Partners, Engineering the Future and SSERC, have shared with us support materials which could be used in conjunction with the STEM Central Electric Transport context for learning. It could relate to the Modelling learning journey.

Learners design, test and modify a crumple zone for a vehicle to achieve and measure the maximum reduction in the force of an impact. This is an SSERC activity that has been added to so that it can be used in the classroom with an engineering focus. It links to physics work related to forces and engages pupils in practical trialling and explanation of ways of designing effective ‘crumple zones’ for vehicles.
