Fuel efficiency – converting to LPG
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore the cost of using LPG, an alternative fuel for vehicles.
"LPG is a by-product of crude oil extraction and the refining process. Many people who...
Fuel Poverty 1
In this activity, students investigate what is meant by fuel poverty. This could be used as a starter activity in mathematics or design and technology, with a focus on economic reasons for the development of sustainable power sources. Using the slides as stimulus...
Fuel Poverty 2
In this activity, students interpret graphs to identify trends and the people who are affected by this fuel poverty. Learning outcomes include:
*To understand that mathematics is used as a tool in a wide range of...

Global Transport: Engineering a Vacuum Tube Train
In this activity, students design and test a model vacuum tube train. They have to decide on how to get a ball to travel through a tube as quickly as possible without the help of gravity. They then look at the forces that would act on a real vacuum tube train.
...Goal! Create a podcast for a sporting event
Sports podcasts are the best place for post-match analysis, sharing opinions and interviews. They are a great opportunity to reflect on the sporting event and provide some new insights. In this activity created by the IET, pupils create their own podcast for a sporting event....
