IET Education Primary Resources
This collection provides lots of STEM challenges and resources linked to science topics in the primary curriculum. Many support learning skills in design and technology and can be run as a project.
The challenge days support teachers in running their own Aerospace engineers or Lighthouse keeper transfer challenge day with children. They can be used to enhance the curriculum as children need to apply existing knowledge of electrical circuits, forces, design and construction in an integrated project. Although the challenges are designed to be delivered across one day they can also be split into smaller parts and used over several weeks or within a STEM Club.
These resources have been provided by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Modelling linkages
Investigating simple linkages using card models.
A mechanism is a device that changes movement in some way. Linkages are a type of mechanism. There are different types of linkage, each of which change movement in different ways.
This could be used in Key Stage 2 as a stand-alone activity or as an...
Grab it
This resource could be used as a short design and make project in Key Stage 2, or as the design and modelling stages of a project to make a grabber out of resistant materials.
In this activity, students will make a 'grabber' device from card.
