Energy Efficiency 1

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to research what they, as a school community, can do to save energy and reduce their carbon footprint.

The activity uses the...

Energy Efficiency 2

In this activity from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students work in teams to investigate the measures that could be applied to reduce the carbon footprint of their own school. They then prepare a presentation summarising their recommendations....

Let There Be Light - Introduction

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), involves investigating how photovoltaic cells are used and then using this technology to make a series of electronic circuits of increasing complexity. This could form the basis of a design and...

Let There Be Light - Extension

After investigating how photovoltaic cells are used and then making a series of electronic circuits of increasing complexity, students investigate some potential modifications to the circuits they have designed and made in the ‘Let there be light 2' activity.
