Sure Start Children’s Centres: Building Brighter Futures
This is a resource published by the Department for Children, Schools and Families explaining the role and purpose of Sure Start Children’s Centres. It summarises what the Sure Start Centres do, how they do it and explains how they are intended to close the achievement gap between the most disadvantaged children in England and the rest.
The impact of Sure Start Local Programmes on Three Year Olds and Their Families
This resource is a detailed report with extensive appendices describing the research conducted as part of the national evaluation of Sure Start and analysing the findings from this work.
Ensuring the Best Start in Life: Targeting versus Universality in Early Childhood Development
This is a research paper published by the Institute for Research on Public Policy – an independent Canadian national non-profit organisation. This report identifies the strategies for enhancing the development of vulnerable children in Canada and focusing on early intervention programmes. The report explores four policy issues influencing early childhood education centres in Canada. The report is supplemented by American findings of initiatives involved in providing early childhood care.

Sci-tutors: Life Processes and Living Things: Cells and Cell Functions
The emphasis of this article is on the conceptual changes needed by learners (tutors, teachers and their pupils) to come to an understanding of living things. This covers the material useful at KS1-4, and provides access to the key ideas of the topic and provides suggestions for appropriate practical experiences to support learning.
Sci-tutors: Life processes and Living Things: Green Plants and Organisms
The article from the Sci-tutors website provides an outline of the expectations of the National Curriculum regarding green plants at Key Stages 1 - 4 and explores the various alternative conceptions held by learners.
Phase separation in solid solution upon cooling: vial projection
The vial containing a mixture of cyclohexane and aniline cooling from 35º, has been filmed perpendicular to the direction of the laser light (left to right). When the critical temperature is reached and the mixture goes from a single phase to two phases, the spot of light on the screen is disrupted as the phases separate. The spot 'flickers' and then becomes totally diffuse. It will eventually form a single spot again once the transition is completed and the two chemicals have completely separa
Phase separation in solid solution upon cooling: laser beam projection
As video "Phase separation in solid solution upon cooling: vial projection", but filmed looking into the laser light after it has passed through the vial (i.e. the video is of the laser beam as projected onto a screen): The vial contains a mixture of cyclohexane and aniline cooling from 35º. When the critical temperature is reached and the mixture goes from a single phase to two phases, the spot of light on the screen is disrupted as the phases separate. The spot 'flickers' and then becomes tot
Particle Technology- Centrifugal Separation The seventh lecture in the module Particle Technology, delivered to second year students who have already studied basic fluid mechanics. Centrifugal Separation covers both sedimenting and filtering centrifuges as well as hydrocyclones. Adaptation of the gravity settling and conventional filtration models, to account for the conceptual centrifugal acceleration, i

Victims or Saviours – Can Plants Protect Us Against Global Warming?
UCL Lunch Hour Lectures are open and free to the public and take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Darwin Lecture Theatre, UCL, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT. They will resume in Autumn 2008. In the meantime, a number are available below.
Stem Cell Therapies are no More Drugs Than Soufflés are Fast Food
Stemcell discoveries make great news stories, but their actual translation into routine clinical practice is still a major hurdle. Is it reasonable to expect the big pharmaceutical companies to manufacture these living therapies or is the paradigm shift from today’s drugs to ‘living cells as therapies’ overwhelming? Would McDonald’s ever put delicate soufflés on their fast-food menus? This lecture will use examples from current cell and tissue-engineered clinical therapies to illustrate
Cell Biology and Cancer
This curriculum supplement brings into the classroom new information about some of the exciting medical discoveries being made at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their effects on public health. This set is being distributed to teachers around the country free of charge by the NIH to improve science literacy and to foster student interest in science. The first three supplements in the series are designed for use in senior high school science classrooms: Emerging and Re-emerging Infect
Inside the Cell
This brochure explores the smallest form of life: the cell. Discover what's happening inside your body. See basic structures that let your cells accomplish their tasks. Learn about functions shared by virtually all cells: making fuel and proteins, transporting materials, and disposing of wastes. Find out how cells specialize to get their unique jobs done -- and how cells reproduce, age, and die.
