This set of Cre8ate maths activities asks pupils to explore the ways in which their classroom and school can be made wheelchair accessible. If all the activities are attempted, the topic will be an extended one. Mathematical connections involve making sense of plans and diagrams through interpreting scale diagrams...

With just a few materials, building a paper model of the International Space Station (ISS) can become a class project. This publication contains a brief overview of the ISS, its parts, the science that occurs on board, instructions, and extension fact sheets. Learn about the ISS, explore fun facts, simulate...

This Royal Academy of Engineering resource teaches students coding through a series of physical computing and practical activities that explore the essential role engineers have in supporting the emergency services and search and rescue missions.

Combining plugged activities, using a Crumble Controller, and...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on code breaking and security using the Cold War and espionage as a hook. Students make their own code wheel based on the Caesar cipher and explore the maths behind codebreaking...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the RAF use science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills when delivering humanitarian aid. Students will design and make a lander for aid delivered by aircraft.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics involved in designing ejection seats. Students will explore the impact of ejecting from an aircraft on the human body and design an ejection seat for a bottle rocket.

In this resource, students attempt to apply their understanding of heat transfer (convection, conduction and radiation) to the novel case of the Beagle 2 Lander.

Students are set the challenge of creating the best...

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate how the RAF use science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills when planning a mission. Students will use maths to work out how to pack an aircraft effectively.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

Earth Observation (EO) scientists collect information about the Earth – the land, the sea and the atmosphere – using sensors carried on satellites, aircraft, ships, buoys floating on the ocean and thousands of weather stations around the world. There is now a great deal of data available and scientists are finding...

In this resource from Cre8ate maths, students critically compare nutritional measures and calculate their daily energy requirements. Initially students fill in the worksheet Can we eat what we like, to prompt a whole class discussion about the consequences of a bad diet. They then use the Sugar, salt and fat...

This resource looks at how mystery objects can be used in class to introduce a topic, introduce new scientific equipment or vocabulary, or to explore changes in science and technology over time. Ideas are provided for effective questioning and how to structure the activity.

This topic, from the Association for Science Education, explores the importance of plants. The topic allows classes in schools across the world to exchange information about plants grown locally, the value of these plants and how they are used.

After exchanging their findings and views with students in other...

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.

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...
