Learning outcomes:

• Students could calculate the energy...

Bridging the river

London’s bridges are a rich subject for the study of design and technology. They are elegant landmarks that exemplify the best technology of their time and relate closely to the city’s social and economic development. London exists because of the River Thames, however, the river also divides the city, and for many...

Communicating data to others

The ability to communicate ideas clearly is a very important skill for a mathematician to have.

Emergency

Many patients that present in A&E do not have a disease but have become unwell due to the abuse of a substance such as
alcohol. In this lesson, students learn the effects of recreational drugs and also how hospitals tackle this. A link is made back to the first lesson in order to consider infection control...

Engineering the future of the barrier

In activity, students produce an Engineering ‘specification’ based on application of their science and mathematics knowledge and understanding. This will be put into the context of risks to London from flooding and the need for improved flood defences due to increased risk of higher floods due to rising sea levels...
