This activity investigates what conditions plants need to grow and why lack of light alters plant growth. It is part of a larger resource which looks at plants at primary level, ...

This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science, design and technology, and maths (in this case, mainly science). This resource focusses on the investigation of how the light from a torch (...

This resource introduces the concepts of distance and displacement through the journey made by a delivery van. The first task checks pupils' understanding of the measurement of length and the appropriate units to use.  Pupils are then asked to define distance and displacement and look at the similarities and...

Students use data from different websites to calculate the average speeds for various types of transport and represent these in graphic form to be able to see the relationship between the equation for speed and the slope of a distance time graph. They will begin to discover the concept of relative motion between...

In this activity pupils calculate the height of a released balloon using a clinometer and trigonometry. This is one of 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 and mathematics....

This lesson teaches students different uses of 3D printing and highlights the three main parts to the 3D printing process (I.e. design, slice, print).

As London approaches 9 million people we not only have to consider where we get enough clean water to drink but also how we get rid of the waste, and recycle water for drinking and other uses. London is described as a water-stressed city and scientists and technologists need to be very creative to overcome issues...

This unit investigates one of the ways the Arctic is changing as a result of global warming. The sea level rise investigation demonstrates how the melting of different types of ice in the Arctic will affect sea level rise.

This investigation is taken from Digital Explorer Frozen Oceans:...

In this activity, learners will recall and extend their understanding of programmable systems.

In this activity children practise using scales to weigh different items of packaging. They then calculate how many of each item could be made from an average tree. 

The resource, which provides an authentic context for maths learning has been proved by the IET, (Institution of Engineering and Technology)....

This resource consists of four short tasks.

Students begin by writing expressions about the individual ages of three people using information from the task. Additional information is then given about the total age of the three people and the task is to find out how old each person is. A final task involves...

In this activity, students are asked to analyse data to work out which form of personal transport is currently the least safe. They then consider what safety features are in use at the moment.

Students brainstorm and...
