The Nuffield Foundation provides this resource which shows students how, given a set of measurements along an irregular coastline, it is possible to approximate the area of land which is lost to coastal erosion over a period of time. Coastal erosion A - this activity uses the context of coastal erosion to introduce...

In these activities, pupils are introduced to the idea of controlled or uncontrolled re-entry for satellites. They are challenged to devise a way of reducing space debris by designing alterations to satellites so that they bring themselves back to Earth. In the first activity, the students pretend to be satellites...

This Core Maths resource looks at the recently developed technique of rehydroxylation for dating ceramic objects using an exponential growth model. The resource allows students the opportunity to apply their knowledge of growth and decay, along with logarithms, to a genuine scientific process.

Students will design a jet pack that can be worn by either the players or referee during a football game on the Moon. They will consider how a jet pack works and the different parts of a jet pack. They will then sketch an idea for a wearable jet pack with consideration for how it will fit, the weight of the jet...

Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing is an important industrial tool used extensively in many applications such as the automotive, shipbuilding, and aerospace industries, industrial and architectural design, prosthetics, and many more. This activity gives students the...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand working with recurring decimals in practical situations.

The task gives students the information that when you calculate 100 ÷ 6 using a calculator, the result is 16. 666666667

They use this information to arrive at answers to a series of...

This London Engineering Project case study, part of the Royal Academy of Engineering collection, is a hands-on interactive activity aimed at Year 9 students and aims to show how creative engineering can be and encourages enterprise.

This resource requires problem solving using skills in forming and factorising expressions.

Students investigate the sum of four consecutive numbers. Initially this is done using numerical examples. There are a series of statements for students to classify as ‘sometimes true’, ‘always true’, or ‘never true...
