In this activity, aimed at primary-aged pupils, children will design and create an A4 sized collage portrait of King Charles III to celebrate the coronation, using recycled materials. Portraits might also include objects such as his crown, throne or sceptre and/or a background to represent London, the United...

In this activity, primary pupils make use of the theme of the King’s coronation to design a stone garden in the style of a flag or other item to commemorate the event. They will consider the design brief for the criteria, use a template to produce a design on paper, consider the scale for the final display and...

This activity, suitable for a cross-STEM project day or series of lessons, focuses on how information can be provided to travellers on the London Underground. Students are asked to consider user needs – what information would they need to see, and how might their requirements be communicated? A deep understanding...

This presentation is a step by step guide to AppShed.  AppShed is a free online tool, that allows students to create mobile apps for iOS and Android. This PowerPoint scaffolds the production of a film information app, but could easily be adapted for another project. The resource is aimed at students aged between 11...

In this activity, students make their own thermometer using a jar and a straw. There is a simple explanation of expansion in liquids and questions for students to answer about the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
