This is a power point and worksheet for teaching inputs and outputs for electronic circuits and circuit diagrams. There is a worksheet and information sheet for teaching students about different inputs and outputs and the power point reinforces that knowledge by asking students to draw different circuit diagrams using the information they have.

A structures lesson based around making a structure to hold as much weight as possible. All you need is art straws, paper and some weights.

This is a powerpoint for a STEM lesson about making a boat out of a piece of A4. This is a stand alone 1 hour lesson that can be used as a fun activity but also explains the design process, from initial ideas, research, developed ideas, modelling, testing and evaluating. All you need is a piece of card for each team, tape and some weights. 100g weights up to 1kg works well. (And some water).

Electronic component worksheets used to consolidate the knowledge of simple electronic components used in most school projects, looks at resistor values and LEDs, Capacitors and Battery Clips. Two versions of the worksheet to aid different ability students.

Worksheet looking at a number of different electronic components used in schools and their features. Also used to test students on their knowledge of soldering and the techniques used. Differentiated worksheet included to aid lower ability students.

Resistor Value worksheet. Variations of working out resistor values, including tolerances and kilo and mega ohms as well as working backwards from the values to the colours. Includes a table explaining the colours and their values, can be used as a homework or extension task or just to teach about values of resistors.

Resources to aid the understanding of electronic components. This includes a number of cards which explain various components designed to be set up in 'stations'. Students then fill in their worksheets moving around the class to find the information. There are two worksheets one of which is differentiated for students that struggle with literacy. There is also a starter task for the next lesson or a way of consolidating the learning of the different components.

Lesson starter or Bell task that asks students to consider products they have used that use electricity and how they might have done the same thing before electricity was discovered. Exploration of electronics and products, can be group or individual work.
