This Week’s Website Update and Free Resource Downloads

More free resources have been uploaded to our new BoydCreate shop website. The resources support learning on smart and modern materials, technical textiles and composites. They have previously been given away but only as PDFs and the new versions are in an editable PowerPoint format so teachers can personalise them for their own classroom. Each resource follows a similar format with 4 slide handouts including a summary of basic knowledge and 3 activity sheets. This format is similar to the one used for other free resources already on the website. Don’t forget there are also other resources to support learning on the Smart, Modern & Technical Materials section of our Boyd Education website.
Download individual resources by clicking on the images below or visit the free resource section in our shop to see all available downloads.
