Create a travel information system
This activity, suitable for a cross-STEM project day or series of lessons, focuses on how information can be provided to travellers on the London Underground. Students are asked to consider user needs – what information would they need to see, and how might their requirements be communicated? A deep understanding...
Creating Chinese calligraphy
This is one of a set of resources from the IET that uses the theme of the lunar new year to reinforce basic maths skills through the use of Chinese calligraphy. The activity is aimed at key stage 3 pupils with low levels of attainment.
Pupils learn about and make use of Chinese calligraphy. They will learn...
Cyborg Ethics
In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), students are introduced to how the present body centric antenna, plus prosthetic technology, could be compared to science fiction ‘cyborgs’. Students are also asked to discuss ethical issues...
This scheme of work, from the Institution of Engineering ad Technology (IET), provides students with an in-depth understanding of some engineering materials and how they are being developed in industry. This scheme was inspired by the casting process used to make the D3O smart material into a ‘usable’ form. This...
Dance is Electric
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), gives students the opportunity to develop their understanding of graphs in an engineering context. Students learn about dance floors that generate electricity and consider how output is linked to...
The engineers behind the Watt Nightclub in Rotterdam turn the energy created by clubbers on the dance-floor into power for the lighting. There is even a giant battery to monitor the energy and encourage the crowd to dance more. These resources look at how colour can affect mood and at how electric power can be...
Dance Power
This video, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), shows how the engineers behind the Watt Nightclub in Rotterdam designed a dance floor which turns the energy created by clubbers on the dance floor into power for the lighting.
...Data logging - difference calculations
In this activity from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) students perform calculations and apply formulae to a spreadsheet of data collected by a data logger, in order to determine how many visitors to an aquarium at any one time.
The resource includes a presentation and teacher guidance.
Decade counter circuits
In this resource, learners will investigate a decade counter circuit. They will then compare the operation of this to their programmable counter.
Decorating biscuits
Designed to be accessible for all primary aged children, this activity guides you and your pupils through the simple steps to explore maths with gingerbread men. This could be carried out as part of a design and technology, computing (coding) or maths lesson, and is simple to follow, making it suitable for learning...
