Anaerobic Digestion

From the National Non-Food Crops centre (NNFC), this factsheet reviews the potential of anaerobic digestion technology and its suitability to UK farming and waste systems. The factsheet describes the application of anaerobic digestion (AD), which is the conversion of organic non-woody material in the absence of...

Analogue mission

This activity allows pupils to simulate the robotic exploration of Mars. Pupils will have the opportunity to take on the role of the rover controlled by mission control as well as being able to build their own remote control rover. Pupils will use a map of Mars to set out regions of interest and hazards before...

Analogue mission

This activity gives students the opportunity to navigate a map of Mars looking for regions of interest they will receive ‘mission’ data from to analyse. Students will first work in teams on an interactive activity, navigating terrain as either a rover or mission control. The main part of the activity asks students...

Analyse energy consumption data

In this activity, students use data on electricity consumption to investigate how average values are calculated. They also consider how accurate a source of published data is and whether it may contain bias.

Analyse sewage tunnel design

This extension activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), follows on from the How Much Waste?...

This book answers questions such as how did Walter Reed solve the mystery of yellow fever? Will balls of different masses fall at the same speed? This series shows how the reader can accomplish experiments and...

This series shows how the reader can accomplish experiments and interpret the results.
