A full 2 hour revision lesson (or more depending on ability) based around a focus of timber based materials and processes - GCSE Design and technology content. All answers included as well as extension worksheet that has been placed in the middle and end of the lesson to support faster workers, can also be set for HW. Questions range in marks.

Engineering worksheets for Cambridge Internationals Engineering LO2. These help student fill out relevant information from teacher talk/independent research. It helps to consolidate information really helps with differentiation and supporting lower ability students.

Worksheets to assist in the delivery of Cambridge National Engineering Manufacture. LO1 a lot of the theory around materials. The worksheets have sections for students to complete with teacher talk/independent research. Can be used to help with course work and revision for exam.

i created this help sheet to support my year 10 students with their ‘mini NEA’ but realised that it can work further down the school too. It has lots of different ideas as to what sort of annotations students should be writing about their designs, i have separated them into 2 sections - the non-negotiables and the get higher marks. I have found it has worked really well with getting my lower targeted students into those top brackets. (I have also added hints and tips to support any tricky wording) This has both the original PowerPoint document and a PDF as i like to use specific fonts, which unless you have them downloaded will not work on your computer, so feel free to fiddle with it.

There are 3 Metals and 3 woods. Metals; Copper Steel Aluminium Woods; Hard Wood (oak) Soft Wood (pine) Manufactured Board (MDF) They have a started where students have to look into the uses of the different materials and then get student to explain a process relevant to the material, finally they are to complete a task asking them to explain and justify the materials different uses in specific products. I have found them great for homework, as some the kids have spent a long time drawing images for the different process section. But it could be a great revision task using textbooks as support, or an accompanying Powerpoint that you could go through as a class.

I did these light/ lamp designs in a quick attempt to help my students with their designing, both how they present their work, thinking about angles and alterations. I have also annotated one of the ideas with aspects that would support students with their GCSE NEA. My Students have found it really useful as just a resource to get hits and tips from when they are typing up their coursework, as well as thinking about how they design. The pack has 4 original design sheets with a singular theme but variations of, and 1 annotated design sheet.

This is a 1 A4 page hour lesson task, can be used for a cover lesson or a general theory lesson. It goes trough the meaning of the 6 R’s of sustainability, with an introductory match up task, a look at these objects and analyse task, leading to a re design drawing task. It encourages, group learning and independent designing. Little to no teacher talk is needed (you could always accompany it with printed images of objects as opposed to physical ones).

A 2 hour Revision lesson, comprising of general knowledge Design and Technology questions. There are a variety of questions from multiple choice through to 6 markers. All answers are incorporated into the powerpoint. The additional worksheet can be used as an extension task or incorporated within the lesson - Depending on ability it could range from 2 to 4 hours.

An A3 worksheet, can be done A4 but a great cover lesson with younger year groups introducing them to 3 key design movements, including a product design task inspired by. Can also be used as a fun creative lesson for KS4.

This is a fully resources year 7 introductory project to woodwork, with theory, starters and plenaries. It allows students to be creative and autonomous their designing and making, teaching key BASIC skills, making sure they are re-enforced and embeded. Making sure that the students focus on quality and finish, and not rushing (a big problem I find). There are assessment points and print outs. I have also attached the marksheets - we call them TIME TO IMPROVE sheets - quick way to show reflection and improvement. (i make them pink so its more obvious for on lookers). Any questions about the project please ask.
