I am a teacher of design technology and now feel it's time to give back a little to help all teachers out there.
Most resources are based around resistant materials but having taught all areas within technology some resources can be easily transferred to all areas and even other subject.

A revision lesson and task sheet for GCSE AQA Resistant Materials for scales of production and describes what sustainability is in reference to the 6 R's
A series of revision lessons for GCSE AQA Resistant Materials. The lessons work through everything that students need to revise in order to pass the exam. There are also task sheets that students use in order to take revision notes for most of the lessons, which becomes their personal revision notes to revise from at home. Finally there are PowerPoints that go through the 2014 exam paper giving model answers to help students gain maximum marks when they come to sit the exam paper.
A revision lesson for the 2014 GCSE AQA Resistant Materials past paper that shows students how to answer each question in order for them to gain top marks.
A step by step worksheet on how to firstly set up a page within 2D Design then how to trace an image using the path tool.
This is a resource I have used to enable pupils to explore the basics of 2D Design using just a few tools at their own pace. This enables you free time during the lesson to focus on those pupils who are struggling with the programme.
An orthographic drawing of a horsebox lock drawn in 2D Design. This was a drawing that I produced originally for an engineering group I had for unit 6 P1. This was produced as an example of what pupils needed to produce for their coursework.
A step by step guide to help pupils with isometric drawing. This resource I used to help pupils draw their moneybox in 3D using isometric. Easy to follow as each step has been broken down line by line.
A year 8 project that includes a full scheme of learning, booklet and PowerPoints for the entire project. The project is an introduction to the whole design process where pupils have the choice of making either a hexagon box from MDF or a rectangle box from pine. Pupils design for a client originally basing their designs around their likes and customise the box accordingly by making and decorating items for it.
A project that uses the new national curriculum levels.
PowerPoints I use within lessons for a year 8 woodwork project where pupils are able to choose between making a hexagon box from MDF or a rectangle box from pine. This is the PowerPoints only for the unit of work.
Year 7 plastics maze project lesson PowerPoints only. These PowerPoints guide you through the design process to make a maze on the laser cutter. This does not show you how to use the laser cutter or 2D Design but has lesson objectives and tasks for pupils to complete.
A year 7 project that includes a full scheme of learning, booklet and PowerPoints for the entire project. The project is an introduction to the whole design process where pupils design and make a hand held game. The maze is cut on a laser cutter and made from three layers. This can either be three layers of acrylic or two layers of MDF and one layer of acrylic to help keep costs down.

A PowerPoint presentation for the WJEC Constructing the Built Environment Unit 3 specification GCSE. Within the resource there is a large amount of content that follows the specification requirements along with some example practice questions for students.
The resource also includes a practice assignment which we use in lessons with pupils still even though this has now changed to be an exam. We have decided to continue the assignment to help assess students assignment writing abilities for other areas that we deliver for GCSE, and also to help pupils summerise the content delivered through the PowerPoint.
