Ideas for a motoring-related teaching session...
Discussion
Hello all 
As part of my medical course I have to develop a portfolio about teaching. The idea is that all doctors have to teach, and therefore the GMC want us to become better teachers.
The main part of the project is to create a learning resource and also teach a five-minute session to a group of peers and doctors. These can be on anything at all, ideally NOT medical, and in the past have included 'how to play the air guitar' (not sure how they filled that out to five minutes!) and 'how to cook a killer Lamb Balti'.
Anyway, I would like to do something car-related, as I don't often get the chance to combine cars and medicine. For the resource I'm thinking of a short video on basic car maintenance - for example checking oil, water and changing a tyre. I've had noises that this would be a good idea, particularly from the girls who on the whole are clueless about those kinds of things, but would like to feel safe in the knowledge they could change a tyre if stranded.
Other ideas I've had are; how to wash a car (oh, the possibilities for a video...), how to drive safely in ice and snow (a big problem down here in Cornwall), how to sound like a car expert in the pub...yes, I could do with some more decent ideas!
I'd really appreciate some more ideas for a teaching session or for the video...anything car related really that could fit into a five minute teach or a five minute video. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Winter driving or general car maintenance. 
Tyre pressure should be included - the number of wombles I see driving round on semi-flat tyres never ceases to amaze!
Something applicable to your audience will keep them interested, so good call on veto-ing "how an engine works" - everyone on PH finds it interesting.... other people; less so!
