This book of entertaining and instructive projects is designed for students in schools, and colleges, and also for hobbyists and electronics club enthusiasts. It is a follow-up to Adventures with Microelectronics and provides a stepping-stone to the microprocessor.

Instructions for sixteen projects including a burglar alarm, a wailing siren, an intercom, a fire alarm and a rain detector.

Describes the methods which are used to construct intriguing impossible figures which can tease the eye and baffle the imagination. Copious examples are drawn from the author's own work and the fertile imagination of Escher and Oscare Reutersvard.

This book explains what chips do, then gives step-by-step instructions for projects to make a dozen useful and interesting devices....

With the aid of simple and clear instructions and using materials which are readily available in most homes, you can do 50 interesting and exciting experiments and follow up by making 15 working models.

This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.

Activities are posts made by educators to share a volunteering opportunity and request support. Here you will find examples of good activity postings for secondary and FE settings to be used as inspiration for your own posts.

This book is part of the Archive Collection which is available to view at the National STEM Learning Centre.

The Gravity Jet Suit uses purely thrust from the jet engines to create lift.  This resource explains the aerodynamics of flight, including thrust, life, drag and weight for aircraft.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), challenges students to put images of cars and aeroplanes in chronological order, to explain how they made their decision and describe how the products relate directly to developments in science and...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at how the boomerang works from design and scientific principles. Students explore how aerodynamic forces affect the flight of objects, relate the design features of the boomerang to its path...

In this activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students explore the basic principles of aerodynamics by looking at familiar products that have been designed with speed in mind and identifying features common to these products....

Cloth has been an integral part of African life for centuries, whether serving as a valued trade commodity or communicating the wearer's kinship group or status in the community. Woven into the fabric by hand; stenciled, painted, or embroidered onto machine-woven fabrics; printed by machine; or produced by cutting...

These activities, from the European Space Agency, use the example of Hurricane Matthew to explore the applications of Earth observation data in tracking hurricanes and assessing their aftermath. Students learn how a hurricane develops and the impact that extreme weather can have on society. They do this by...
