Pizza fractions
This STEM activity introduces pupils to fractions by giving them the opportunity to cut a pizza in a range of ways. Pupils will be able to show how pizza can be shared into equal parts and recognise halves and quarters as part of a whole unit. This activity could be used as a starter or main activity to introduce...
Plotting graphs
This worksheet challenges students to plot a variety of graphs using data set within a design and technology context. It provides worked examples, examiners top tips and answers to each question. The resource is useful for teaching maths content in design and technology, or as a maths activity sheet.
Pop-up airport
This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in engineering and design technology.
In this activity pupils will design a pop-up airport to allow the delivery of food supplies to people in...
Population growth
In this scheme of work from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), students investigate sewage tunnels that are being built under London. Within this activity, students will consider how society has changed over time, to identify the influences that have...
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...
Power House
This video looks at the challenges of reducing global warming and carbon emissions. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is a new boiler technology which has the potential to transform the way electricity is produced and distributed. This is currently used in industrial and commercial settings, but micro CHP could offer...
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...
Practical probability
This resource focusses on probability, using the act of taking an item of fruit at random from a bag. In this activity learners will develop understanding of the possible outcomes of simple random events. They will also understand that there is a degree of uncertainty about the outcome of some events. The teacher...
Presenting fitness data
In this activity, students use the data gathered during the Wii Fitness investigation to contextualise cumulative frequency curves. Curriculum links include grouped data, cumulative frequency graphs. box plots, median, quartiles and distribution.
