Materials and their properties

Go with the flow cover

Neil Dixon reviews this collection of videos, animations and worksheets Peter Hollamby 

Produced by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP), Go with the flow is a collection of videos, animations and worksheets designed to help students understand the principles of floating, sinking, density, viscosity and Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Most of the resources are aimed at 11-14-year olds, but some of them will be of particular interest to more able students at KS3, or to KS4 students. 

The contents of the CD-ROM can be run direct from the disk, loaded onto the PC's hard drive, or networked for use by a whole class. The resources are well organised and the interface is intuitive.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
