Wind Turbine Role Play
There is much debate about reducing greenhouse gases and how renewable energy sources might form part of the answer. Most people agree that renewable energy is a good thing, but how do people react when a wind farm is proposed to be built near them? The following...
Behind every racing car or bike and driver, there is a multidisciplinary team of expert engineers, technicians and scientists using cutting-edge technology. Rewind to one year before the race. The team begin working on the challenge to improve every aspect of performance which can make the few seconds difference...
Winter window decorations
This well structured resource from the IET provides a quick and efficient way of making craft, recycled Christmas window decorations, whilst learning about the science of adhesives, the physics of positive and negative charges, and even the chemistry of bonding.
This resource can be easily adapted to...
Wireless
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to Wi-Fi, its properties and capabilities, using a real-life scenario as the context.
Body centric communications have...
With Tech Support
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the uses of communication technology in the modern world, making decisions about being dependent on such technology.
...Without Tech Support
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the uses of communications technology in the modern world. There is an opportunity to audit the students’ skills such as visualisation or map-reading to form a scale...
Water is crucial to human life, but it can also be a killer. Water contaminated with micro-organisms or chemicals, which is then used for drinking or cooking, is a leading cause of disease and death across the world. Poor facilities for the disposal of sewage and other waste water can quickly lead to the spread of...
Write in hieroglyphics
This is one of a series of resources developed by the Institution of Engineering and Technology inspired by the achievements of the ancient Egyptians.
In this activity pupils discover where the word 'hieroglyphics' comes from and how to write their name in hieroglyphics.
Writing a Flowchart
This engineering activity, suitable for children in computing lessons, looks at the basics of flowchart construction. Simple examples, such as the decisions made by a dog chasing a stick, are used to make flowchart representation of algorithms accessible to younger children. A simple design activity requires...
