This Concept Cartoon on energy was produced by Millgate House Education and Practical Action. This cartoon help students explore issues around energy, in particular renewable energy, and to consider the question ' is energy really ever free?'.

Concept Cartoons are quick, simple and effective. They are...

This resource uses pictures for pupils to identify high and low friction forces and classify them into 'useful' and 'not useful' using a sorting grid.  This activity is designed to take place in groups to improve the speaking and listening skills of the learners. This can then be extended by asking pupils to write...

This collection of resources aims to develop an awareness of the types of wildlife found in the UK, in particular amphibians and reptiles. Providing tips on how to identify animals and where to look to find them, they also consider some of the threats these animals face and the things which may be done to help them...

Aimed at primary level, this resource contains seven activity ideas which link to work on animals, living things and their habitats and design and technology. The activities, which contain step by step instructions and photographs, are:

* Making a mini-pond
* Pond dipping
* Making a toad home...

This activity introduces the idea of remote observation by asking children to match photographs such as lakes, mountains and cities taken from the ground with early astronaut photographs. Children then compare the images from the ground with the astronaut picture of the same place. This activity is also suitable...

In this activity from the European Space Agency, students are introduced to the idea of remote observation of the Earth from space. They are asked to match photographs of different landscapes (mountains, lakes, rivers, cities, islands, and deserts) taken from the ground with photos of the same places taken by...

Using Christmas as an opportunity to get practical, this STEM activity from the IET enables pupils to explore different states of matter and moving molecules whilst trying to create frozen bubbles. The resource includes full lesson guidance...

This activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, helps students grasp the various sizes of planets in our Solar System using mostly fruit, with some other items. The class discussion before the activity encourages students to take an educated guess as to which...

This series of activities, aimed at primary level, explores different aspects of fruits and seeds and looks at how and why they are dispersed.

Future Morph Careers Quest was developed for students attending one of the the Big Bang science fairs. In the activity, students question exhibitors about aspects of their work and how they had chosen their particular career.

Whilst developed for an exhibition context, the resources can suggest questions for...

The challenges in this resource invite pupils to explore innovations within flight technology. Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore what we mean by climate change and what greenhouse gases are. They match the molecule diagrams to their descriptions and investigate rising temperature by setting up mini greenhouses. They also explore the lifecycle of an...

A series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in design technology, engineering, science and mathematics.
