Slide 2: STEM Club challenges
STEM Club challenges These challenges were developed as part of the Ultimate STEM Challenge. The competition is now closed but why not complete one of the challenges as part of your school’s STEM Club? We want you to put their STEM skills to the test and tackle some real-life problems to address an
Slide 3: Increasing efficiency: getting more from less
Increasing efficiency: getting more from less Science and technology enable human beings to achieve many things, including creating the products that make up the world we enjoy today – and those that will shape our future. All this needs energy: energy to extract raw materials, energy to process and
Slide 4: Efficiency: getting more from less
Efficiency: getting more from less • Can you explain what ‘efficiency’ means? • Can you think of some examples of where products or activities are becoming more energy efficient? • Can you think of any products or activities that still need to become much more energy efficient?
Slide 5: About BP
About BP BP is one of the world's leading international oil and gas companies.
Slide 6: Increasing efficiency at BP
Increasing efficiency at BP BP is constantly seeking new ways of increasing their energy efficiency to get more from less – from keeping cool in the office to smooth travel across oceans
Slide 7: BP case studies
BP case studies The following case studies show real-life examples of BP working to reduce their energy usage in a range of different situations. In all of these cases, BP scientists have to use STEM to address the challenge of increasing efficiency.
Slide 8: Trim Turbines
Trim Turbines BP Auwahi Wind farm - Hawaii •BP has a wind farm in Hawaii that’s on top of a volcano! •It can be very windy up there, which is helpful for powering wind turbines •Just 8 of these turbines will make enough energy to power 10,000 homes
Slide 9: Streamlined Ships
Streamlined Ships BP’s Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) • VLCC’s are the largest oil tankers on the planet •BP’s British Vantage VLCC tanker is 331m long – that’s bigger than the Eiffel Tower! •These oil tankers make trips from Venezuela all the way to China a 15,881 mile journey which takes 44 days

Slide 14: STEM Club challenges
STEM Club challenges Now get ready to choose your challenge. Each challenge will put your STEM skills to the test as you tackle some real-life problems to address important global issues.
Slide 15: Streamlined Ships
BP Shipping transports oil, liquid Streamlined natural gas and other products around the world. Efficient ships Ships use less fuel, allowing BP Shipping to minimise its environmental impact. Do an investigation to find the most efficient design for a large tanker.
Slide 16: Trim Turbines
BP operates 13 wind farms in the U.S. Trim and invests in 13 others – together they generate enough renewable electricity to Turbines power about 500,000 homes. More efficient wind turbines can increase the amount of power each of them produces, helping to tackle climate change. Do an investigation
Slide 17: Better Buildings
BP uses innovative ways to increase Better energy efficiency in some of its buildings. Buildings One major way that buildings use up energy is through air conditioning and central heating. Do an investigation to design and test energy efficient ways of keeping a building cool in summer OR warm in wi

How to complete your challenge Working in groups: • Choose your challenge • Create a PowerPoint presentation or • Create a YouTube video showing how you approached your experiment
Slide 19: Judges' criteria
Judges’ criteria If you are running this as part of a school competition then you may wish to use the same judging criteria as the Ultimate STEM Challenge. This would include demonstrating the following: • Excellence of method – have you followed a sound scientific method? • Communication skills – c
Slide 20: Sound scientific method
Sound scientific method To follow a good scientific method you should: • make a hypothesis • do your research • make sure your experiment is a fair test • can you replicate your results? • analyse your results • present your evidence and explain your conclusion clearly. To find out more about follow
