Radiation in the Environment
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Radiation is all around us and is part of our everyday life. Much of the radiation that bombards us comes from natural sources, though we are...
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.
Radiation Math
This series of activities from NASA take a mathematical approach to looking at radiation, and will make the student familiar with many forms of radiation, how it is measured, and what different doses can lead to over time. They are intended as supplementary problems for students looking for additional challenges in...
Radiation Officer
Produced by Teachers TV, and part of the Great Lesson Starters series, this video shows how a secondary physics teacher uses role play to liven-up her lesson on radiation.
She starts by asking her students to...
Radiation vs radioactive atoms
This video discusses the concerns people have about radioactivity and shows that, rather than the radioactivity itself, it is the radioactive atoms that are of greater concern. Radioactivity (alpha and beta particles) is relatively harmless unless it enters the body.

Pathways through Science provides strategies for tackling the problem of differentiation through a versatile series of activities. The resources have been designed to match the proposed NEA/WJEC/ULEAC modular GCSE, but can also be organized for use with any other GCSE programme.
Each of the 13 modules...
Radiations and Radiating 14-16
From the Institute of Physics, this resource provides extensive teacher guidance and suggested classroom activities to support the teaching of: * Radiating from source to absorber * Photon shift energy * Multiple contributions * Radiations that ionise * Sources of ionising radiation Each topic is explored from the...
Communicating Today looks at important forms of communication in the 21st Century and the technology and processes behind them. Each book covers how information is created, sent and received, and why we use that form of communication.
Radio and Audio
Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents and presentations, or for use with an interactive whiteboard. Mainly simple line drawings, they can be cut and pasted into documents and image processing applications. The images in this resource are related to...
