A Year Ten module from the Salters’ double award science course. Exercises on codes and signalling methods introduce ideas about communication. A study of the ear leads to sound communication systems such as radio and telephones. Lenses are studied and the formation of...

This report from the Assessment of Performance Unit came about as an increasing interest was being focused on how students communicate mathematical ideas and what factors facilitate or hinder their thinking and performance. This booklet features a selection of...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the necessity of developing standards and protocols for communication.

It is intended that students will be able to:...

This session will provide students with an introduction to how text is represented in binary and will enable them to explore the importance and drawbacks of compressing data. They will look into lossless and lossy data compression techniques as different approaches to compression.

These resources are set in...

The ability to communicate ideas clearly is a very important skill for a mathematician to have.

Learning outcomes

• Students could be able to construct and interpret an appropriate graph table, chart or diagram from given data; will have clearly explained what their data...

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings. 

This resource focuses on...

To understand how everyday devices like mobile phones, routers and satellites work, we need to understand what radio waves are and how we can transmit information with them. Radio communication is one of the key elements in our CanSat. All the data needed for our scientific experiment will be sent from the CanSat...

The Science in a Topic students’ book Communication introduces students to a range of forms of communication used now and in the past. It covers words, sound, visual arts, signs and signals, the use of electricity and electronic devices. There are models for students to make of which some are quite advanced and use...

These materials support teachers, careers and personal advisers who are working together to broaden knowledge of STEM opportunities amongst students and parents. Resources include posters and support materials for practitioners. Teachers may also find the following eLibrary collections useful:

This activity, fom the Insttitution of Engineering and Technology (IET, allows students to look at a series of simple scenarios with a comment on the ‘rightness’ or ‘wrongness’ of the use of the technology. This is an introduction to ethical decision-making, as they are...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to look at some past events where better communications would have given a better outcome and to think about future development.

This STEM Learning resource collection aims to support STEM Ambassadors to highlight the top 10 employability skills to young people, with examples of activities and discussions to support young people to develop these skills in either school, college or other settings.  

This resource focuses on the breadth and depth of the subject with a focus on networks and communications (with links to data and data representation) and an emphasis on understanding how this can be implemented in classrooms whilst taking into account progression through Primary education. It contains a series of...
