The focus of this activity is on the principle of hydrodynamics through testing boat hull designs in a test tank.
This activity gives students the opportunity to explore and develop their critical thinking and decision making skills through a practical approach....
This Practical Action resource presents a fun hands-on and brains-on challenge for Key Stages Two to Five.
The problem:...
We know that sometimes it can be difficult to visualise what STEM Ambassadors actually do.
Even after speaking to colleagues who are old hands at delivering activities, questions can still remain. Why do I need to meet the teacher first? What if the students are bored? How do I make it relevant? Where do I...
Stop the spread is a new STEM challenge for students aged 7 to 16. Highlighting the global issue of infectious disease students design, build and test a model of a hand washing device and produce educational materials for children in Kenya to encourage hand washing. It is accredited for the British Science...
In this starter activity, students investigate the design of the O2 Dublin building in terms of structure. They look specifically at the requirements of the building and the constraints in terms of structural design and also the solution provided. This can...
Using a case study, students investigate the design of the O2 Dublin building and Stansted Airport in terms of structure. They look specifically at the requirements of the building and the constraints in terms of structural design and also the solution...
This practical activity challenges students to design and engineer a roof structure that will span an area of 500mm x 300mm with specific constraints on the materials and construction methods used. They also identify which pieces (members) of the structure are in...
A useful handbook for setting up a student-led STEM club, with exemplars from three schools.
It is increasingly recognised that giving students opportunities to act as ambassadors and mentors for STEM subjects outside of school can be of great benefit to the individual, their institution, and to the broader...
This activity challenges students to work in small teams to design a water supply system for a small town of 5,000 inhabitants. They have to work within a budget, including giving themselves a profit margin.
The...
Inspired by the Born to Engineer video from George Edwards, a young engineer whose understanding of temperature measurement helps him to create a newly engineered product, this resource supports students to increase their understanding of engineering by learning about temperature control and its importance in the...
In this resource students are asked to test the operation of pulley systems and calculating their mechanical advantage.
Suggested learning outcomes include:
- To understand what is meant by mechanical advantage.
- To be able to calculate the mechanical advantage of pulley systems.
- ...
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), is a quick, engaging introduction to a lesson looking at the properties of modern materials and how these are used to imitate human body parts. Students think about human body parts which can...
In this activity students explore why a water clock was the world's first programmable system. Programmable systems are by no means a modern invention. Many regard the first to be Ktesibios's water clock, which was invented approximately 2250 years ago.
The aim of this activity is that students apply what...
