The mysterious case of the elephant that forgot
Plunged into a dystopian world of hard hats and high vis jackets Frankie sets out to unravel ‘The mysterious case of the elephant that forgot‘, and on the way finds out a load of stuff about engineers that not a lot of people know.
This resource provides a narrated picture book video, discussing what engineers can do and some of the material properties they consider, through a series of problems the characters in the story encounter. Included are activity sheets which support learning about this topic.
Free workshop resource packs are available to schools to support the teaching around the book. Pupils can also enter a drawing competition to try to win a copy of the book.
This project was sponsored by Urban, Etude, Gaia Group, Regen Media, the Royal Academy of Engineering, Tideway and the Thomas Dudley Foundry Ltd.
