Staying Warm, Keeping Cool

This activity, aimed at Key Stage Two, investigates a range of materials in the classroom, identifying by touch whether they are thermal conductors or thermal insulators. Children are then asked to plan the appropriate clothes to pack for hot and cold destinations, and...

Steady Hand Games

From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to design a game to test their hand control. The game makes use of the fact that electricity will only flow around a complete circuit.

Children need to navigate a wire loop along a bent wire...

Stealth

The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on the development of stealth vehicles.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

Steam Pipe Insulation

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the field of mechanical engineering. Here students learn that lack of proper insulation results in large energy losses which, over time, cost a lot of money. Models are used to calculate the value of the critical...

Steganography

Students will understand the concept of steganography and will create a bitmap image. They will explore colour depth and know how to convert a custom image to binary. They will be able to decode binary images and use pattern recognition to identify abnormal data.

These resources are set in the context of the...

Steiner Trees

A CS Unplugged series resource aimed at younger students but also works well with A level students. The document contains student activities covering constructing Steiner trees, greedy algorithms and solving traversal problems.

Everything on Earth, with the exception of hydrogen and helium, was made in stars. The hydrogen and most of the helium in the universe were made when the universe was only a few minutes old. We and our Earth are star dust or, if you prefer, the nuclear waste of 8000 million years of stellar evolution. This is the...
