Material science worksheets and slides - material classification, structure, periodicity, metals & polymers, ceramics, composites & smart materials, material properties, forms of supply, material failure modes, alloying and thermal equilibrium diagrams, processing polymers - suitable for L3 BTEC applied science, BTEC engineering, and CTEC engineering. This bundle of resources is available in Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Pages² and Keynote¹ formats. Each presentation is included in PowerPoint and Keynote; each document is included in Word and Pages. The file numbering links slides to worksheets. Please note that there is not a 1:1 ratio of slides to worksheets but the key topics are covered over the entirety of the slides and worksheets. This bundle of resources covers all key topics for material science units: Classification Structure Periodicity Metals and Polymers Ceramics Composites and Smart Materials Material Properties Standard Forms of Supply Material Failure Modes (fracture, fatigue & creep) Alloying and Thermal Equilibrium Diagrams Processing Polymers The presentation slides give an introduction to key topics of materials science relevant to BTEC and CTEC vocational qualifications. The worksheets are designed to be completed prior to the assessed assignments thus giving tutors the ability to offer feedback on the tasks. The work that learners do in the worksheets can be readily adapted into their assessed assignments. The worksheets in this bundle are editable documents that can be uploaded to Google Classroom or Teams, printable PDF versions with space for learners to complete the tasks directly onto the worksheet are also included. The worksheets include links to relevant research sites to guide learners into their research which will be relevant for their assignments. There is space within each task to compile a bibliography of sources as the learners work thus simplifying the process of compiling a full bibliography for the assessed tasks. This bundle will drastically ease the life of all tutors teaching material science on BTEC Engineering (units 25 & 26), CTEC Engineering (unit 11), and BTEC Applied Science (unit 22) courses. It will also give learners the ability to develop their portfolio over the entirety of the course thus simplifying the assessment process. ¹ Keynote is Apple’s presentation software. Keynote is an app available on macOS, iOS and iPadOS for free with most new or new-ish Apple devices. ² Pages is Apple’s word processing and desktop publishing software. Pages is an app available on macOS, iOS and iPadOS for free with most new or new-ish Apple devices. There is a free sample of this bundle of resources with files available in PDF format.

A Keynote¹ and PowerPoint presentation to aid teaching students how to use Vernier Calipers and Micrometers with accompanying printable worksheet. Learning how to use vernier calipers and micrometers is an important part of physics A-Level, and engineering courses. The presentation includes a labelled diagram of a vernier caliper, followed by high quality diagrams of vernier calipers showing different measurements. The diagrams match those on the worksheet so that students can work through each measurement individually on the worksheet in the first instance. The process is repeated with a labelled diagram of a micrometer and diagrams of a micrometer showing different measurements. The worksheet has all diagrams of vernier calipers and micrometers on a single side of A4 paper. ¹ Keynote is presentation software that works on macOS, iOS and iPadOS devices. The worksheet is a PDF. A PowerPoint version is included for users requiring it. There is a free version of this activity available as a presentation only (no worksheet) and fewer measurements (two of each). The measurements shown in the free version are different to this activity so if you want to increase the number of measurements you work through with your students you can copy them across.

This spreadsheet looks up steam properties for a specified temperature or pressure. It is based on data from the NIST steam tables. The spreadsheet automatically handles interpolation on the temperature and pressure sorted tables. It also handles double interpolation on the superheated steam tables. In order to use the lookup tables the database first needs to be populated with freely available NIST data - I do not sell that data or claim any copyright on it. The data is included for free in a spreadsheet with the correct layout ¹. Download the data and populate the database tables in this spreadsheet before use. ¹ Filename: Steam table lookup - file 2 - database (free) This is a Numbers (Apple spreadsheet) spreadsheet. It is possible to convert Numbers spreadsheets to Excel files but I cannot guarantee an easy to use output since the tables may be converted to separate worksheets in the Excel file. You can use Numbers spreadsheets on iPhones, iPads, Mac computers and in a web browser.
