This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores the qualities and/or properties which make a material fit for purpose. The resource is designed to allow students to:
• understand that...
This activity involves a series of discussions and ranking activities to develop students understanding of the link between fitness, pulse rate, respiration and activity. It can be used as an introduction to the ...
What are the different types of bridge and how do they cope with the loads put on them?
Lesson Objectives
- The student could research and explore the way forces affect bridges and discuss how to explain this information to the intended user group.
- They should categorise...
Fixperts is an award-winning, hands-on learning programme that challenges young people to use their imagination and skills to create ingenious solutions to everyday problems. The programme is equally relevant to design and technology, engineering and as a STEM enrichment activity.
This set of resources can...
This resource investigates the use of flavourings in a milkshake. Natural and artificial vanilla flavourings are used to manufacture the product and a taste panel used to judge the preferred flavour. Costs of manufacture are also calculated in the activity.
Many of the chemicals we use as drugs, flavourings and perfumes originate from natural sources but often the most economical way of obtaining them is to produce them artificially on an industrial scale. Scientists at the University of Oxford are researching into how to...
In Flesh Eaters, provided by the Association for Science Education (ASE), students are challenged to unravel a bizarre crime using their scientific skills.
Flesh Eaters is a 'learning adventure'. It combines computer-...
Countries charge for planes to fly through their airspace even if the plane does not land. Different countries levy different charges, therefore plane companies consider a number of different routes and calculate the associated charges with each route. The formula used to fly over Europe is considered and an...
This activity requires students to design and construct a payload fairing and vibration rig to test a protection system for a satellite (an egg). Students are given limited materials (this can be differentiated accordingly) to produce their model, the success of the model is initially measured by the egg not being...
This small-scale qualitative study was published in 2015 and undertaken by the National...
Students begin by making a 'Digit Flipper'. There are three versions in the resource plus blanks to make others. The teacher notes then explain how the 'gadget' can be used in lessons.
The 'Digit Flipper' can be manipulated to show different numbers. Teachers can ask students to make the largest possible...
This challenge, from Practical Action, requires students to design and build a model structure that will enable farmers to grow crops even in an area that may become flooded. A floating garden, built on a base of aquatic weeds, is a low cost and sustainable way of allowing people to grow vegetables. The resource...
Six shapes are presented in different 3D orientations. The task is to find which of the shapes is identical.
In this lesson, students devise their own flood warning device and create a technical brief for an international audience using recognised circuit symbols. They also consider how people both here and in Nepal can best prepare for floods. Heavy monsoon rains can devastate communities in Nepal. The severe flooding...
