Are you a smart consumer? Investigate thermochromatic paints with your students before designing and manufacturing your own ‘smart packaging’.
This activity will fit into a single lesson or club session (approximately 40 minutes to an hour). If you follow the suggested extras this project can be extended to several sessions.
Don’t want to use hot water? Try a hair dryer instead.
You may wish to think about alternative applications for thermo chromic paints, for example, common health and safety applications include saucepans, kettles and baby spoons.

Take a look at technical textiles and discover QTC (Quantum Tunnelling Composite). Use the resource to make quick and easy textile switches. Can your club develop these further?
This activity will fit into a single lesson or club session (approximately 40 minutes to an hour). Suggestions are given which will extend this project further.
Don't want to make a textile switch? Don't worry. An easy alternative is to use cardboard. Cut a piece of cardboard and fold it in two. Attach the QTC pill to the left side, and two pieces of foil with a gap to the right. When the card is folded the QTC pill should bridge the gap and complete the circuit.

Use this E.ON based resource for STEM Ambassadors to build and test pylon structures.
This activity will fit into a single lesson or club session (approximately 40 minutes to an hour).
Don’t have a glue gun? Try using paper fasteners and staples (with rolled up A4 paper) or spaghetti and marshmallows instead.

Use this resource to discover the properties of this curious material and make an engineered product.
This activity will fit into a single lesson or club session (approximately 40 minutes to an hour).
Can you relate the properties to body protection or sports wear?
