This resources explores how moisture management technology is used to develop engineered products . It introduces key words such as breathability, wicking, microfibres and provides examples of products and tradenames that make use of this technical textile technology.

These teacher notes will guide you through the collection of resources created for space-inspired technical textiles. Including:

• ...

This resource focuses on some research data into the prevention of anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) injury. The activities included in this resource will enable students to develop their ability to evaluate claims based on science through critical analysis of the methodology, evidence and conclusions, both...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), makes students aware of the positives that modern communication systems give to society, and asks them to make decisions about the use of these systems for social, economic and environmental...

This resource from TechSheCan explores how technology is used in manufacturing. It references robotics, fashion and suggests careers links to engineering. It provides teacher notes, a classroom presentation and homework activity.

In this activity, learners will work in groups to share their knowledge of the use of technology in sport. They will each give a 60 second presentation about the topic to their group.

This resource could be used as a starter activity or as part of an exercise for learners to develop their knowledge of how...

Produced by ARKive, these materials include a series of activities that introduce children to the plants and animals of the temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest (USA). Children conduct a hands-on investigation of the living things in a small local ecosystem, catalogue their findings and then compare their...

Inspired by the Born to Engineer video from George Edwards, a young engineer whose understanding of temperature measurement helps him to create a newly engineered product, this resource supports students to increase their understanding of engineering by learning about temperature control and its importance in the...

In this activity, students review their results from a previous investigation to form a hypothesis, consider the validity and size of the data set collected, and question if the data would be sufficient to confirm their claim.

Linked to this series of resources on designing and making a car, this activity evaluates the performance of the vehicle previously manufactured by the pupils. It involves recording the time taken by each vehicle to go down a slope. This can be converted into the speed of the vehicle. It could be used at key stage...

In this activity, learners will test their product against the design criteria and suggest possible improvements.

In this...

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

This presentation begins by introducing students to the technique used to find the radical of an integer before progressing to the ABC conjecture, which is recognised by mathematicians as being an important unsolved problem...

This resource, aimed at primary level, helps to develop an understanding of pollination and how flowers attract insects. Linked to the topics of lifecycles, plants and living things and their habitats, it provides an opportunity to identify and name wild flowers, whilst investigating the frequency of different...

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

This presentation looks at the theorem of cross-ratio, of four complex numbers, which is of great interest in a field of mathematics known as projective geometry and has an ancient history.

The activity is designed to...
