These cross-curricular Science, Design and Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activity days from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) encourage the development of students’ problem solving, team working and communication skills. Students achieve a better understanding of what engineering...
Drawing an electrical circuit diagram with symbols
This is one of a set of resources developed to support the teaching of the primary national curriculum. They are designed to support the delivery of key topics within science and design and technology. This resource focusses on the assembly of a simple series circuit and representing it using circuit symbols.
...Dress the elf maths activity
In this Christmas maths activity from the IET, children are tasked with making a brand new uniform for Santa's elves and calculating the number of possible outfit combinations.
Dress up game
This STEM activity supports pupils in a meaningful context to write and calculate statements for multiplication and to understand how to determine a number of different possibilities using the dress-the-model activity. Pupils will use a dress-the-model handout which they can colour in and then cut out, to find out...
Drop it
In this activity from the IET, pupils use the context of the theme, the future of flight, to design a method or system of getting emergency aid pallets from a future aircraft to the ground safely.
Pupils analyse existing methods of achieving this then use the information they've gathered to create...
Easy cookie recipe
This resource focusses on developing the understanding of ratio, fractions and scaling, by scaling up ingredients in a recipe. It could also be linked to learning in food technology, to demonstrate a practical application of maths. In this activity learners will scale up a cookie recipe that makes six cookies to a...
Easy rainbow experiment
In this STEM activity, pupils will use a torch and a CD to create rainbow reflection patterns on a piece of paper. Pupils will develop their understanding of how light reflects off objects, the colours that make up white light and how these are separated when shone onto a CD. This activity could be used as a...
Edges, vertices and faces
In this STEM activity, pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of 3D shapes. Pupils will have the opportunity to cut out 2D nets for a cube, cylinder and octahedron and fold them into their corresponding 3D shapes. From these models they will count the number of edges, vertices and faces on each shape...
Edible snowman
This well structured resource from the IET provides a quick and efficient way of making edible Rice Krispie Christmas snowmen, whilst learning about chemical reactions, measurements and ratios. This resource can be easily adapted to make any shape of Christmas themed treats, from Christmas trees, to Christmas...
Electric light bulb experiment
Inspired by the theme of the Victorians, this activity supports the teaching of design and technology in context by looking at the key events that defined the Victorian era, and how they have influenced engineering developments and society today.
In this classroom activity learners will learn about the...
