Design an organic meal for a king
In this activity pupils will design a meal for King Charles III using only organic ingredients. They will consider the design brief and criteria for the meal before sketching and annotating an idea to meet the given requirements.
This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach about the...
Disaster relief
The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the RAF use science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills when delivering humanitarian aid. Students will design and make a lander for aid delivered by aircraft.
Welsh versions of the guidance documents are included.
Earthquake
This resource provides a film which explains how the movement of the tectonic plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis. Students are then introduced to a rescue operation to save the population of a string of islands known as the Snowpac chain. There has been a disastrous earthquake which has devastated this...
Ejection seat
The aim of this resource is to give students the opportunity to investigate the science, technology, engineering and mathematics involved in designing ejection seats. Students will explore the impact of ejecting from an aircraft on the human body and design an ejection seat for a bottle rocket.

Engineering enables
The development of running blades has greatly enhanced the running ability of amputees and people born without legs. In this activity students learn more about how the inventor of running blades applied the scientific concept of potential elastic energy and biomimicry to design a high performance prosthetic leg....
Expedition
This resource is based on Felicity Ashton’s expedition to Antarctica. Felicity was the first person to ski across Antarctica using only muscle power and the first women to cross Antarctica alone.
Students are introduced to the technologies that are used on expeditions to dangerous and remote locations,...
The challenges in this resource invite pupils to explore innovations within flight technology. Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more...
Future of flight - artificial intelligence
In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore the questions: 'Can machines think?', 'What is intelligence?' and 'What do we mean by artificial intelligence?' They explore where AI is used, spot patterns, continuing patterns and sequences. Students...
Future of flight - communication
In this Future of Flight challenge pupils create a system to send messages using LED signals through fibre optics, look at binary numbers as a form of communication, create a sorting machine that can order numbers and communicate in teams to build shapes and puzzles....
Future of flight - engines
In this Future of Flight challenge pupils investigate Newton’s Third Law by designing, building and racing balloon carts. They also explore what a jet engine is, and how it works, using an explanation of a jet engine to order the parts. They then build their own 3D Trent...
