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...

An ‘L’ shape is shown and the task is to find the centre of mass using only a straight edge and pencil. The solution makes use of the fact that the centre of mass of two objects will lie on a...

A Catalyst article about light emitting diodes and how they are more energy efficient than existing light bulbs which waste most of the energy they receive. The article explains how LEDs work and how they can be applied in traffic lights. Creating white light from LEDs is difficult and the article looks at possible...

A Catalyst article about devising better, more energy-efficient lighting. In particular the article focuses on LEDs. Like food, water, clothing and shelter, light is essential to daily life and is needed by most people for most of their waking hours. The article explains how LEDs work and how they are made.

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) is concerned with post-compulsory education and training.These case studies describe the work of providers in the sector and are a valuable source of information on a range of strategies for improving performance. Case studies are from providers throughout England...

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) have produced a range of materials aimed at supporting teaching and learning in engineering. These resources cover a range of areas that demonstrate the benefits of active learning. They cover how to improve teaching and learning by developing the skills of...

The Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) was created to support and improve achievement in the Further Education and Skills sector in England.

This collection contains a range of materials called 'Mathematical Moments' aimed at supporting teaching and learning in mathematics. The resources...
