Resources
The resources in this Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) collection look at fuel poverty and the topical issue of the cost and efficient use of energy. There is an emphasis on the use of functional mathematics to analyse and interpret published facts and figures. The resources can be used individually...
This item is one of over 25,000 physical resources available from the Resources Collection. The Archive Collection covers over 50 years of curriculum development in the STEM subjects. The Contemporary Collection includes all the latest publications from UK educational publishers.
Power Lines
Produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics, this video is aimed at teachers. Alom Shaha shows a demonstration that can be used to illustrate power transmission and why high voltages are used to minimise power loss.

Power Source: Oil and Energy
These materials, produced by the Earth Science Teachers' Association, look at oil and gas and their use as an energy source.
Students survey energy resources for a developing country. They look at the formation, migration and trapping of oil and gas deposits as well as their detection and extraction.
Power station event tree analysis
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students with the opportunity to explore the risk of failure of safety systems in a power station.
"A Power station experiences a loss of coolant to its reactor about once per year. To...
Power Station Project
The Power Station Project is a simulated case study from the Science in Society series dealing with the various decisions that have to be made when a new power station is being planned. It was designed as an integral part of the Energy section of the Science in Society course. It is assumed that an Electricity...
