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.

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.

29 page Engineering materials booklet covering the main introductory principles of metals, grain structures and properties; including facts, information, images and diagrams. It goes from basic materials properties through to grain structure, crystallisation and mechanical properties. There are no activities in the booklet itself however they could be easily produced from the large amount of content. Booklet is suited for post 16 - Level 3 introductory classes or advanced Level 2 classes, it could even be purposed for GCSE chemistry students. Please feel free to cut, chop and paste anything in the booklet to suit your own 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.

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.

Presentation with lots of ceramics manufacturing information. Designed to be used with mid level materials students (BTEC Level 3, more or less) Lots of information so I would cut out the slides that you want and make your lessons around that. Feel free to chop and change anything you like.

Lots of information about metal casting processes. I use this by cutting out the information that I need for a specific lesson and producing my handouts and activities around this. Feel free to chop, change or cut anything you like from the powerpoint, to suit your teaching needs.

Activity and Information sheet on the subject of Adhesives. There is a description and activities on all kinds of engineering adhesives to aid in teaching students of BTEC and City & Guilds in engineering (or pretty much any skilled trade where adhesives would play a part) Feel free to chop and change whatever you like to suit your own preferences.

Lots of information about metallic structures (at a microscopic level) I use this by cutting out the information that I need for a class and producing my handouts etc. from there. Feel free to cut, chop and paste anything you want from the resource.

A Powerpoint quiz on the subject of Casting and Forging. Used with engineering, DT and some science (Chemistry) subjects. Can be easily modified to change the questions. Fairly foundation level questions. Please feel free to change and modify anything you wish in order to meet your needs.

Lots of information about how plastics are formed, what they are used for and what they are made from. Designed for use with 6th form students - but if theres anything that I need from the presentation I generally cut it out and use for a specific lesson. Feel free to cut and paste anything you want from the presentation to meet your needs.
