This resource focusses on understanding density and, through a series of practical tests, working out which materials are low and high density. In this activity learners will learn about the density of materials through testing. Learners will have an opportunity to weigh and work out the volume of an object. They...

This resource uses Fusion 360 to design and model a keyring stand for a smart phone. Students use simple sketching tools to either create their own design, or use the sample tutorial provided.

This resource supports students to create a way of squeezing toothpaste out of a traditional toothpaste tube. Students are presented with the challenge, measure different sizes of tooth paste tubes and design a product based upon the example shown. A tutorial to create an example product is provided using Fusion...

This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within design and technology and maths. This resource focusses on drawing a plan view of a classroom.

Different types of drawing are used to...

This resource encourages pupils to make a card model of a car body from a net. Pupils will learn about nets, wheels and axles. They will combine these technologies to make the base and body for a vehicle made from card. This activity introduces and builds on knowledge of nets to make a complex three-dimensional...

Having a celebration? Use these handy guides and templates to bring design and technology skills in to your classroom, adding a touch of skill to your crown making. Suitable for four to eleven year olds, the template is easily adaptable for all head shapes and sizes. Use the templates provided to cut out, spend...

This resource could be used as a short design and make project in Key Stage 2, or as the design and modelling stages of a project to make a grabber out of resistant materials.

In this activity, students will make a 'grabber' device from card.

This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on producing a Newton’s cradle that uses magnets instead of the usual metal spheres.

In this activity, students assemble a simple electric circuit. This develops understanding of how electric circuits function.

In this activity, students assemble a variety of different switches from commonly available items. This develops understanding of how switches are used, electrical conduction and how electric circuits function.

This resource shows how you can successfully lift a person off the ground using two cordless leaf blowers, problem-solving skills and some STEM knowledge: the same knowledge and skills that are used to design hovercraft.

This project uses Fusion 360 to demonstrate the design of a cable tidy for a smartphone charger. In additional to basic CAD sketching tools, the resources prompts students to use the 'revolve' function and export their file for 3D printing.

This lesson explains how to prepare a model for 3D printing. It looks at creating an exportable file (STL) from Fusion 360 and describes the key settings that students will need to understand when slicing a file (I.e. infill, layer height, raft). This resource is useful to those not using Fusion 360, but you may...

In this activity from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students work in teams to investigate the measures that could be applied to reduce the carbon footprint of their own school. They then prepare a presentation summarising their recommendations....

This lesson looks at the process of slicing a file ready for 3D printing. It provides an overview of key 3D printing terms (I.e. infill, density, raft) and explains the importance of simulation in completing a print successfully. This resource uses UPStudio software as its example but the key terms should be...
