Collect your free drone!
|
This resource gives students the opportunity to explore how drones work and how they can be used for civilian, humanitarian and commercial purposes.
In each activity, students undertake challenges relating to a different system within the drone as well as thinking about the impact the technology might have. There are a range of KS3 and KS4 D&T, computing, science and mathematics topics covered including binary numbers, energy, forces and motion, geometry and measure, interpreting graphs, ratios, solving problems, waves and many more.
The resources consist of a teacher’s guide to explain how the activities could be used which includes curriculum links, six activities and two case studies about engineers involved in autonomous vehicles. Drones: Friend or Foe can be run as a STEM enrichment day or as an on-going lunch time or after school club (approximately four hours in total). Attendees at the event will receive a resources box to take back to their school to aid delivery of the project. (As pictured)
