This set of resources combine sport with engineering showing how STEM influences sport in many areas from making a sensor to test a waterlogged sports pitch to presenting fitness data. Each activity is mapped to the curriculum and comes with lesson plans and presentations.
Inclined planes
This video and accompanying teacher notes explore inclined planes, friction and resolving forces. The video includes details of an experiment that demonstrates the principles involved, the calculations used and ideas for further experiments.
Living in a highly technological world, where access to information and entertainment is at our fingertips, the Inform and Entertain Me topic, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), is a gateway to engage and introduce students to the principles and technology that form the basis for...
Infra-red Communications
In this activity, students are asked to design an infra-red ‘tag’ game which incorporates emitter and detector circuits. The detector needs to be attachable to clothing and indicate when you have been ‘tagged’ by another player. The development of their ideas should...
Infrastructure
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), makes students aware that when they watch television, or use the phone, there is a huge, expensive infrastructure that needs to be paid for and maintained.
...Input, Process and Output
This resource looks at what properties of infra-red make it so useful in gaming technology? Students develop a working prototype of a simple infra-red electronic circuit, identify an input and an output and test the performance of the circuit. They then explain how the findings of their research could affect their...
Inputs and Outputs of Design
Using the context of the Nintendo Wii, this starter activity develops an understanding of the terms system, input, process, output and signal, and asks students to identify these features in some common products which are shown in the presentation.
...Interpreting graphs
This worksheet challenges students to gather information from graphs. 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.
Investigate why boats float
This is one of a series of resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, exploring the theme of waterways.
In this activity pupils will learn what is meant by density and will conduct an experiment to find out if modelling clay...
Investigating Batch Production 1
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), focuses on the design of a tessellated product and preparation for manufacture. The resource is designed to allow students to:
• be able to analyse a design brief
• be able to generate...
