RADAR

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on radar technology. Students explore the how to build structures, then design and build their own radar tower.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

Speed record

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics behind travelling at speed. Students will explore the maths and science of calculating speed before investigating vortices created by wing tips.
