This new publication is designed to share experiences of delivering the Engineering Diploma together with some examples of best practice. The content of the magazine has been written by practitioners for practitioners. We hope you will find the articles of interest and perhaps, might be moved to contribute something to our Autumn edition. If you would like a free printed copy of the Engineering Diploma magazine, have any comments, or would like to submit an article for the next edition, please contact Kerry Woods, the Engineering Diploma magazine editor: editor@engineeringdiploma.net

This poster represents a mixed collection of images of different life forms. It can be used for a large number of different classroom activities. e.g. Find the names of the living things in the poster. Connect the pictures to form food webs. Select all the creatures that live in fresh water. Select all the animals that are native to Africa. Find all the predators on the poster.
