Engineering materials for a greener planet features a series of real-world engineering activities that puts the environment at the heart of learning.

Students will explore the creative and practical side of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) subjects, as well as being introduced to the...

These resources explore how different indigenous populations have used engineering to allow them to live in extreme environments and what we can learn from these solutions. They also explore some modern engineering solutions to living in extreme environments.

The engineering our existence STEM resources are...

In activity, students produce an Engineering ‘specification’ based on application of their science and mathematics knowledge and understanding. This will be put into the context of risks to London from flooding and the need for improved flood defences due to increased risk of higher floods due to rising sea levels...

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals, and to explore the latest ideas in search-and-rescue robotics.

These resources, developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in collaboration with the ASCEND project, were designed to support science teachers, those with responsibility in science departments, and Gifted and Talented coordinators in schools. The ASCEND project (Able Scientists Collectively Experiencing...

This booklet, provided by More Maths Grads, has been designed to highlight the ways that mathematics is used in daily life. There are a selection of enrichment activities which include games, card tricks and puzzles that can be used to demonstrate how much fun mathematics can be, as well as the many ways in which...

This Nuffield Working with Science unit showed students how to plan, fund, carry out and complete their own enterprise designed to make money.

Guidance for this topic appears in the...

Enterprising Mathematics, produced by the Spode Group, is a collection of problems designed to encourage mathematics to be taught through real life situations for example: sports, money and travel.

Each chapter begins...

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to how to create a video pitch to sell a remote surgery system.

It is intended that students will be able to:

Two worksheet based activities that can be used to identify the impacts of technology upon people to sustain their communities in the future. The first activity considers the environmental impact upon sustainability with key questions to research and the second task is an analysis activity looking at cultural,...

In this activity, students are asked to make a bioreactor containing an immobilised enzyme and use it to produce lactose reduced milk. They then assess the effect that temperature has on the enzyme driven reaction within the bioreactor. 

Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine. How do we stop new diseases emerging or re-emerging infections getting out of hand?

How does this happen in a world of...

This resource introduces students to the topic of epilepsy. Activities include comprehension tasks and word searches of key words and exploring brain seizures through artistic interpretation.  The Illuminating the Self activities encourage artistic input and students create a piece of art connected to brain...

These activities, from the Institute of Physics, look at electrical circuits. They provide a review of previous knowledge and introduce the language needed to cope with the greater depth of learning at post-16 level. Activities include: • a discussion about electrical circuits to reinforce knowledge and highlight...
