Frozen Oceans: GCSE Geography
This resource provides two data case studies based on oceans topics for GCSE Geography, introducing ocean acidification and sea ice thickness in order to develop students’ understanding of the issues and putting them in the context of extreme field research. The lessons relate to the 2009-2011 Catlin Arctic Survey expeditions…
Biology - Statistical Tests in Medicine
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that if a link is suspected between a risk factor and an illness, statistical methods can be used to test whether such a link exists. Topic areas covered are: • Statistical…
Physics - Keeping the Coffee Warm
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics for Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that coffee cools gradually because it is hotter than room temperature and heat is lost to the room. Mixing the coffee with milk also cools it but this effect is instant. Topic…
Biodiversity and Evolution (Age 14-16)
Produced by ARKive, these materials encourage students to gain an understanding of biodiversity, evolution and Darwin’s theory of natural selection. By investigating biodiversity and the process of evolution students learn how traits beneficial for survival are selected for and genetically passed on to successive generations. Students…
Recording Plankton Data
This Cape Farewell video clip shows how plankton data is recorded and used as evidence in scientific research. Activity H - Plankton data is based on a spreadsheet which students used to answer questions and look for patterns in data about plankton. The activity is designed to consolidate, practice and develop the students’…
Nuffield Advanced Science: Book of Data (Second Edition)
The revised edition of the Nuffield Advanced Science Book of Data was based on the first edition. However there were many changes because of feedback from users, changes in syllabuses, and the availability of better sources of data. The content was changed. Conversion tables and tables of mathematical functions were no longer…
