Vigilance Behaviour in Barnacle Geese
This resource looks at the vigilance behaviour of barnacle geese grazing in winter. Throughout the winter young geese learn where best to feed and how to survive by foraging with their family groups. When an individual is foraging it has to balance the risk of feeding with the risk of possible predation....
Viking Raid
This paired-programming activity from the Barefoot Computing project focusses on sequences in algorithms and programs.
Children create an animation of a Viking raid – ideally they will have previously studied Vikings...
Villages, roads and farms
In this puzzle, students are given diagrams showing different layouts of villages, roads and farms - acting as vertices, edges and regions. Students are given a series of rules and challenged to draw maps that meet a variety of different conditions.
This series looks at how forensic scientific techniques have been applied to real-life crimes to help solve them. Each case study starts with a description of the crime before moving on to describe attempts by...
These animations from the Wellcome Trust, illustrate that, unable to replicate without using the cellular machinery of more complex organisms, viruses invade and hijack their host's cells, resulting in serious disease.
The animations use the examples of Dengue virus to show how an RNA virus replicates using...
Virolution is the product of Dr Frank Ryan's decade of research at the frontiers of this new science - now called viral symbiosis - and the amazing revolution that it has had in these few years. As scientists begin...
The Virtual Body concentrates on essential human biology. Areas covered include the circulatory, sensory, and immune systems, homeostasis and genetics.
