Scans on the Brain
This Mathematics Matters case study, produced by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, looks at how mathematical research contributes to the development of new medical imaging technology. Brain scans play a vital role in the treatment of many serious medical conditions, but decoding the signals inside...
This series investigates the more grisly aspects of natural history. Special x-ray pages enable readers to see how the internal structure of an animal corresponds to its external appearance.

Scatter diagrams
This task assesses understanding of scatter diagrams and lines of best fit. A scatter diagram is presented that shows the scores achieved in two tests.
The task involves plotting a point to show the average score for each test, drawing a line of best fit, and then assessing five statements about the scatter...

Scents and sensibilities
This resource supports learning about animals, including humans at primary level. Children are introduced to the banded mongoose, an animal which uses its sense of smell to recognise other banded mongooses. They then play a game to test how good they are at using smell to identify each other. Finally, they explore...
Scepticism and Science
This topic guide, produced for the Debating Matters competition, considers scepticism in relation to the debate over climate change. Some commentators have concluded that scientists need to be more candid about the degrees of uncertainty in climate change predictions. Others believe that climate change sceptics...
