National Teaching and Learning Change Programme
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS), these resources are designed to provide interactive and engaging theory sessions in engineering. Some of the topics will also be useful for students studying physics at age 14-19. The materials consist of approaches to teaching engineering topics, session plans and learner resources.

Introducing Magnetic Fields and the Electric Motor Effect
Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, this is an activity that provides an opportunity for students to use basic knowledge of magnetic fields to explore how magnets can be used to create motion. The activity involves hands-on learning in the form of constructing an electric motor out of magnets,...
Investigating Turning Forces: Moments
In this activity, from the LSIS, students discover for themselves the importance of the perpendicular distance in moments. It is presented as a whole class discussion but can easily be adapted for small group work.
The activity uses a magnetic disc that takes about 15 minutes to construct. The activity will...
Noise Safety
In this activity, from the LSIS, learners examine noise safety. It is an activity that raises awareness of the danger of high noise levels by involving students in practical recording of sounds from a range of sources and by making a visual representation of their findings.
The activity demonstrates theory...
Rearranging Equations
From the LSIS, these materials cover two sessions designed to take students through the basic principles of manipulating and solving equations. The learners work through building an equation, checking the equation and solving the equation. They are then asked to create their own equation and swap it with a partner...
