Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study looks at the theme of embedding functional skills.

The case study describes a foundation construction programme at Bolton College, which sought to address the issue of poor numeracy in learners. To ensure appropriate provision for...

Published by LSIS, this research project was carried out by Bolton Community College. The aim of the research was to devise an effective numeracy foundation learning programme that would address the immediate academic numeracy needs of foundation level students who had previously shown low levels of achievement in...

This booklet contains a range of suggested teaching activities and contexts for teaching about kinematics and dynamics at A level. Curriculum links include force, motion, kinematics, dynamics, speed, velocity, acceleration, displacement, suvat, free fall, projectile, trajectory, F=ma, free body diagram, drag,...

From Nelson Thornes, this resource helps students studying physics at post-16, A2 level. In this activity students practise using the kinetic theory of gas equations and the gas laws. Students are challenged to show what is happening as gas molecules collide with the walls of a tennis ball and extend the kinetic...

This video explains that moving objects have kinetic energy (E_k) and shows how E_k is proportional to both the mass and velocity of an object.

By combining the formulae F=ma and W=Fs to obtain W=mas and using v²=u² + 2as (assuming u²=0), E_k=...

This booklet contains a range of suggested activities and contexts for teaching kinetics A level. Curriculum links include catalysis, activation energy, activation enthalpy, enthalpy profile, enzymes, rates, Boltzmann, Arrhenius, rate equations, half-life and reaction mechanisms.

Although produced to support...

Carom Maths provides this resource for teachers and students of A Level mathematics.

In this presentation students explore non-periodic tiling patterns using templates of kites and darts, as well as discovering the many remarkable facts to be found in these tilings.

The resource is designed to explore...

Produced by the Learning Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), this case study illustrates how Sheffield City College built upon their existing capability in Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT), through the development of a model to assess competence in KTT. It used this assessment as a developmental vehicle to...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these case studies describe work done by practitioners to disseminate knowledge. The academic study of KTT recognises that sharing learning is much more than simply moving information from ‘A’ to ‘B’; the successful transfer of knowledge and technology...

Published by LSIS, this tool is a self-assessment guide for further education providers. Knowledge Transfer is principally about the flow of information from the knowledge source to business.

This guide helps senior...

This protocol allows students to demonstrate and test Koch’s Postulates using apples infected with the fungus Penicillium expansum. The required experimental work extends over 3 to 4 weeks, but the essential steps can be demonstrated in a single practical session if students are provided with cultures and infected...
