These resources are offered in addition to the FREE worksheets and access to the video at https://youtu.be/fMFC1SaHeHk. PPT LOs: Recall some electrical components, consider how electronics function as a systems, learn about some Input, Process and Output devices and how they’re used in the real world. Please also see my latest electronic and mechanical project which I designed as a mini project for my year 10 group but could also but suitable as a KS3 rotation: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12496313

This is an electronic systems GCSE lesson covering the following, including tasks: Circuit components Graphical conventions for communicating ideas Working with systems Principles of a control system - input, processes, output Digital and analogue signals

A curriculum map for the subject of DT within the Electronics, System and Control strand shows how the primary curriculum is taught over the course of an academic year. This curriculum map shows where each unit taught links to previous learning and shows a clear progression throughout the year. From foundation stage right through to year 6. My curriculum maps have been used by our local school improvement partnership to advise other schools in the district.

A fun, no preparation required resource for Design and Technology. These A5 activities make great starters and plenaries as well as a means of checking progress made during a lesson. Once completed they can be stuck into the student's book for future reference. Lots more are available, just click onto my shop.

A 5 slide introduction to electronics and electronic components. Slide show includes linked video, tasks and use of AFL. Slide show links well to the circuit components worksheet found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/circuit-components-worksheets-12003686

This is a 12 slide PowerPoint presentation prepared by an experienced, award winning teacher and former senior examiner to assist in the delivery of the systems approach knowledge as part of the Engineering and/or D&T GCSE 9-1 specifications. It could also be used as a training resource to support colleagues unfamiliar with or new to this area of the specifications. Included is an overview of what makes a system, examples of input, process, driver and output devices, the use of block diagrams and feedback. Four exam style questions are presented so that students can test their knowledge and understanding.
