Projectiles
This video and accompanying teacher notes explore motion in two directions using ball bearings and a ramp. The video details the equipment and set up required for the experiment as well as the principles and calculations involved.
Projecting torch light
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, shines a light on the area of a circle, Pythagoras' Theorem and enlargement by asking students to consider what they can see when a torch is shone on a wall.
"A circle of light appears when you...
Properties of Sensors
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to methods of how to identify what components can be used as electronic sensors.
The resource is designed so that students...
Prosthetic Design
This inspirational video highlights careers in biomedical engineering. Until recently, bone cancer patients would have had a limb amputated, but today prosthetic surgery can remove the tumour section and replace it with individually engineered implants made from a...
Pulleys - forces in equilibrium
This video demonstrates an experiment that uses equilibrium equations to find an unknown mass. The video includes details of the equipment required as well as the method, calculations and principles involved.
Pulleys -connected particles in motion
This video and accompanying teacher notes explore how constant acceleration equations can be used to make predictions. The video includes details of the equipment and set up required, the principles and calculations involved as well as applications of the equations used.
The resources in this collection, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), look at how we meet our increasing water demands, the importance of clean water to public health, water shortages and engineering solutions to providing clean water. There is also a product design project to develop a ‘...
Pure Water
This video, for the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at how water is becoming an increasingly precious resource, even in affluent places like California where the infrastructure is struggling to cope with demand. Engineers have looked at extreme conservation, sea water desalination, importing...
Put a ring on it
In this STEM activity pupils will have the opportunity to measure the circumference of a tree trunk and use this information and number skills to work out the age of the tree in years. They will then repeat this for other trees and present and discuss their results as a class. This activity supports the teaching of...
Puzzling paperchains
This resource from the IET teaches pupils about number sequences, patterns and predictions, in the context of making Christmas paper chains. Pupils are challenged to create the longest paper chain with just three pieces of paper.
