The Collect package of resources supports students to try out user-centred design principles,  helping them to collect information about their chosen theme for the V&A Innovate challenge. The resources encourage students to explore, listen to people, observe and uncover everything they need to know to help...

Purpose: Good practical science should include a variety of types of investigation and locations. Digital technology can support activities that involve outdoor work and observations over time, without being disruptive to school routines. 

Teaching approach: In the example described in the link below, data...

Collisions: extra - chasing the ball!

Collisions: inelastic collision top view

Inelastic large spin

Collisions: inelastic little spin

Collisions: large mass into small mass

Collisions: oblique collision

Collisions: rebound (v-t)

Collision: small mass into large mass

Collisions: equal mass straight (x-t)

The Gravity Flight Suit uses kerosene as a fuel.  This resource explains the combustion of another hydrocarbon, methane, and the conditions needed for combustion of a fuel.

This full program code demonstrates how arguments can be passed to Python programs at the command line. The program dynamically generates graphics, and the user can change parameters for the graphics using command line arguments. Suggestions for additional challenges are also included.
