Learning outcomes
Global warming: are we responsible? Is our environmental impact damaging the planet? This unit examines the use of ozone depleting technology, the impact of fossil fuel use and explores how the development of technology can influence the direction of a society. From the Industrial Revolution to the present day find out how we have changed the planet.
2 High- to medium-enthalpy steam fields
Energy from sources other than fossil and nuclear fuels is to a large extent free of the concerns about environmental effects and renewability that characterise those two sources. Each alternative source supplies energy continually, whether or not we use it. This unit considers one of these alternative sources, geothermal energy derived from the interior heat of the Earth, and the potential for this alternative to supplant fossil and nuclear fuel use to power social needs fast enough to avoid t

5 – 14 Mathematics in Scotland: The relevance of intensive quantities
This resource is an ESRC Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) report on research into children’s understanding of intensive quantities. Intensive quantities, such as speed or density which are often expressed as fractions or ratios, are not a requirement of the Primary National Curriculum. The research aimed to establish whether it is necessary to teach intensive quantities to primary aged children in order to enhance their understanding of quantity.
A systematic review of the use of small-group discussions in science teaching with students aged 11-
Adopting EPPI protocols, this systematic review investigated the effects of using different stimuli (print materials, practical work, ICT, video/film) on students’ understanding of evidence in science lessons with students aged 11-18.

Reading Primary
Reading Primary I am doing an action research project on children's experiences of reading in primary school. I am working with Year 5/6 children to gain an insight into how they view the reading process. I have looked in a variety of education journals but I have not found anything that can help me. I would like to know what previous research has been done in this area and what activties I could do with children to gain an understanding of their views. Thanks in advance.

Geography Rivers
Geography Rivers I'm in my fourth year of university and am currently underway with my dissertation, which is looking at children's knowledge and understanding of rivers at lower and upper key stage 2, and the theorists involved. I've found some books on the subject from the university library. However, I'm struggling to find many journal articles relating to my work - I have found some but not many. Just wondering if you could point me in the right direction.
