A SI Units reference sheet. I issue to physics and engineering students to keep as a handy reference at the front of their folders. Easy to read, feel free to copy and paste anything featured here.

A worksheet introducing students to measurement using engineering tools. First section describes the methods used to measure using the micrometer, the second section describes measurement using the vernier scale. Both sections are complete with some sample activities to test the students knowledge. I would use the worksheet along with the actual measuring tools so the students can handle the equipment as they work, this will reinforce their learning. It will be helpful for a teacher who already knows how to read both scales to teach as it will require some explanation to support the work.

29 page Engineering materials booklet covering the main introductory principles of metals, grain structures and properties; including facts, information, images and diagrams. It goes from basic materials properties through to grain structure, crystallisation and mechanical properties. There are no activities in the booklet itself however they could be easily produced from the large amount of content. Booklet is suited for post 16 - Level 3 introductory classes or advanced Level 2 classes, it could even be purposed for GCSE chemistry students. Please feel free to cut, chop and paste anything in the booklet to suit your own needs.

Three powerpoints and a word document that describe the processes of power generation and the methods that are used in order to send it around the country. Useful for a cover teacher or as introductory sessions into the subject of electricity and power. Appropriate for all ages, each set of slides uses descriptions and images to show its respective topic. The Battery Cell Construction document is for information or revision but could be used as a basis for activities if required. Please feel free to cut, chop and paste anything from the resources to suit your own needs.

Engineering materials activity - Useful for having students complete for research and then to keep for revision purposes. Great for a cover session where the cover teacher might have IT use, students can complete a meaningful task that will be useful to them later in the course. Used with Level 1 and 2 BTEC Engineering students - only minimal teacher intervention required for students to show progress in engineering materials.

Activity and Information sheet on the subject of Adhesives. There is a description and activities on all kinds of engineering adhesives to aid in teaching students of BTEC and City & Guilds in engineering (or pretty much any skilled trade where adhesives would play a part) Feel free to chop and change whatever you like to suit your own preferences.

Handout that would be useful for a cover teacher to teach students how to produce threaded holes and bar in a workshop setting. If workshop facilities are not available, students can use the questions at the end of the document to revise for theory based exams. Feel free to chop and change anything you want in order to meet your teaching needs.

Booklet that covers a wide range of the specification for the BTEC unit 1 - The Engineered World. All activities are fully answered already - before issuing to students you might want to spend bit of time deleting the answers to produce a student copy. I have done it this way to give you freedom of choice as to the information you leave in the book. Feel free to chop and change any of the activities that you wish to deliver as individual activities.

Information about casting, forging, extruding and pressing. Questions included to support the information supplied. Please feel free to cut and paste anything that you need.

Abrasive wheels information. Delivered some time ago, but information is still relevant under law and useful from a teaching standpoint. May need to be adjusted to suit your individual style of teaching and the area of engineering that you teach. Feel free to cut, paste and change whatever you wish in order to suit yourself.

Resource that gives a thorough description of basic engineering drawing projections. Lots of information included so use these slides to enhance your own lessons. Ideal for a point of reference for students just starting out with technical drawing. Please feel free to chop and change anything in this resource.

Information slides that explain how modes of fracture can propagate through a material. Used for information only, I normally take the information from slides as and when I need it. I wouldn't use this to present to a class without putting your own spin on it. Please feel free to cut, paste and chop any part of the resources as you see fit.

Short case studies that can be used with all students to form opinions about regulations and procedures in the world of work. I copy each of the studies out, usually at the beginning of a course to start discussions about health and safety at work, before the students have had an opportunity to learn about the subject in depth. Please feel free to chop and change anything you like to suit your own style.

Resource that teaches about bearings and how we use them in industry to make components turn with minimal friction. Please feel free to chop and change any of the information provided to suit your own style.

An old turning assessment activity designed to be used with the old NVQ courses. I still use this when introducing students to the lathe as it helps them to think about the functions and risks. Please cut and paste any of the information and drawings in the handout and use them as you feel best reflects your course.

Fire Safety in Engineering. Resource includes a PPT and a worksheet that have been used to teach the City & Guilds Level 3 in Engineering, Unit 301. There are many videos and other resources to support this session on the internet, but as these are subject to copyright I can only use them in the college. Please feel free to cut, copy and paste any part of these resources how ever you see fit.

PPT presentation about manual handling methods focused towards engineering activities. There are no additional files as the ones I used are freely available on the HSE website, though there are several single/group work activities that can inspire students to put thought into what they are doing. Used to teach students in preparation for the City & Guilds level 3 in engineering externally assessed exam, with excellent results in previous years. Though it has been made with engineering students in mind, the nature of the subject make it ideal for pretty much any subject. As with all other health and Safety subjects, don't forget to check out the HSE website - that place really has helped me to teach health and safety over the years. Please feel free to copy, paste and chop down any part of the resource you want.

Lots of information about metal casting processes. I use this by cutting out the information that I need for a specific lesson and producing my handouts and activities around this. Feel free to chop, change or cut anything you like from the powerpoint, to suit your teaching needs.
