This brief activity uses false-colour images of the Columbia glacier to introduce the idea of using sequences of satellite images to monitor change and focuses on the selection of appropriate data for an investigation.

These resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, explore the theme of waterways.

This activity demonstrates how a Raspberry Pi running Python can interact with other devices in the browser. Using the web.py framework, web forms can be served to mobile phones, tablets etc, and accept input which is fed into the Python script. The project helps students to see how web servers work, and how...

This short activity introduces students to the ideas of the footprint and resolution of an image, asking them to choose and use appropriate methods to calculate how these quantities would change as they moved a camera to a series of vantage points above the surface of the Earth

In this activity, learners will self-assess and plan how to extend their current knowledge of programmable systems.

These resources introduce what is meant by a program and programming commands. Activities include asking learners to create a set of instructions that will solve a problem, as well as building on understanding of programming commands and what they are used to do in a program. 

This activity is designed to introduce students to what is meant by a program. It asks students to create a set of instructions that will solve a problem...

The work that engineers do affects billions of people. It is creative and hands-on. It is about solving problems, designing things and improving things. As an engineer, you could tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems - from dealing with cyber security and maintaining clean water and energy supplies to...

This poster provides examples of the types of skills that you can develop whilst learning robotics, including:

• problem solving
• teamwork
• creativity

In this activity students take on the role of Earth observation scientists submitting a request for an image they would like for their research. This gives them the opportunity to consider the possibilities of pictures taken from orbit (and the limitations) and to write scientifically for a specific audience. It...

The task within this resource is a real-world example of analysis and problem solving that can be used to support a lesson on computational thinking.

It uses the scenario of a controller in a logistics company who schedules all the lorries and drivers to make deliveries during the course of the day. Pupils...

This document from the Department of Education looks at approaches to managing behaviour throughout the whole school at both a primary and secondary school. As part of the managing behaviour and bullying in schools case studies the resource explores: *Staff response to misbehaviour *'Golden Rules' and tickets *...

This managing bullying in schools document from the Department of Education looks at how to manage behaviour through supporting pupils through work with nearby schools, creative arts projects and disciplinary sanctions. The resource explores managed moves and inclusion arts projects, as part of the managing...

For this session students will find out the answers to the following questions: What do the UK Space Agency and European Space Agency do? What are the STEM subjects and how do they relate to a rover mission? What jobs are there from design, launch, landing and exploring? What skills are needed within these jobs?...
