Floating blocks problem

Six shapes are presented in different 3D orientations. The task is to find which of the shapes is identical.

Floating Garden STEM challenge

This challenge, from Practical Action, requires students to design and build a model structure that will enable farmers to grow crops even in an area that may become flooded. A floating garden, built on a base of aquatic weeds, is a low cost and sustainable way of allowing people to grow vegetables. The resource...

Have you ever dreamed of being an astronaut? Wondered what it might be like to see the sun set sixteen times in one day? Open this book and be transported on an information-packed voyage aboard the space shuttle....

Floating point binary representation worksheet

A student worksheet with answers covering the topic of floating point binary representation. It contains answers so can be used for independent study.

Floating, sinking and density

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Identify objects that are floating.
• Describe how the mass and volume of an object affect how well it floats.  
• Describe how the shape of an object affects how well it...

Flood Alert

In this lesson, students devise their own flood warning device and create a technical brief for an international audience using recognised circuit symbols. They also consider how people both here and in Nepal can best prepare for floods. Heavy monsoon rains can devastate communities in Nepal. The severe flooding...

Flood Defence

Students work in teams to design and make a prototype device that can design and make a prototype of a simple device (to be sold in stores like B&Q) that will allow homeowners to remove water from their house during periods of flooding.

In this challenge the device will have to move 100ml of water from...

Flood Defences, the Southern Ocean, and Whiter Clouds

This podcast from the Planet Earth Online collection and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) looks at why removing some man-made coastal flood defences might not be such a bad idea, what it is like studying gas exchange in the wilds of the Southern Ocean, and – in what could be the first case of '...
