaching and learning of functional mathematics.
Heat Analysis gives students an insight in to the importance of the materials used within the construction industry and their effect on running costs to the occupier of a property.
Light Survey is a practical data handling investigation which compares readings taken from a specific environment, in natural and artificial light sources, for comparison against general guidlines.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Heat Analysis
This resource from Virtual Maths investigates heat loss from a building. The introduction looks at fabric heat loss (external walls, windows, roof etc.) and ventilation heat loss through cracks and openings in the external building fabric (around window frames, door, etc.). Formulae for each type of heat loss are given and students…
Light Survey
This is a practical activity from Virtual Maths where students collect information to be used in a data handling investigation. Students will need to have access to light meters, which are used to measure light readings in natural and artificial conditions at 1m2 intervals. These readings are repeated and students take the average…
