Prosthetics imitating the human body
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), is a quick, engaging introduction to a lesson looking at the properties of modern materials and how these are used to imitate human body parts. Students think about human body parts which can...
Puff pastry pizza swirls recipe
Designed to be accessible for all primary aged children, this activity guides you and your pupils through the simple steps to design, measure, mix and bake puff-pastry pizza whirls. Suitable for ages four to eleven, this could be carried out as part of a design and technology or maths lesson, and is simple to...
Pulleys - forces in equilibrium
This video demonstrates an experiment that uses equilibrium equations to find an unknown mass. The video includes details of the equipment required as well as the method, calculations and principles involved.
Pulleys - forces in motion
This video and accompanying teacher notes explore how constant acceleration equations can be used to make predictions. The video includes details of the equipment and set up required, the principles and calculations involved as well as applications of the equations used.
The resources in this collection, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), look at how we meet our increasing water demands, the importance of clean water to public health, water shortages and engineering solutions to providing clean water. There is also a product design project to develop a ‘...
Pure Water
This video, for the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at how water is becoming an increasingly precious resource, even in affluent places like California where the infrastructure is struggling to cope with demand. Engineers have looked at extreme conservation, sea water desalination, importing...
Puzzling paperchains
This resource from the IET teaches pupils about number sequences, patterns and predictions, in the context of making Christmas paper chains. Pupils are challenged to create the longest paper chain with just three pieces of paper.
Pythagoras theorem
This worksheet challenges students to answer a series of questions themed around using Pythagoras theorem. 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.
Queuing systems
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore the mathematics behind queuing at a shop till.
"Queuing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. In queuing theory, a model is...
Range of Human Hearing
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the range of human hearing, to explore the pitch and frequency of sounds and to calculate the wavelength of sounds.
