This engineering resource, produced by Mathematic in Education and Industry (MEI) for the Royal Academy of Engineering, asks the question: how can you predict future power requirements? Students are required to complete a table by substituting values into a formula and plot a graph. The activity offers good...

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 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...

This STEM resource looks at different types of energy, energy in engineering, the importance of electricity and how this is generated. It investigates different types of renewable energy through a number of engineering themed hands-on and practical activities.

This activity is designed to support teachers in designing questions or statements which spark the imagination and stimulate a discussion.

The activity helps teachers to create questions that engage students by linking topics they enjoy
talking about, directly with the content being taught.

This SMILE resource contains two packs of games, investigations, worksheets and practical activities supporting the teaching and learning of powers and roots, from identifying square numbers to investigating numbers expressed as powers.

Powers and roots pack one contains twelve work cards...

This resource focusses on probability, using the act of taking an item of fruit at random from a bag. In this activity learners will develop understanding of the possible outcomes of simple random events. They will also understand that there is a degree of uncertainty about the outcome of some events. The teacher...
