Distance-time and Velocity-time Graphs

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, this activity takes students through a step-by-step approach to understanding the basic principles of distance-time and velocity-time graphs. Working through the activity will help students to:
* Understand the terms distance, time, velocity and...

Estimating Length Using Standard Form

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, these materials are designed to raise awareness of the importance of estimating in engineering and to practise the skill. The activity includes discussion and matching sets of measurement cards to cards describing an object. The resource comprises: * Teacher...

Explaining Electric Current

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, this resource is a kinaesthetic activity in which students experience being part of a 'circuit'. A rope loop is passed around the group to represent the current flowing in a circuit. One student, the power supply, adds movement to the rope. The students see...

Fire Safety

These materials, from the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, contain an activity in which students are asked to relate theory to practice as they inspect fire extinguishers and fire blankets in real situations. The students locate, identify and plot fire protection equipment on plans of their work areas in...
