This activity gives students the opportunity to navigate a map of Mars looking for regions of interest they will receive ‘mission’ data from to analyse. Students will first work in teams on an interactive activity, navigating terrain as either a rover or mission control. The main part of the activity asks students...

This activity allows pupils to simulate the robotic exploration of Mars. Pupils will have the opportunity to take on the role of the rover controlled by mission control as well as being able to build their own remote control rover. Pupils will use a map of Mars to set out regions of interest and hazards before...

Looking at how animals have adapted to cope with all sorts of conditions. Exploring communication strategies, travel, camouflage and life in challenging settings, and the way humans can learn from animals.

This article investigates how scientists at the Open University are devising ways in which dogs can interact with electronic systems including computers. The article is from Catalyst: Secondary Science Review 2015, Volume 25, Issue 4.

This cross-curricular computing / ICT activity helps children to understand decomposition. They choose a poem and create an animation using Scratch; this encourages them to think deeply about the poem, and to explore the tools available. Children break the poem into pieces (decomposition), then plan the animation...

This is one of a set of resources designed to allow pupils to develop their knowledge and skills in computing, art and design.  This resource, which could be delivered across two separate lessons, involves using software on...

Jahangir completed AS levels in Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Biology along with an EPQ qualification.  A passion for engineering led him to the BBC to undertake an apprenticeship which provided sponsorship to complete a degree alongside undertaking multiple work placements including Radio/TV and Production System...

'Arduino in action' is a hands-on guide to prototyping and building electronics using the Arduino platform. Suitable for both beginners and advanced users, this easy-to-follow book begins with the basics and then systematically guides the reader through projects ranging from their first blinking LED through...

The Arduino motor shield is based on the L298 (datasheet), which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It lets the user drive two DC motors with their Arduino board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently. Readers can...
