Avalanches This is a project for STEM clubs for Key Stage 2 and 3 students. Mathematicians and scientists use experiments to model what happens in avalanches, so they can understand them better. In these investigations, students will model an avalanche, collect data and display their findings with graphs. Student worksheets and teacher notes are provided.
Plus Teacher Package: On thin ice - maths and climate change in the Arctic This package for Key Stage 4 students is the result of a collaboration between Plus and Arctic Survey Education. The material consists of three "toolkits" focussing on some of the science that underlies the Catlin Arctic Survey and gives you the chance to see familiar science and maths applied to real-life problems. Each toolkit is made up of a background article and two worksheets with guidance notes for teachers. The overview article can be read on its own, or used as motivational material for the two worksheets. The worksheets are designed to promote group discussion of the topics, as well as provide hands-on activities.
