Flood Defence
Students work in teams to design and make a prototype device that can design and make a prototype of a simple device (to be sold in stores like B&Q) that will allow homeowners to remove water from their house during periods of flooding.
In this challenge the device will have to move 100ml of water from...
Flood Warning System
After learning about flooding, students consider the design problems caused by its early detection. Students are introduced to moisture sensors, and can build their own using the instructions provided or use a ready-made version. This is connected to the BBC micro:bit and used as an input device. After processing...
Flow rates through revolving doors
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind revolving doors, including circle properties, estimation, compound measures and mathematical modeling.
"Revolving doors...
Flying by numbers
This is one of a set of resources produced in conjunction with the engineering company Arconic. The resources are designed to support teaching of key engineering concepts at both key stage 3 and key stage 4, including the new GCSE in Engineering. This resource focusses on the application of maths in engineering....
Flying high
This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in science, design technology, engineering and mathematics.
In this activity pupils calculate the amount of energy needed to launch a space...
From founding communications, such as the fire beacon, to being able to communicate with space, there is no denying that developments in communication have advanced at a rapid speed. This topic, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), presents students with communications of the past, present and...
Fractions and percentages
This worksheet challenges students to calculate fractions and percentages in various design and technology contexts. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.
Fractions of the squad
In this resource designed by the IET, pupils use their knowledge of fractions and percentages to describe football squads and select a team. Can someone else work out which team they have selected from the fractions and percentages they have used to describe it?
The purpose of the activity is to deepen...
Frequency tables
This worksheet challenges students to use frequency tables and tally charts in various design and technology contexts. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.
Frozen bubbles
Using Christmas as an opportunity to get practical, this STEM activity from the IET enables pupils to explore different states of matter and moving molecules whilst trying to create frozen bubbles. The resource includes full lesson guidance...
