Puzzling Parallax

In the context of visual effects in movies, students are challenged to investigate parallax by finding out how the distance of a nearby object is related to how far it appears to move when you view it from different perspectives.  The activity develops graph drawing and data analysis skills.

RADAR

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on radar technology. Students explore the how to build structures, then design and build their own radar tower.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

Remotely piloted air systems

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the use of science, technology, engineering and mathematics when controlling Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS). Students will use computing and maths skills to create a flight plan for RPAS.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents...

Removing resistance

Understand the engineering principles of hovering by building your own craft that can glide effortlessly across the table. This practical engineering activity provides instructions and teaching content to create a hovercraft out of a CD and balloon. 

Rocket performance in Bloodhound SSC

This detailed exemplar explores the rocket engine performance in the BLOODHOUND SSC engineering project. It requires student knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics when applied in mechanical engineering.
