Physics: Pacemakers
Through exciting hands-on activities, this resource challenges students to understand the impact of resistive forces, specifically air resistance, and the ways that this can be minimised on moving objects.

Zero Days Introduction
Assembly style resource designed to be used with larger ‘bubble’ groups or as a smaller tutor group session. It looks at how we reduce the risk of illness through adopting methods successfully used by INEOS Sports teams to ensure ZERO days are lost to training or competition.
The Latest on INEOS Team UK
The countdown to the 36th America’s Cup is on, INEOS TEAM UK are hard at work towards Auckland 2021.
Check out their latest video to see how the team are getting on!

Trending resources
Speed, distance, time
This Maths and Science topic uses the real-life context of the British America’s Cup team INEOS TEAM UK and covers interpreting distance-time graphs, drawing distance-time graphs from given data and defining speed as the distance covered in a set time.
Materials and their uses
This Design and Technology topic looks at some of the modern and composite materials used by the British America’s Cup team INEOS TEAM UK. It examines different materials used in the construction of the boat and why they are selected. It also looks at the materials used in the construction of the crew’s clothing and the properties of these materials that make them suitable for their use.
Energy stores and transfers
This Physics topic uses the real-life context of the British America’s Cup team INEOS TEAM UK to introduce the concept of energy. It examines the different ways in which energy can be stored and transferred and how this relates to the performance of the boat and crew.
Featured Resources
*STEM Crew Mini Challenges*
We have put together a series of fun STEM Crew Mini-Challenges. These practical challenges are a great way to learn about the Science that INEOS TEAM UK’s Designers and Engineers apply to the design of British America’s Cup race boat, ‘Britannia’.
Forces introduction
This introductory Forces video is designed to be used as a short introduction to the five lesson resources that look at specific areas of forces in more detail.
*Remote Learning Projects*
We have put together a series of 6 student projects which can be used either in the classroom or at home. These projects are based on the concept of Big Questions – a Big Question is a way of guiding pupils to make links between distinct subject areas and relate them to the world around them.
Modern Materials
Amaze your class by making flexible glass fibre in front of their eyes. Through the exciting context of the America’s Cup sailing, supported by the Lloyds Register Foundation archives, this teaching resource explores composite and nano materials for Design Technology and Engineering as well as supporting the nanoparticles element of the Science curriculum.
Code for the Cup
This engaging activity will promote computational thinking, whilst providing both a challenge and a competitive experience. Throughout this topic, students will understand the importance of coding efficiency by exploring a range of algorithmic solutions developed using code blocks. They will sequence instructions to develop a program which they will test and then make further refinements.
SCHOOL STEM VISITS
STEM Crew HQ is located at INEOS TEAM UK’s ‘state-of-the-art’ base in Portsmouth. This educational resource centre for students and teachers helps support and promote STEM learning in schools. We offer a range of free workshops aimed at supporting the KS2-4 curriculum.
SAILING OPPORTUNITIES
Sailing is a fantastic sport that gives young people the opportunity to learn a wide range of skills, and provides a great platform for applying STEM learning, which can lead to career opportunities they may not have considered. Sailing develops key life skills, builds confidence, fosters team work & cultivates resilience.
