The UK currently relies heavily on electricity generated by fossil fuel power plants. But in order to cut down on air pollution and meet emission targets their use is being phased out. The big question is: how will we meet demands without them?

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Describe simply the structures and functions of the human digestive system.

• Describe simply the structures and functions of the human circulatory system.

Rather than support bridges from below, where piers may obstruct a river, it is possible to support bridges from above. The traditional way of doing this is with a suspension bridge. However, modern materials have enabled designers to also build “cable-stayed” bridges. Suspension and cable-staying systems cut down...
