This report, from the University and College Union, evaluates the costs and benefits of higher and further education. Focusing on industrial strategy and innovation, the report argues that universities and colleges have a central role to play in the development of enterprise. The UK’s future economic prosperity...

Following on from the resource ‘Indices’, this resource from Susan Wall contains four activities designed to explore the rules of indices as well as differentiating and integrating functions containing indices. 

The rules of indices with...

This resource contains forty ‘rich starting points’ (or risps) for those studying Further Mathematics A Level. Each risp activity aims to make learning more exploratory and open-ended whilst still covering the syllabus requirements.

Each activity contains prompts or questions to be shared with students,...

This collection from Susan Wall, is a more comprehensive version of the resource 'Thinking Questions'. Each resource contains a number of open–ended questions which explore understanding and allow a variety of approaches. Each question is easily accessible but can be extended to make a more complex problem....

Future Morph was a careers website, provided by the Science Council, designed to provide information for young people, their parents and teachers about the jobs available from studying science and maths. It aimed to show young people that studying science and maths post-16 could provide them with the skills and...

Future Morph Careers Quest was developed for students attending one of the the Big Bang science fairs. In the activity, students question exhibitors about aspects of their work and how they had chosen their particular career.

Whilst developed for an exhibition context, the resources can suggest questions for...

These resources provide careers-related contexts to support teaching of the science and mathematics subject curricula. The materials help students understand the relevance of science and mathematics to a wide range of career routes, many of which they do not necessarily associate with these subjects. The resources...

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...

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...

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....

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils design a virtual cockpit and learn to think like a pilot, working systematically to move people and medical supplies. They will also create programs to test reaction times, stress levels and check temperature then put together a...

In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore the materials they know and how they might be grouped. They also consider what materials they could use to regulate temperature and protect against the cold. They create a bouncy ball using a synthetic material and...

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 design technology, engineering, science and mathematics.
