When you look into the hole in the front of the box, it looks black inside. No light gets into the box, so nothing is reflected back into your eyes. That’s why you can’t see any colours when you look around a darkened room; there is no light to reflect. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 2-11b) for Second (P5-P7).
This resource contains a workshop with activities about the structure and functions of the brain and what happens when it goes wrong. It also contains short biographies of the two co-authors and details of their academic involvement in psychology. It is intended for learners studying the Scottish National 5 Psychology curriculum. This resource is for teachers to use in Sciences, psychology for Third/Fourth/Senior.
The principle behind this exhibit is that our brains have evolved to immediately process verbal information, so much so that this information will dominate the interpretation of the list of words, even when we are trying simply to read out the colours of the words. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 2-12b / SCN 3-12a) for Second / Third (P5 – S3).
An eight-part project about sea level change since the ice age. Covers glaciation, global warming and isostasy. Includes lesson plans, presentations, workbooks and a template for a timeline poster to illustrate the content of the eight sessions. This resource is for teachers to use in Geography/sciences IDL for Third/Fourth.
The human visual system has evolved over many tens of millions of years to operate in a world that is mostly lit by white light. Systems in the brain, working entirely unconsciously, compensate for changes in illumination. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 1-12b / SCN 2-11b / SCN 2-12b / SCN 3-12a) for First / Second / Third (P2 – S3).
This resource is a set of 5 lesson plans with slides, an experiment (with worksheets for analysing the results) and assessment items. The target audience for this resource is for learners aged between 14 and 16 years. This resource is for teachers and learners to use in N4/5 Biology for SQA N4/5.
Your eyes normally see roughly the same image, with only a small difference between each eye. Even these differences are used by your brain to work out distances to objects. Your brain has evolved to quickly combine these two similar images, to form a 3D scene. This resource is for teachers, parents and carers to use in Sciences (SCN 2-12b / SCN 3-12a) for Second / Third (P5 – S3).
Teacher and student resource pack covering the effects and causes of cardiovascular disease and medical methods for preventing it. This resource is for teachers/learners to use in Human Biology for Higher.

A power point resource for teachers of biology, geography and environmental science for pupils studying at Advanced Higher (AS-Level, and above), and early FE/HE levels. Of use for helping to achieve a basic understanding and application of ‘central tendency’ in fieldwork, assignments and examination questions. It complements the Guide to Descriptive Statistics in Geosciences. This resource is for Self guided learning for learners and teachers to use in Geography, Biology, Data Science for Advanced Higher.
