Let's Compare Feet!
This resource contains a starter activity in which Key Stage Four which explores data analysis and what conclusions can and cannot be drawn from scatter graphs. This can be used to discuss correlation, trends, continuous and discontinuous data, extrapolation and lines of best fit.
Thanks for the Memory
In this activity, students investigate the three main types of memory - sensory, short-term and long-term. An explanation is given for each one and linked to a memory experiment. Students are also given five memory tasks to complete which include looking at factors that affect peoples' memories and ways in which to...
What Happens to Your Empty Drinks Cans? *suitable for home teaching*
Using real data from CensusAtSchool 2000/2001, this resource explores issues around the disposal or recycling of the empty aluminium cans in schools. Students discuss the issue, calculate statistics, draw graphs and look further into what happens to empty cans in their own school.

An introduction to waves
This video provides an introduction to waves which looks at the differences between types of wave. It would make a good revision video which discusses mechanical and electromagnetic waves with examples of each, with how particles and fields fit into the topic. They presenter also demonstrates the difference...
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
This video demonstrates how the gravitational potential energy of a skateboarder is converted into kinetic energy as they move down a ramp. It discusses efficiency and how you can calculate the energy mathematically at both stages. It also ties into SUVAT and demonstrates how an objects acceleration due to...
Derived Units
This video for a-level and GCSE high ability students looks at how we derive units. It looks at why speed can be measured in m/s and then goes onto to look at the units for force using F=ma and also why we use Joules for energy. It also discusses the seven main base units and how all units are derived from these...
Distance -Time and Speed
With this a-level video tutorial, the presenter talks about how we get the equation speed = distance / time and then looks at the differences between a distance / time and a speed / time graph. It also demonstrates what the area under the graph represents as well as the gradient. This can be followed by the...
