Hello, I trained as an industrial designer, then found myself training as a D&T teacher (great choice!). I've been at it for nearly 20 years now. I was a subject leader for 10 years, leading one of only 10 schools in the country to be recognised by the SSAT as leading edge for D&T. I'm also a past recipient of the DATA annual awards for leadership. I am now in senior leadership, but still teach D&T to KS3,KS4 & KS5 weekly. All resources are well designed, and do what they say on the tin!

KS3: Design Technology - Pop Up Cards (Card Engineering, Development, Modelling, Mechanisms)

(1)
A KS3 project (year 8 or 9). A project written for an environment without powerpoints and interactive boards. It hangs on the initial two lessons researching into pop up mechanisms and then pop out mechanisms. Students practically manufacture a range of them, but also record and analyse the mechanisms in a work booklet. The remaining weeks focus on concept designs, then developments and a final working card. Included are all the resources (templates & handouts) along with lots of exemplars from previous students.

D&T Cover Work: Isometric Drawing - Lego - Batmobile

(0)
A worksheet based on Lego Mini Vehicles (simple Lego models). Children are tasked with drawing up the photographed model in isometric. At the top of the page I have modeled this task in simple steps. To draw, use thick/thin lines, and then render the models should take around an hour per sheet. File enclosed is a printable PDF and accompanying jpeg. I have other sheets available in this series, or a compilation package too.
