Starter activities used to teach low level (1 and 2) engineering students about the different signs in use. I found it best to have a workshop available with all appropriate signs being used, for the students to use as research. Feel free to cut, paste and chop anything to suit your own needs.

A revision resource showing the definitions of many terms in Health and Safety covered by BTEC and City and Guilds courses. I put them onto a PPT for ease of access but I wouldn't deliver the powerpoint to a class without significant changes. I also have these slides on our Moodle system for the students to use as a pure revision resource, and also as a source of information they can easily use when producing written work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aimed at year 12 City and Guilds Engineering Students/BTEC students studying Engineering. Research activity that focuses on properties of materials. I taught with a discussion and then a computer research session (using the hand-out) followed by a Q/A session for assessment.

40 Slide powerpoint resource detailing the theory behind Limits and Fits used in engineering, design and manufacture. Age range of resource - 14 - 19 (GCSE to Sixth Form) Studying BTEC/City and Guilds/AS/A level Ideal for students learning topics like measurement, engineering, technology and other technical subjects. Slides have animations to emphasise the functions of certain fits, which provide a visual appeal to the presentation. Feel free to cut, chop and paste the slides as you see fit in order to meet your own needs.

8 Resources designed for the teaching of BTEC and City & Guilds Engineering qualifications. Each document covers some of the specifications for a range of engineering information, this information can then be cut down into activities or used as part of your wider engineering teaching. Please feel free to cut, chop and paste anything in these resources to suit your teaching needs.

Presentation teaching information about battery technology, the materials involved and the reactions that take place in order to produce a charge. Suitable as an introduction to the subject, or as a cover teacher presentation - it's very easy to produce some questions or a short test on the subject to go with the slides. Feel free to repurpose anything in the slides to suit your own needs.

A 22 slide presentation on the subject of linear measurement. The content focuses on the engineering/technology/design side of measurement but will be appropriate for students of all areas that simply need a lesson in measuring. Ideal for a cover lesson if a teacher is away from work. Covers many types of measuring from using rulers through to micrometers, vernier callipers and laser measurement. Feel free to cut, chop and paste any of the slides and any of the content/design to suit your own purposes.

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.

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.

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.

A revision pack for BTEC level 3 students studying Finishing and forming. I now use this to cut and paste information into lessons as I see fit, Lots of information regarding machining techniques and other forming methods. Feel free to cut, paste and change anything to suit your own styles.

Resource used to familiarise students with correct BS drawing and dimensioning rules for use in engineering. Please feel free to chop and change anything that you might want to in order to suit your own teaching 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.

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.
