National Science Learning Network: STEM Case Studies
This collection includes ten case studies that link the world of engineering to Key Stage Three Science. The case studies help to link classroom learning with real-life science and engineering challenges. Each case study includes descriptions of the products being looked at, student activities and teacher guidance. The case studies include:
* Blu-Ray DVD Player (Sharp)
* Air Products
* Battery-powered lawnmower (Bosch)
* Popcorn polymer (BP)
* Oil rig risers (BP)
* The Mosquito
* The Paper Cup Company
* Acticoat (Smith & Nephew)
* Industrial hemp
* MRI scanning (Siemens)
The activities described in the case studies aim to illustrate an engaging way of teaching science, technology or engineering using real-life contexts. The set of case studies was funded by the Dulverton Trust.
