Polar Coordinates and Curves
This file has worksheets showing seven polar coordinate diagrams. The first allows students to explore simple polar coordinates by either inputting values for r and θ or stating those values for computer generated points. This is followed by two interactive sheets...
This selection of resources were created as part of the Polar Explorer programme in 2019, funded by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and managed by STEM Learning Ltd. The aim of the programme was to highlight the commissioning and building of the polar research ship RRS Sir David...
Polar explorer activity pack
This pack contains all the teaching notes and resources that schools needed to take part in the Polar Explorer Programme run by the National STEM Learning Network in 2019. Although the programme has now finished the resources and activities that were created can still enthuse and engage pupils about STEM subjects...
Polar Explorer Careers Booklet
This resource provides an opportunity for pupils 7-11 to find out about some of the STEM careers linked to RRS Sir David Attenborough, a new ship which will be one of the most advanced polar research ships in the world. It contains six classroom activities that link to curriculum topics including: forces,...
Did you know that Antarctica contains 90% of the Earth's freshwater? Or that amputation is the only cure for frostbite! Narrative text, fact boxes and dramatic imagery place the reader in the role of a traveller...

Find out what's involved in becoming a polar scientist from a top researcher in the field. You'll find out about the scientist's heroes, the equipment and skills she uses, and the challenges of conducting research and experiments in sub-zero temperatures!
Polarisation of waves
This video explains the difference between unpolarised light and plane polarised light in terms of using a slit to eliminate unwanted electric wave orientations. It is a continuation of Electromagnetic waves: why they are transverse....
