In this activity from the European Space Agency, students are introduced to the idea of remote observation of the Earth from space. They are asked to match photographs of different landscapes (mountains, lakes, rivers, cities, islands, and deserts) taken from the ground with photos of the same places taken by...

Using Christmas as an opportunity to get practical, this STEM activity from the IET enables pupils to explore different states of matter and moving molecules whilst trying to create frozen bubbles. The resource includes full lesson guidance...

This activity, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, helps students grasp the various sizes of planets in our Solar System using mostly fruit, with some other items. The class discussion before the activity encourages students to take an educated guess as to which...

This series of activities, aimed at primary level, explores different aspects of fruits and seeds and looks at how and why they are dispersed. Children identify the main characteristics of fruits and seeds by making careful observations, drawing them and labelling their important features. They then group them...

Produced by Rolls-Royce, this resource supports the teaching materials and their properties at Key Stage Two. It looks at irreversible changes and the formation of a new material by burning. Children are asked to consider different types of transport and the fuel that is used to make them work. They also list...

A skincare company are developing a new bubble bath recipe and want it to produce plenty of foam. The resources asks children to help to test their competitors' bubble bath recipes to see how they perform.

In this activity children will think about foam and its uses, and develop their own methods of making...

Future Morph Careers Quest was developed for students attending one of the the Big Bang science fairs. In the activity, students question exhibitors about aspects of their work and how they had chosen their particular career.

Whilst developed for an exhibition context, the resources can suggest questions for...

The challenges in this resource invite pupils to explore innovations within flight technology. Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore what we mean by climate change and what greenhouse gases are. They match the molecule diagrams to their descriptions and investigate rising temperature by setting up mini greenhouses. They also explore the lifecycle of an...

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, science and mathematics.

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore flight in nature investigating biomimicry and flight technology. They consider what the forces of flight are and investigate forces with gliders and through using a wind tunnel.

If the original physical materials...

What does the future hold? From what we wear, how we get our energy and even what we eat—there’s always room for innovation. Exploring technology and its possible applications in the future, with an emphasis on sustainability. Many of the activities could contribute toward becoming an Eco School.

This set of subject criteria were produced by the Ofqual, the Welsh Assembly and CEA (Northern Ireland) for Awarding Bodies to produce subject specifications for use in 2011 GCSE Science, GCSE Additional Science, GCSE Additional Applied Science, GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry, and GCSE Physics. GCSE specifications...

The Games and Activities sub-collection contains two resources with activities including modelling a lunar landscape using light and shadow and ordering things in space sequentially.

More and more local councils are introducing food recycling schemes. This activity, from the Centre for Science Education and the Comino Foundation, looks at the science behind the schemes and encourages students to consider how recycling food and reducing food waste can contribute to sustainability. Students then...
