Spaceport UK
The UK is planning to develop several spaceports to launch rockets carrying satellites into space. This resource contains eight activities, which look at the development of a UK Spaceport and the launch of satellites into Earth orbit. They link to aspects of geography, science and engineering. Each activity...
Spaceship bonds
This resource focuses on addition bonds. Four equilateral triangles are joined in a lattice with a circle at each vertex. The numbers 1 to 8 must be placed in the circles in a way that ensures each triangle has numbers where the larger number is the sum of two smaller numbers. The resource is suitable for Key Stage...

Spaghetti bridges
This activity could be used in Key Stage 2 as a stand-alone activity, as a focused task to develop skills in the use of the glue gun, or as part of a structures project investigating bridges.
In this activity, students develop both their skills in using a glue gun and demonstrate their understanding of how...
Spaghetti structures
This activity could be used in Key Stage 2 as a stand-alone activity, as a focused task to develop skills in the use of the glue gun, or as an introduction to a design and make project, such as the spaghetti bridges.
In this activity, students develop both their skills in using a glue gun and demonstrate...
Spaghetti Structures
Engineers put pure scientific knowledge into practice – but their jobs often involve practical testing, problem-solving and teamwork too. This activity calls all of these skills into action, to help build a tall, strong tower using spaghetti and marshmallows.
Learning outcomes:
- Investigate the...
Spaghetti Towers
Aimed at primary learners, this resource asks children to design and build a tower using spaghetti and marshmallows. This challenge links design and technology, mathematics and science as children use problem-solving strategies and knowledge of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes to build their towers....
