Snow sparkle slime
This well structured resource from the IET provides a quick and efficient way of making slime, themed around Christmas snow. Children can get their hands busy making their own ‘Snow Sparkle Slime’ whilst learning about polymers, materials and states of matter. An extra activity included in the resource is the snow...
Solar powered engine
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 design technology, engineering and mathematics. Jet engines used on aircraft produce...
Sorting process with flow charts
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the properties of quadrilaterals using flow charts.
"Flow charts show the order in which a series of events is to be carried out. They are used...
The resources in this collection use everyday contexts, such as the design of music venues and airports, to encourage students to consider how materials need be tested for their suitability for a specific job before engineers in construction projects can choose them. The tasks ask students to think about what...
Sound Design
This video looks at the structural design of the O2 building in Dublin. This is a built music venue with a capacity of 14,000 people, designed to provide unrestricted views and excellent acoustics. The film shows the exciting role of acoustic engineers and explains how they developed criteria from the...
Sound Velocity
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the velocity of sound. Two methods, a direct method and an ICT based method, are proposed.
The activity is part...
