The Power Station Project is a simulated case study from the Science in Society series dealing with the various decisions that have to be made when a new power station is being planned. It was designed as an integral part of the Energy section of the Science in Society course. It is assumed that an Electricity...

Power for Young Mathematicians was first published in March 1988 as a submission by MESU (The Micro-Electronics Support Unit) to the National Curriculum Mathematics Working Party.

At the time of publication, computers were relatively new to many schools and there was much debate about how they could be used...

Power for Everyone Everywhere is a workshop designed to encourage pupils to explore the global challenges associated with access to clean and reliable electricity around the world. Pupils learn about the importance of electricity to people’s everyday lives and the role that engineering infrastructure plays in the...

This activity allows pupils to explore the principles of wind turbine movement, apply them and work in teams to plan and build a miniature wind turbine. Turbine performance is also evaluated after testing.

The activities introduce the notion of unequal access to reliable electricity in the world and the...

This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the risk of failure of safety systems in a power station.

"A Power station experiences a loss of coolant to its reactor about once per year. To...

These two books from the Shell Centre are part of the Extended Tasks for GCSE Mathematics support material produced for students as they pursued practical geometry tasks within any mathematics scheme. The practical geometry tasks were intended to stimulate students'...

There are 19 investigations here which you can weave throughout your scheme of work to ensure students have plenty of opportunity to practice key microbiology techniques, as well as using interesting contexts to teach a range of biological concepts.   If you're a little rusty on some of the techniques, have a look...

Produced by LSIS, this interactive resource aims to support classroom practitioners in improving the quality of learning in practical science sessions. It is not a set of suggested practical activities to use in the classroom. Instead, it provides a framework for clarifying and achieving learning outcomes through...
