These resources allow the learning of maths within the engineering context of deployable structures.
There are a range of KS3 maths topics covered including density, nets, transformations, scale, conversions, circles, area, compound shapes and problem solving.
The resources consist of a teacher’s...
Disaster relief
The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the RAF use science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills when delivering humanitarian aid. Students will design and make a lander for aid delivered by aircraft.
Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.
Curriculum resource kit from the Royal Academy of Engineering. Students undertake challenges related to the need for shelter and clean water in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster. The kit consists of a student booklet of activities and a teacher booklet containing all the student activities plus...
Disaster Response: How do Engineers Save Lives?
This suite of student activities, challenges and related resources aims to give students an insight into the roles of engineers following a natural disaster.
The short introductory activities increase students’ awareness of the range of types of natural disaster and the kinds of problems associated with them...
Draining Hazardous Liquids During Chemical Processing
This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows how to build a mathematical model of liquid draining through a tank and how to use the model to determine the time required for a tank to completely drain. Bernoulli’s conservation of energy equation, which requires integration and differentiation, is...
Drones: friend or foe?
The drone resource box is aimed at key stage 3 or key stage 4 students and could be used as a six-session curriculum resource or a drop down activity day. The resource explores how drones work and how they can be used for civilian, humanitarian and commercial purposes. Each session will be based around a different...
Dropped Load Assessment in Nuclear Industry
This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, introduces mathematical models for the risk assessment of dropped load, which are used to analyse the safety of structures within nuclear power stations. Here students learn about the formulae which engineers use to calculate the maximum dynamic stress and...
Earthquake proof
In this STEM club activity, students design and build an earthquake-resistant two-storey structure, considering principles of earthquake engineering and design such as the importance of a solid foundation, wide base, symmetrical design and trusses.
Engineering a better world
This STEM resource is inspired by the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation.
Engineering a better world is a series of activities, practical tasks and discussion points that invite young learners to explore the role that young engineers and entrepreneurs play in developing innovations that will bring...
These primary and secondary resources explore the science, technology, engineering and maths involved in the film industry.
