In this Future of Flight challenge pupils design a virtual cockpit and learn to think like a pilot, working systematically to move people and medical supplies. They will also create programs to test reaction times, stress levels and check temperature then put together a...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore the materials they know and how they might be grouped. They also consider what materials they could use to regulate temperature and protect against the cold. They create a bouncy ball using a synthetic material and...

The challenges in this resource invite pupils to explore innovations within flight technology. Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore flight in nature investigating biomimicry and flight technology. They consider what the forces of flight are and investigate forces with gliders and through using a wind tunnel.

If the original physical materials...

Produced in 2015, these resources look specifically at how genes can be altered in plants and how bacteria are central to genetic engineering techniques. Genetically modified (GM) crops offer the potential to help improve food security though this still remains...

If you travel from the UK to France via the channel tunnel, your carriage is riding on rails made of a particular kind of steel that Harry Bhadeshia invented. He has also developed the world's strongest armour, called 'super bainite', in part through the discovery of a steel that seemed to sing.

He has done...

Mobile app development is an engaging way for students to learn programming and interface design as many do, indeed, "love their smartphone".

This complete learning package teachers the origins and development of the smartphone, helping them to appreciate the amount of technology packed into their pocket. It...
