Forces theory for the new D&T GCSE, key word & definition sort task, practical application of theory to industrial practices. Apply forces theory through using elastic, create a scrunchie using forces theory and decorative techniques. Lovely mini practical project to deliver theory through.

This is a 5 lesson resource pack to deliver the new GCSE content, focusing on The work of others module but also developing drawing skills and understanding research methods too. Students are to research and analyse, understand how designers use research and briefs to inform design decisions. A main component of this project is developing understanding of how Social, Moral, Ethical and cultural issues effect the products we design. Students are to develop their understanding of design strategies and working collaborative. I have delivered this to my year 10 class of 25 students, mixed ability. Activities include card sorts, articles to reduce into SMCE issues, research and team work.

This resource is made for Design and technology, not a specific area. I have made and use this with KS3 textiles and resistant materials. The PowerPoint is clearly structured with a range of tasks, the activity is a card sort, group exercise and group feedback presentation. AFL questions and key words listed as well as sentence connectives. Suitable to introduce students to the new GCSE in design and technology and technical awards.

This mini project is aimed to mimic the layout of AQA controlled assessment. The skills needed in criteria 1 and 2 are developed to give students a better understanding of what is required at GCSE level. The project is for 9 hours and based around different design movements. Students will research, analyse and design during this project to develop key skills needed for GCSE Product design. Objectives set out using SOLO and structured to ensure progress is made by all students. Lesson overview included.

This is a complete scheme of work for the 'Humbug pencil case' project. This written scheme of work includes; objective, structured outcomes, assessment, homework, risk assessment and resources needed. The scheme lasts for 9 weeks (3 hours a week) and includes a range of tasks from: measuring and drawing to product analysis. Key points: Developing key skills using and setting up the sewing machine, understanding health and safety in the textile room, use of a range of sewing equipment, peer and self assessment, fabric theory and analysis of existing products. End of unit test to assess learning. PowerPoint is set up so that each week is clearly identifiable. This resource has been broken down so that non-specialists can deliver the project, I would recommend you do a 'run through' before delivering. Good links with GCSE specification and developing skills required for GCSE Design and Technology.
