IET Education Primary Resources
This collection provides lots of STEM challenges and resources linked to science and design and technology topics in the primary curriculum. Many support learning skills across the curriculum and can also be run as a project.
The challenge day resources support teachers in running their own aerospace engineers or lighthouse keeper transfer challenge day with children. They can be used to enhance the curriculum as children need to apply existing knowledge of electrical circuits, forces, design and construction in an integrated project. Although the challenges are designed to be delivered across one day they can also be split into smaller parts and used over several weeks or within a STEM Club.
Further resources within this collection can be linked to a variety of topics and themes, such as World Book Day, food and nutrition, plants, animals and mathematics.

How much paper comes from a tree
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)....
How to calculate density
This resource focusses on understanding density and, through a series of practical tests, working out which materials are low and high density. In this activity learners will learn about the density of materials through testing. Learners will have an opportunity to weigh and work out the volume of an object. They...
Home grown
In this activity children make a compostable plant box and then plant and grow a seed that can later be grown outside. Once children have planted their seeds they can carry out an observation over time to see what happens to their planted seed. They could also go on to investigate what a plant needs to grow in a...
How to work out scale
This resource focusses on the use of multiplication and division in the context of scaling an item to either double or half its size. Referencing the importance of scale to the field of engineering, especially in the design of large structures such as bridges and buildings, this resources cleverly demonstrates how...
