STEM Resources

Welcome to the Gavin.Wales STEM Resources portal—a curated collection of open-access educational tools, practical workbooks, datasheets, and hands-on modules developed to bridge rigorous academic inquiry with real-world application. Rooted directly in my ongoing research into the circular economy of critical materials, lithium-ion battery recycling, and sustainable low-energy systems, these resources are designed to engage students, educators, and researchers alike.

Whether you are exploring foundational engineering principles through the books I have authored, investigating environmental design via specialized teaching materials created for academic programmes, or exploring the wider context of my published researchthese tools reflect a long-standing commitment to open-access science communication and technical education.
Lithium Ion Batteries: Recycling

Lithium Ion Batteries – Recycling
(Science Box Experiment 7)

Friends of Cotteridge Park • CoCoMAD Science Box Activity Archive

Welcome to the archival portal for Science Box Experiment 7: Lithium Ion Batteries – Recycling, originally developed by the Friends of Cotteridge Park as part of the CoCoMAD festival supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

This hands-on experiment uses household items (such as aluminium foil, iron filings, and sugar) to demonstrate the physical separation and recycling stages of lithium-ion battery components.

Hosted locally on Gavin.Wales to ensure permanent access and protect against external link rot.

Hydrogen & Fuel Cells Workbook
STEM RESOURCE

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Workbook

Workbook created for the Royal Institution Engineering Masterclass Series.

Hosted & Published via Scribd

Originally developed to support the prestigious Royal Institution Engineering Masterclass Series, this comprehensive workbook provides foundational theory, practical calculations, and technical insights into hydrogen energy systems, fuel cell electrochemistry, and green energy engineering applications for young scholars.

You can read the complete publication directly within the embedded viewer on this page, or access the external archive version via Scribd for offline reading and annotation.

Ri Masterclasses are extra curricular workshops in mathematics or computer science. They nurture students’ curiosity and inspire them to continue STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) engagement into the future.

Through Masterclasses, students connect with scientists and STEM enthusiasts, gaining insight into the depth and breadth of these fields. Students are helped to realise that STEM subjects are for everyone, inspiring future science careers.
