In this activity, students make an indicator using red cabbage and test the pH of household products. The resource provides some background information on colour pigments and nutritional information about red cabbage. A sample results table is provided with questions for students to answer.

In this activity from the IET, pupils will make use of the theme, the future of flight, to make a mood lighting circuit that can help passengers to relax whilst inside an aircraft cabin. They will then test their circuit to see if it works.

This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach...

This activity from the Nuffield Foundation shows students how to use Kruskal’s and Prim’s algorithms to solve minimum connector problems. A cable TV company wants to lay cables to connect the towns, laying the cable along the roads shown on a map of the Isle of Wight. They want to connect all of these towns to...
