Resource for engineering or technical drawing. Includes large (124 slide) PPT file with lots of activities and information, and worksheets that follow some of the presentations activities. When I use this resource I hide the slides that I don’t need and only use the parts that I want to use for a given lesson. Please feel free to chop, change and cut anything in the resource (you will notice that it isn’t in widescreen but if you copy the slides you want into a newer version of PPT it should still look good)

Basic, low level activities designed to give students confidence in reading and producing their own drawings in engineering. Starter activity is for students to identify the correct views. Drawing activities are for the students to convert isometric to orthographic projection, using guide lines - (you may need to adjust the contrast of your printer before printing, I had a small issue but it was fixed with a bit of adjustment) Feel free to chop, change and paste whatever you like to suit your own style.

Resource that helps to develop a basic knowledge of the risk management process. Please feel free to chop and change anything that you need to suit your own teaching style. Activities can easily be made from the content.

An 8 page activity that shows the methods of reading micrometers and vernier callipers for design, technology, and engineering applications. Ideal as a cover activity during teacher absence. Teaches basic theory behind the measuring tools, the methods of reading them and the sheet includes activities for the student to practice reading the scales if there are no measuring tools available in class. Feel free to cut, chop, paste and change the sheet to meet your 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.

Manual handling information and lesson resources. Produced for low level engineering students, includes information and questions relating to manual handling in the workshop environment. Please feel free to cut, past and chop anything you want for your own purposes.

A pack of 5 general engineering starter activities for use in Engineering lessons. These have been made for level 1/2 students and each one will help to build vocabulary as well as developing knowledge of certain terms when the teacher goes through answers. Included with each of the 5 puzzles is an answer sheet. All puzzles have been provided as a PDF. Stay tuned for more puzzles and quizzes as we progress through the academic year.

Slides that test students recall of the main safety signs that are displayed in every aspect of life. The main signs are: Prohibitive Mandatory Warning First aid Safety These questions are ready to go right out of the box but might also be useful in many other subject areas. You can quite easily change the questions and answers if you wanted to use it for other areas of work. Please feel free to Cut, paste or change anything you wish to meet your needs.

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.

Powerpoint and activities to fit an hours session, more or less depending on the level of students. Teacher will need to have knowledge of some of the materials used in the categories of COSHH. Described from an engineering perspective. Feel free to cut, paste and use the resources for any other purpose.

Three starter puzzles. Designed to be thought provoking and interesting. Can be presented in any way in order to deliver to a range of age groups.

Engineering/Technical drawing workbooks for 12-19 year old students (depending on previous knowledge, skills etc.) Comprehensive introduction to technical drawing covering topics such as - Sketching, isometric projection, orthographic projection, dimensioning and British standards. Good to use in the case of covering lessons as most of the activities are self explanatory. Many drawings have been used from textbooks - repurposed with original activities to develop skills in DT and technical drawing. Feel free to cut, paste and use any images, information and activities to suit your teaching.

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.

Aimed at year 12 Level 2 City and Guilds Engineering students studying unit 202. Briefly covers Melting points of metals, Density, Colour, Magnetism, Corrosion resistance, Conductivity and Insulation 18 slide Presentation to be used along with questions sheet - ideal for cover teaching. Calculations can be added for stretch and challenge students, these are easily found in any textbooks or a quick web search. Takes between 1 - 2 hours dependant on depth of teaching.

Worksheet placed onto a powerpoint slide, revises properties of materials, electron configuration and the periodic table. Good to use as a starter activity or as a quick quiz, for use it can be printed as it is or printed as an a3 sheet. Feel free to chop, change, cut or paste anything you might find useful.

A chart that shows how materials are grouped together. I have this laminated so that during the intro to materials students can write on it with whiteboard markers. It's just a simple sheet that I use quite regularly. Feel free to copy, paste, chop and change anything you want.
