BTEC and CTEC Material Science Resources | For Engineering and Applied Science FREE

Material science worksheets and slides - material classification, structure, periodicity, metals & polymers - suitable for L3 BTEC applied science, BTEC engineering, and CTEC engineering.

This bundle of resources is available in PDF format. This is a free sample of the upcoming full bundle of resources with presentations available in Keynote¹ and PowerPoint (.pptx) formats and editable worksheets available in Pages² and Word (.docx) formats. The file numbering links slides to worksheets. Please note that there is not a 1:1 ratio of slides to worksheets but the same topics are covered over the entirety of the slides and worksheets.

The full bundle of resources covers all key topics, in addition to those mentioned above the full bundle includes:

• Elastomers
• 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 printable with space for learners to complete the tasks directly onto the worksheet. 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.

The full bundle is a paid download and 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 assignment process.
