Resources
Combining Science and Design and Technology, this series examines the mechanisms and technology of everyday objects. A scientific explanation with the help of annotated diagrams and illustrations is followed by...
Sensors
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to methods of how to identify what components can be used as electronic sensors.
The resource is designed so that students...
Sensors and logic
In this session students will create a logic circuit to represent a Mars rover MOT. They will identify the necessary logic gates and consider numerous inputs, which will be combined and traversed in person. They will make the link between truth tables and undertake testing and some simplification to reduce the...
Sensors Decisions
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to how we use sensors in a circuit that will make decisions.
The resource is designed so that students will know that:

...This multimedia package was developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme to support and extend the teaching of sensors to students aged 14-19. The development and use of sensors is a rapidly growing area. Students should already have some familiarity with sensors through their use in a classroom context in...
Sensory Design Executive: Jenny Tillotson
This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of STEM Ambassador Jenny Tillotson, the Chief Executive Officer of Sensory Design and Technology Ltd. Jenny produces mood-enhancing clothes, jewellery and medical products.
Reading science fiction novels set Jenny thinking about how the arts and...
Find out why our senses are so important in this introduction to the sensory system. The reader is led through each sense in turn and is introduced to the body parts involved and what they do.
Electricity, Magnetism and Forces is one of the publication themes of the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme.
Both electrical and magnetic phenomena have been known since ancient times, through the action of friction to produce static electricity and through the existence of naturally occurring magnetic...
Energy and Power is one of the publication themes of the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme.
Understanding the energy concept is central to an understanding of science. It also happens to be a particularly difficult concept to explain. SEP has developed a series of publications that provide clear and...
