A series of resources from The Institution of Engineering and Technology designed to allow pupils to use the theme of the London Marathon to develop their knowledge and skills in Design & Technology.
This set of resources combine sport with engineering and showcase the many ways that STEM influences sport as well as the variety of different career paths. Activities range from using fractions and probabilities to build a football team to designing their own football kit. All are mapped to the national curriculum...
This set of resources combine sport with engineering showing how STEM influences sport in many areas from making a sensor to test a waterlogged sports pitch to presenting fitness data. Each activity is mapped to the curriculum and comes with lesson plans and presentations.
Inclined planes
This video and accompanying teacher notes explore inclined planes, friction and resolving forces. The video includes details of an experiment that demonstrates the principles involved, the calculations used and ideas for further experiments.
Living in a highly technological world, where access to information and entertainment is at our fingertips, the Inform and Entertain Me topic, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), is a gateway to engage and introduce students to the principles and technology that form the basis for...
Input, Process and Output
This resource looks at what properties of infra-red make it so useful in gaming technology? Students develop a working prototype of a simple infra-red electronic circuit, identify an input and an output and test the performance of the circuit. They then explain how the findings of their research could affect their...
Inputs and Outputs of Design
Using the context of the Nintendo Wii, this starter activity develops an understanding of the terms system, input, process, output and signal, and asks students to identify these features in some common products which are shown in the presentation.
...Interpreting graphs
This worksheet challenges students to gather information from graphs. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.
Investigate reverse writing through mirror games
This STEM activity teaches learners about the reflection of light in a mirror, by giving pupils the opportunity to use reverse writing to see how words change when reflected in a mirror and then make notes on this. This activity could be used as a starter or main activity to introduce concepts of light and build on...
Investigate the James Webb Space Telescope
This IET DIY Faraday Challenge asks students to design and prototype a product or process involved in creating the James Webb Space Telescope. Your design must include an electric circuit and should be designed as a working prototype.
The James Webb Space Telescope (or Webb for short), will allow us...
