IET Education Primary Resources
This collection provides lots of STEM challenges and resources linked to science and design and technology topics in the primary curriculum. Many support learning skills across the curriculum and can also be run as a project.
The challenge day resources support teachers in running their own aerospace engineers or lighthouse keeper transfer challenge day with children. They can be used to enhance the curriculum as children need to apply existing knowledge of electrical circuits, forces, design and construction in an integrated project. Although the challenges are designed to be delivered across one day they can also be split into smaller parts and used over several weeks or within a STEM Club.
Further resources within this collection can be linked to a variety of topics and themes, such as World Book Day, food and nutrition, plants, animals and mathematics.
