Water cycle activity
In this STEM activity pupils will perform an experiment to investigate how rain falls from clouds. The activity asks pupils to spray shaving foam on top of a glass of water to create a ‘cloud’, before adding food colouring and watching as the cloud fills up, producing ‘rain’. Pupils will then have the opportunity...
Water Treatment Systems
In this practical activity, students investigate the salinity of three different water samples using a multimeter. Students first calibrate their salination probe and test the salinity of their solutions. Students can be asked to suggest how errors might have appeared...
Water wheel construction
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, looks at the trigonometry and scale drawing involved in the construction of water wheels.
"A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of...
These resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, explore the theme of waterways.
Wearable cockpit
This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in design technology, engineering and mathematics. Modern technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR...
Well placement between villages
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, asks students to use Pythagoras' Theorem and geometric constructions to find the optimal place for a water well.
"In a large semi-desert area, three small villages are to share a new well....
What Am I?
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and technology (IET), asks students to investigate a simple piezoelectric device. The engineers behind the Watt Nightclub in Rotterdam investigated the use of the piezoelectric effect to turn the energy created by...
What are programmable systems?
In this activity, learners will self-assess and plan how to extend their current knowledge of programmable systems.
What is a circular economy?
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to develop understanding of two conceptual approaches to environmental issues - the linear economy and the circular economy - in the context of the design and operation of a new...
These resources introduce what is meant by a program and programming commands. Activities include asking learners to create a set of instructions that will solve a problem, as well as building on understanding of programming commands and what they are used to do in a program.
