Practical 1 in the History in STEM practical series, looking at how students can do an experiment completed over 2000 years ago to get their own reasonably accurate value for the circumference of the Earth. Requires minimal equipment and very little time to get the data, however, does need you to be able to work with another school in a** different city** to get all the data points required to complete the calculation. Good for schools with a “sister school” in another state or country. More about the History in STEM practical Series This free sample is a preview of the History in STEM practical series, a set of practicals designed to bring quality cross-curricula material to STEM subjects, that help students to explore and discover phenomena normally taught, while getting a glimpse into the history of its development. In addition, a number of the practicals give the students the opportunity to play “Mythbusters”, looking at a number of different methods and having to reason why one or the other was the more likely or useful method. From Ancient Greece to Vikings, China to the Golden age of the Muslim empire and beyond to India, the series takes a look at some of the most important STEM achievements throughout history. There is a plan for 40 of these such practicals in this series, so, if you liked this one, consider looking at some of the others, or check out some of the bundles available.

Practical 24 in the History in STEM practical series. In this practical the students will test out the age old proverb of “Red Sunset, Sailor’s Delight. Red Sunrise, Sailors Warning”. This practical will take a few weeks to complete, but requires almost no material, beyond what many students have, namely a camera (or phone), pen and paper. The students observe the colour of the sunset over a time period set by yourself, and record what the weather is like the following day. The practical includes history of how people attempted to predict weather in the past, continues to an experiment with observations and finishes with a short research activity where the students go online to research other proverbs. This one is perfect for group work and allows for a great cross-curriculum link between Science, Mathematics, History and Geography.
