This interactive resource supports the teaching of appraising by concentrating on one of the 8 elements of music - texture. The resource explains that texture is built up in layers. A variety of audio examples are provided to illustrate differences in texture. Pupils are given the opportunity to arrange a piece, selecting and deselecting layers to alter the texture and see how the piece builds. Pupils are also given the opportunity to compose their own piece using layers to build texture.

This interactive resource supports the teaching of appraising by concentrating on one of the 8 elements of music - pitch. Through careful and focussed listening they will identify differences in pitch. Visual illustrations are used to show different pitch patterns. The aim is to enable pupils to begin recognising subtle changes in pitch in order for them to appraise pieces of music more accurately.

This interactive resource supports the teaching of appraising by concentrating on one of the 8 elements of music - pace. The resource introduces the terms pace and tempo for describing the speed of music. Pupils are asked to listen carefully to musical extracts and identify differences in pace and how it affects the music. Pupils are encouraged to write a desciption of the pace within a piece of music using key terms. The aim is to enable pupils to begin recognising changes in pace and how it alters the mood of a piece, in order for them to appraise pieces of music more accurately.

This is a series of forty eight interactive appraising activities available for use in Key Stage 2. The activities have been divided into six separate sections, each one containing eight activities. •Vocal combination •Texture •Pace •Dynamics •Naming the instruments •Instrumental combination This resource has been designed primarily to encourage discussion / group work. However, extension tasks can be undertaken so that pupils can record their answers.

Looking at the ethics and opinions associated with this topic using presentations, worksheets with additional resources and materials.

6 interactive activities to support WJEC Biology 1, that can be used on a whiteboard with a whole class, or for individual study/revision. Topics include: * competition/adaptation, * inheritance * temperature regulation * natural selection.

This interactive whitboard lesson explains the principles of genetics and genetic crosses.

The Flipcharts included in this activity deal with DNA, genes, Mendel and genetic problems, cystic fibrosis, deciding the sex, genetic engineering and variation.

Interactive whiteborad activities. Looking at food chains & webs and the relationships between producers, consumers and decomposers.

This resource includes teacher notes and worksheets for investigating patterns at KS3. Students find a relationship between the number of boxes and the number of ways in which they can be stacked against the wall.

Pick's Theorem, In this interactive KS3 investigation students work out the area of shapes using different combinations of pins on the perimeter and inside the shape. Can you find a pattern? How will you work out if there is a general rule to finding the area of any polygon? Teachers guides and notes are included

Help get the penguin to safety on different numbers of ice flows. Is there a way of finding the minimum number of moves for any ice flow?

A short investigation to find the number of ways the net of a tetrahedron can be coloured using four different colours only once. The unit is split into three sections: How many ways can the net of a tetrahedron be coloured using four different colours only once? How many ways can the net of a tetrahedron be coloured if rotations aren’t allowed? How many ways can a 3D tetrahedron be coloured using four different colours only once?

These activities introduce pupils to a fully open ended maths investigation focusing on number patterns. There are detailed teacher notes aimed at non-maths specialist for support in the teaching of this topic. The unit is aimed at upper KS2 – KS3. It can be used as a transition project or as assessment of AT1. Other topics covered: Number

This is a simple open ended shape and space investigation focussing on the formula for the perimeter of a shape. This is an ideal unit to introduce younger KS2 children to maths investigation skills as the patterns are simple to spot. The unit can be used to assess AT1 or as a KS2/3 Transition project

These activities introduce pupils to a fully open ended maths investigation based on the famous Towers of Hanoi problem, focussing on number patterns. There are detailed teacher notes aimed at the non-maths specialist for support in the teaching of this topic. The unit is aimed at upper KS2 – KS3. It can be used as a transition project or as assessment of AT1. Other topics covered: Number

These activities introduce pupils to a fully open ended maths investigation focussing on triangular number patterns. There are detailed teacher notes aimed at the non-maths specialist for support in the teaching of this topic. The unit is aimed at upper KS2 – KS3. It can be used as a transition project or as assessment of AT1. Other topics covered: Number

This unit is made up of three mini interactive activities focusing on the properties of 3D shapes. The first activity is based on Euler’s theory. The pupils need to find a rule that links the faces, edges and vertices together. The interactive activity allows them to manipulate the shapes on screen to count the faces, edges and vertices. The second activity has them using their knowledge of the properties of 3D shapes to form a polyhedral chain. The third activity allows the pupils to investigate which edges will meet when a net folds to form a 3D shape.

This unit is made up of a number of mini activities. After finding the 12 pentominoes pupils use the shapes in the following activities: Find the symmetry and rotational symmetry of the shapes Investigate which pentominoes will tessellate without being rotated, then which will tessellate when rotated Fit the shapes into varying sizes of rectangles The unit contains pentomino shapes to download and print out.

Investigate how to work out the different number of painted faces for any size cube.
