Antibiotics: From Bacterial and Fungal Cells to Healthcare
From the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), this student factsheet looks at the development of antibiotics, how they work, bacterial drug resistance and how the risks of developing resistance to antibiotics can be reduced.
BBSRC is a part of Research Councils UK (RCUK).
Antibubbles
This lesson links aspects of states of matter to the use of bubbles to deliver drugs to cancerous tissue, and is appropriate to students aged 12- 14. Most children will be familiar with soapy bubbles consisting of gas surrounded by a film of moisture. This lesson looks at the formation of bubbles that contain...
Anticaking agents
This resource can be used to demonstrate an understanding of the use of anti-caking agents that allow powdered food products to flow more freely through machinery. The action of an anti-caking agent in cocoa powder is investigated in one activity and a case study using real results from an industrial setting...
Antifungals: Inhibition of Fungal Growth
Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), this resource encourages students to investigate the effects of various antifungal treatments on the growth of yeast.

Antimatter explores a strange mirror world, where particles have identical yet opposite properties to those that make up the familiar matter we encounter everyday; where left becomes right, positive becomes negative...
Antimatter - Matter's Hidden Shadow
This poster looks at the nature of antimatter. One side of the poster discusses Dirac’s prediction and the subsequent discovery of antimatter, in the form of the positron. The difficulty of the storage of antimatter is explained and the use of positrons in medical imaging (PET scanners) is described. The other side...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
Antioxidants
This resource can be used to demonstrate an understanding of the role of antioxidants in food processing to delay oxidation. A data based activity analyses types of fat in foods and an investigation into the browning of apples under varying conditions allows a quantitative measure of the oxidation reaction.
'Read and learn' is a collection of non-fiction books that help young readers discover and understand the world around them. The 'Under my feet' books visit the homes of animals that live underground and the unique...
