Resources by Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)

Air traffic control communication

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 engineering and mathematics. This activity focuses on developing the...

Aircraft chic

In this resource from the IET, pupils make use of the theme, the future of flight, to create a presentation for the board of an airline company suggesting how they could re-use aircraft, or parts of aircraft, being retired from their fleet. They will research the different parts of an aircraft and existing products...

Analogue and Digital

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to the differences between analogue and digital communication. An analogue signal can be rendered useless by small amounts of interference, whereas a digital signal remains...

Analyse energy consumption data

In this activity, students use data on electricity consumption to investigate how average values are calculated. They also consider how accurate a source of published data is and whether it may contain bias.

Analyse sewage tunnel design

This extension activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), follows on from the How Much Waste?...

Angles and trigonometry

This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around angles and trigonometry. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.

Animal Chips

This scientific literacy activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, investigating extensions to the use of such technology in various contexts.

Animal diet game

This resource focusses on what is meant by carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. It involves identifying what animals eat and the sorting them into groups. In this activity learners will develop their knowledge and understanding of the different diets that animals have and how to group them into herbivores, carnivores...

Animation - Make moving pictures

This is one of a set of resources designed to allow pupils to develop their knowledge and skills in computing, art and design.  This resource, which could be delivered across two separate lessons, involves using software on...

Antennas Explained

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores how the antenna part of body centric antennas (BCAs) work and encourages students to consider ethical issues surrounding the use of advanced technology to control prosthetics.
