This computing resource for primary schools introduces the concept of decomposition through dance. Using combinations of hand-jive, clapping or tutting, the lesson demonstrates how complex sequences of instructions (algorithms) can be broken down into smaller chunks. The children are challenged to look for patterns...

This resource develops the concept of finding the slope and equation of a linear graph defined by pairs of coordinates. There is also work on using the slope and y-axis intercept of a straight line to derive its equation.

The initial task for students to consider is to use proportional reasoning to calculate...

Create a den at school using this STEM challenge, which links to geography and D & T. Children learn about natural disasters and how they affect people in many ways, then are challenged to plan and construct a sturdy...

The Nuffield Foundation provides this activity which can be used to review students' knowledge of the derivatives of quadratic and cubic functions and their graphs. The slideshow provides an introduction by considering a quadratic example and a cubic example.

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

This activity explores an example of the Descent method. This method was popularised by the famous mathematician Pierre de Fermat...

This lesson develops the concept of naming and classifying quadrilaterals according to their properties. Students identify the minimal information required to define a quadrilateral. They sketch quadrilaterals with given conditions.

During the first part of the lesson students choose from the words ‘all’, ‘...

This lesson develops the concept of constructing triangles with given conditions. In particular students will:

• Recall and apply triangle properties
• Determine whether a set of given conditions for the measures of angle and/or sides of a triangle describe a unique triangle, more than one...

In this ARKive activity, students research and design their own conservation programme to learn about the importance of biodiversity as well as the economic benefits and services ecosystems provide. Using examples of successful conservation programmes within the UK Overseas Territories, students learn about the...

In this activity, aimed at primary-aged pupils, children will design a coronation throne for the coronation of King Charles III that incorporates modern technologies. Pupils will also think about how to communicate their design ideas using sketches, notes and annotations.

This resource focusses on learners designing a robot to act as an assistant referee during a game of football on the Moon. They will consider the challenges associated with playing football on the Moon and the duties of an assistant referee. Students will produce a labelled sketch of their idea to meet a set of...

Magnetism is a key scientific phenomenon. Utilising this has allowed designers to create new and innovative products, such as fully working MAGLEV trains and hoverboards.

This resource focusses on designing a hoverboard that works using magnetism and magnetic field.

Students will design a jet pack that can be worn by either the players or referee during a football game on the Moon. They will consider how a jet pack works and the different parts of a jet pack. They will then sketch an idea for a wearable jet pack with consideration for how it will fit, the weight of the jet...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), requires students to design a magnetic tool holder for a robot surgeon.

It is intended that students will:
• Appreciate the potential of...
