The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on the development of stealth vehicles.

Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the field of mechanical engineering. Here students learn that lack of proper insulation results in large energy losses which, over time, cost a lot of money. Models are used to calculate the value of the critical...

Students will understand the concept of steganography and will create a bitmap image. They will explore colour depth and know how to convert a custom image to binary. They will be able to decode binary images and use pattern recognition to identify abnormal data.

These resources are set in the context of the...

In these two activities, from the Royal Observatory Greenwich, students use bearings to plot constellations. They are then asked to think about what they represent.

The Higher Level file has more complex...

Produced in 2015, these resources look at research involving the use of nanoparticles and fluorescent proteins to track transplanted stem cells in living organisms.

They can be used to tackle a range of topics in post...

This excel workbook shows how to construct a stem and leaf diagram. The first sheet has some raw data at the top and a blank stem and leaf diagram with appropriate key is shown below. The cells in the stem and leaf diagram can be revealed or hidden and by clicking on...

Spinal cord injuries can have devastating consequences because damage to the spinal cord inhibits or even prevents impulses being carried between the central and peripheral nervous system.

In this activity students...

These are classroom based resources designed to show students how to prepare for fieldwork and perform a group survey of geologically-interesting points in their immediate locality. The resource consists of three units:

This activity aimed at primary learners looks at the properties and uses of materials focussing on aluminium and steel. Children find out more about these two materials and how they differ and learn about how much energy can be saved if these materials are recycled. They then design two cartoon characters; Alice...

In this activity students begin with a simple introduction to the stock market; calculating new prices for a variety of fictional shares based on daily percentage changes.

The task requires students to calculate simple percentage changes. A spreadsheet is provided for students to record their results which...

This lesson uses the context of traffic jams in London to consider the forces acting on vehicles and passengers.

Learning outcomes:

• Students must be able to describe the nature of the forces acting on vehicles when they are speeding up, travelling at a constant speed and decelerating.
• ...

This Study Plus unit from the National Strategies, takes a practical example of costing advertising space in a newspaper and involves the use of spreadsheets to assist in calculating and re-calculating costs. It aims to develop students' awareness of the need for algebraic formulae.

Students need to...

Stop the spread is a new STEM challenge for students aged 7 to 16. Highlighting the global issue of infectious disease students design, build and test a model of a hand washing device and produce educational materials for children in Kenya to encourage hand washing. It is accredited for the British Science...

A straight line is shown with the x and y axis intercepts shown. A point P is marked on the line but the coordinates are not given. P is then joined back to the origin, splitting the triangle into two parts. The challenge is to find the area of...
