Water, Water, Everywhere? (11-14)
This resource, from Siemens UK, encourages students to appreciate the importance of clean water and the problems that may arise in the absence of it. Students consider soluble and insoluble pollutants and methods of filtration. They then explore contamination by microorganisms, water-borne diseases and the...

Waterside Redevelopment is designed for teachers of 7 to 14 year olds, wishing to use the context of a new or redevelopment project as a basis for Technology and cross-curricular activities.
Included are activities appropriate to five contributing subject areas of the Technology Curriculum, and to the...
These resources from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, produced in association with Fairfield Control Systems, explore the theme of waterways.
Watson constructing base pair models
During the process of trying to elucidate the structure of DNA, Jim Watson made some cardboard models to try to understand how DNA nucleotides are paired. It helped him visualize how hydrogen atoms of paired nucleotides interact with each other to form a symmetrical structure that fits the double helix model.
...Wave amplitude and intensity
Comparing two sine waves of different amplitudes, this video shows that the intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude. The intensity is given I = P/A, i.e., power per cross-sectional area.
Wave Machine
In this video, produced by the National STEM Learning Centre and the Institute of Physics, Alom Shaha describes a simple but effective wave machine. Aimed at teachers, this video explains how to make the wave machine using adhesive tape, jelly babies and wooden skewers. He explains how it can be used to...
Wave on a String
In the simulation students can watch a string vibrate in slow motion. You can wiggle the end of the string and make waves, or adjust the frequency and amplitude of an oscillator. The simulation also allows you to adjust the damping and tension.
Sample learning outcomes include:
*Discuss wave...
