Key Stage 3

The Ingenious Engineering Augmented Reality (AR) app was developed to complement the design and technology national curriculum requirements for students in KS3. Ingenious Engineering is a fun and engaging way for students to learn more about inventions and innovations in engineering. Using the app, look at the Ingenious Engineering poster or CT scanner t-shirt and discover a series of AR animations and explanations of Siemens technology. As students complete the supporting worksheets, they can explore the impact of automation, digitalisation and electrification on individuals, society and the environment.

Download the Ingenious Engineering App from the App Store or Google Play.

Linking to both the Science and Design and Technology KS3 curricula, these resources explore the concepts of aerodynamics, forces and movement, and introduce students to exciting Digital Twin technology. 

Students can explore Digital Twin technology and learn about how it makes the engineering design process more sustainable by building and testing their own Digital Twin car in this interactive game!

This combined resource contains worksheets for several topics within the KS3 Geography curriculum relating to Green Cities and Air Quality. Topics include: Weather and Climate; Population; Urban Environments and Pollution; and Sustainable Growth and Technology. 

Alongside these resources, you can play the Green City interactive game. Manage air quality levels in your Green City over a seven day period by using a range of air quality sensors and measures. 

Siemens and The Wildlife Trusts aim to help students learn more about their environment and the affects that human actions can have. By sharing the expertise of our partner charity and using Siemens’ technological know-how on sustainability and other topics, the resource will help students see that the issues are interconnected and demonstrate how possible solutions benefit both humanity and nature.

Learn about Sustainable Cities, Decarbonisation and how to become a Green Leader in this Smart Infrastructure interactive game

Developed in assosiation with Thorpe Park Formula for Thrills is a resource designed to contextualise mathematical reasoning for students in KS3. Through the design of a theme park students explore a range of topics including ratio and proportion, geometry and manipularing equations

Additionally, in this collection of resources you will find support materials for our interactive game, Formula for Thrills this game can be used in conjuntion with the maths focus activities to explore the science topic energy and forces.

Designed to complement the KS3 Physics curriculum, Energy Farm introduces students to the opportunities and challenges presented by different energy generation technologies. 

Students are required to implement an energy system that meets the demand whilst minimising the cost and environmental impact. 

This lesson plan encourages pupils to learn more about what MRI imaging is, what it does, why it is useful and what it’s like to have a scan. It provides ideas for using the new MRI Scan Experience app and supports teachers in using both the app and other Siemens Education resources to produce an engaging and effective lesson. The MRI Scan Experience (Siemens Healthineers) app is available on iTunes (iPad only) and Google Play.

The Greenpower Challenge, an initiative of The Greenpower Education Trust, is supported by Siemens and promotes sustainable engineering to young people.

Learn about bacteria, viruses and how we can control their spread through public safety measures and smart building technology. 

In addition to these resources, you can also play the Neutralise the Threat interactive game.  You will have to work quickly to keep the customers and shop owners in your shopping centre safe from COVID-19!

Explore the challenges facing bus designers when producing a bus for an urban environment. Investigate how different solutions can be identified and evaluated, and collaborate to present recommendations for an effective solution.

Understand the process of energy transfer, explaining the operation of internal combustion and photovoltaic cells - and applying knowledge to propose how clean technologies can be promoted.  

Understand and apply concept of solubility. Develop an understanding of separation techniques and their application.

This topic is about the effective use of low energy light bulbs and how they have enabled the waterfront at Durban in South Africa to be transformed. The first episode sets the scene by showing how lighting is not only a technical process but has a social impact too. It then presents students with the challenge of finding the   best way of producing cheap and even illumination over an area.

Gather and use data to support conclusions relating to energy efficiency and arguments about noise pollution; use ideas to inform discussions about overall power supply systems and judge impact of design on environment and communities.

Identify how sequences of commands can be used to run equipment and how logic operation can respond to inputs and control outputs.

This resource introduces students to energy transfer, renewable energy and  the complexities of power supply. 

This resouce can be used in conjunction with the Energy Island interactive game. 

Gather, display data and interpret it to explain energy transfer and efficiency; apply concepts of energy transfer and conservation to building design and design solutions to meet various characteristics of a given brief.

Develop a sense of scale and proportion with regard to measurement of frequency. Understand concepts of sound and ultrasound with use of a wave model.

Understand the process of hearing and the use of loudness and frequencies to compare sounds.
