Automated DNA sequencing output
The output from an automated DNA sequencing robot used by the Human Genome Project to determine the complete human DNA sequence. Each peak shows the presence of a particular base. The sequence of bases in a given stretch of DNA can therefore be read from the order of the peaks along the trace. The sequences of...
Automated for the Future is an inquiry-based elementary school educational resource. Students delve into the complex world of coding,...
Automated machines at Brompton
This film looks at why automated machines, such as a CNC machine, are used in the production of Brompton bicycles. The need for space has resulted in the manufacture of some parts being sub-contracted, which can create quality control issues....
A collection of five videos dedicated to Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATV). ATVs are expendable, pressurised unmanned resupply spacecraft developed by the European Space Agency (ESA). They are designed to supply the International Space Station (ISS) with propellant, water, air, payloads, and experiments. They can...
Automatic Lighting
This longer-duration activity involves prototyping a low-power lighting system. It could be used in an off-timetable workshop or across a series of lessons.
Students are challenged to work through the whole design process, and to place a micro-controller (in this case a BBC micro:bit) at the centre of the...
Automated systems control which neighbourhoods get policed, which families attain resources and who is investigated for fraud. The author investigates the impacts of data mining, policy algorithms, and predictive risk models on economic inequality and democracy.

Autosub 6000 Ocean Floor Mission
In this resource learners will use Scratch, to debug and then improve a program to move Autosub6000 around the ocean floor, photographing samples found. The remote movement will be controlled through a keyboard’s arrow keys initially and then the children will be challenged to create a program which will move...
Autumn into Winter
This book was written by the Nuffield Junior Science project to show teachers how seasonal materials offer children many opportunities to carry out simple investigations. The aim was to help children to build up, over the years, a picture of the continuity and wholeness...
