Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, this is an activity that provides an opportunity for students to use basic knowledge of magnetic fields to explore how magnets can be used to create motion. The activity involves hands-on learning in the form of constructing an electric motor out of magnets,...

The ‘introduction to Fixperts ’ section of the Fixpert's resource introduces the Fixpert framework and how it breaks down the design process into 6 stages. It provides examples of schemes of work, curriculum links and a set of frequently asked questions. A student log book is also provided that students can use to...

This set of resources provided by Future Morph has been produced to help teachers use the world of work as a context for their teaching. They aim to engage students in STEM subjects and show them how the knowledge of those subjects relate to everyday life. This resource comprises of:
