Each Six for Six module features six complementary resources aligned to curriculum requirements for STEM subjects using real-world examples of Siemens technology, engineering or manufacturing principles as basis for learning. [Six for Six] (https://new.siemens.com/uk/en/company/education/teachers/six-for-six.html) Module 1 ‘Understanding the human body’ focuses on using and interpreting images to understand systems such as digestion and skeletal in the human body. Module 2 ‘Living in a world made by STEM’ explores the influence of science and technology on the world around us. Module 3 ‘Energy for thrills’ explores the topic of energy transfer using rollercoasters and electric busses as real world examples. Module 4 ‘Power to the people’ explores energy and electricity. Our lives in the 21st century rely on a supply of secure and cheap energy. Can we achieve this with out damaging the environment? Module 5 ‘Getting around’ explores the technology behind our transportation system, with a focus on electrification, automation and digitalisation. Module 6 ‘Building the things we need’ focuses on the manufacturing skills that are crucial to providing the products we need but they also provide jobs and develop skills. Manufacturing uses scientific ideas, logical thinking and an understanding of the wider world. Find more curriculm linked resources at www.siemens.co.uk/education.
