This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of activities involving drawing, from investigating growing patterns to making ellipses by folding.

This activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, allows students to visualise the orbits of planets as ellipses, rather than circles, and allows for the further study of the geometry of these orbits through basic algebra, using terms derived from the drawing...

A collection of worksheets that promote maths activities when drawing in 3D. Activities focus on isometric and orthographic drawing, adding dimensions and drawing objects to scale.

• Work with metric units

The initial problem is to construct and conversion graph to convert between measurements in the...

This simple activity from NASA allows classrooms to study rocket stability as students construct and fly small "indoor" paper rockets. The rockets can be used for a range of activities into forces and movement in which students collect data and interpret the results.

Water is vital to life. This topic, from the Association for Science Education (ASE), explores the safety of drinking water in different parts of the world. The topic allows classes in schools to exchange information about the sources of water for drinking and the implications for health.

In this topic,...

Drinks cans are made by stamping out circular discs from a sheet of tin. Given the dimensions of the sheet of tin and the diameter of the circle stamped out, students are required to calculate the wastage and to investigate whether there is a more efficient method. The problem requires students to be able to...

This Salters’ Chemistry Course unit from the University of York Science Education Group covered:
* The provision of a safe water supply
* The production of different kinds of drink
