Aimed at the 11-14 age group, this is a unit of six one-hour design and technology lessons to develop an understanding of how systems on exploration robots are combined and collect data. Students are given a design brief to build their own model rover, experientially, to function in simulated Martian conditions....
This is a unit of three two hour lessons to consolidate understanding of the specialised materials and mechanisms used on exploration robots. Students build or test, or build and test these to develop knowledge and evaluate them. These resources are aimed at the 14-16 age group. The context is focussed on the...
In this resource students explore the science of combustion in the context of fuel-burning stoves from around the world. They investigate the energy output from a variety of fuels covering calorific values, simple combustion chemistry, stove efficiency and chimney design. The unit ends with a design task requiring...
Measuring the diameter of our star This simple exercise allows students to measure the diameter of the Sun using a metre rule and two pieces of card. An image of the Sun needs to be projected on the card using a small hole in one piece of card.
Measuring the number of hours in a day...
A multiple choice quiz on measurements, materials, forces and motion in A level physics.
Although it is written for OCR AS/A level ...
This is a good introductory lesson to get students used to using a variety of measuring devices they might be unfamiliar with and which one you would select for a certain job. The measuring devices are:
- vernier callipers
- micrometer screw gauge
- travelling microscope
- a metre...
This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in design technology, engineering, science and mathematics. In this activity pupils measure noise produced by a range of activities using a sound meter to...
In this investigation students use a mass of plasticine on top of a hacksaw blade to see how the mass of the plasticine affects the resonance frequency that the...
In this activity, students investigate the uses of materials and fabrics in medical applications, such as pressure bandages for burns injuries and anti-embolism stockings for deep vein thrombosis. The students make their own pressure sensor using different types of fabric. They then calibrate their sensor and...
This is a standard standing waves investigation, where you hang masses off an elasticated piece of wire/string to see how this impacts the vibrations. It is good to provide this in the everyday context of a guitar or violin string and you can look at altering the length of the wire or the masses hung on it.
...In this practical investigation, students will perform a combustion reaction using a mixture of alcohol and air in a plastic water...
This resource is set in the context of challenges encountered in getting to, landing on and living on Mars.
The resource covers some mathematics, physics and biology:
- Launch crew: How many people can you fit in different spacecraft modules. Mathematics.
- Launch aerodynamics: Investigate...
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP). Visible light is the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with which we are most familiar. We are able to distinguish between different...
This booklet is part of the ‘Innovations in Practical Work’ series published by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme (SEP) and produced in partnership with the Walker Institute for Climate System Research. Climate scientists do not have a ‘climate in a test tube’ to try out their ideas, so to understand the...
Produced by Practical Action, Moja island is a 1-2 hour activity which will reinforce students' understanding of renewable energy sources. Students consider the variety of different options available to communities living on Moja Island and select the most appropriate technology. Renewable energy fact cards, a map...
