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 design and technology, maths and science (in this case mainly design and technology). This resource focusses on developing understanding of...

There are two parts to the DIY Dendrometer resources: 

Part A focusses on how trees grow and their role within both the carbon cycle and the water cycle. Learners are encouraged to take part in a citizen science project which involves creating and installing a DIY...

The IET DIY Faraday Challenge Day ‘Smart Cycle’ is a DIY STEM activity day but it could be adapted to be run as a suite of lessons. The aim of this challenge is to introduce students to cutting edge technology which engineers are, and will be using in the future and this challenge will work best if you have access...

These cross-curricular Science, Design and Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activity days from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) encourage the development of students’ problem solving, team working and communication skills. Students achieve a better understanding of what engineering...

Kit which combines plasticine with electric wires to complete an electrical circuit.

The DIY gamer kit is a hand-held games console that students make themselves by soldering together all of the parts (they will need a soldering iron for this).

Making the gamer is a fun, hands-on way of learning core design and technology skills such as electronics and soldering. Once the students have made...

Solder together the circuit board to make a light-sensitive musical device.

Build a custom amplifier out of electronic components. Then design a set of speakers to house it in.

No soldering required, students can make changes to the circuit and add new parts. Add a light dependent resistor to control the volume, add a custom keyboard or even hook it up with an Arduino. Then design a case to house it in.

...

Students can make their own moisture sensor out of plaster of Paris and nails. Twist together the circuit and power it all with a solar panel that will tell an LED to flash when the plants need watering. –
