In this activity from the IET, pupils will make use of the theme, the future of flight, to make a mood lighting circuit that can help passengers to relax whilst inside an aircraft cabin. They will then test their circuit to see if it works.

This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach...

In this activity students will learn about what is meant by mains electricity and how it is transported to our...

Many different personal attributes can impact on road safety including a person's vision, ability to concentrate, reaction times and mobility. The car of the future should be designed to help people overcome these issues.

This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at how carbon capture and storage works, why it's here to stay, the effect of floodplains on water pollution, and how the thickness of polar ice can be measured from space. The venue for this Planet Earth...

A set of STEMNET case studies profiling the careers of a selection of STEM Ambassadors. The case studies illustrate the ways different jobs require an understanding of science and also the routes into a range of careers. The case studies cover a wide area of work including:
