Sheila Kanani is a PhD student in Planetary Science working on using data from the Cassini Spacecraft at the Mullard Space Science laboratory at University College London. In this video, Sheila describes what happens in her workplace where every part of the spacecraft is designed, built and analysed with data...
Shelf Stand
This resource from Boxford describes the development of a shelf stand to store boxes of electronic components. The rationale for the product is described and photographs show what it must be able to store and what it looks like once fully made. Curriculum links include the use of CAD/CAM to produce products.
The Shell Centre has produced a range of innovative teaching materials for mathematics education, together with research publications and tests. Most of these were developed at the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at the University of Nottingham, UK. The two collections, Numeracy through Problem Solving and...

This task is designed to assess how well students understand proportional reasoning and how it relates to graphs.
The task is set in the context of making shelves by using planks of wood supported by three bricks at each end. Students investigate both the materials and costs involved for making different...
Shifting Sewage
This film, from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), looks at the London sewerage system. This is a combined system in which dirty water from households and excess rainwater all ends up in the same place. When heavy rainfall fills the system it needs to be able to overflow into the river rather than...
Through these resources, students investigate sewage tunnels that are being built under London and consider how society has changed over time, to identify the influences that have resulted in the needs for a new tunnel. Activities challenge students to use their mathematical skills to calculate critical dimensions...
