A TEACCH activity where students have to match a photo of the type of tool to a simple description about what it is used for. This worksheet includes: Laser Cutter, Pillar Drill, Vinyl Cutter and Thermo Forming Centre.

A worksheet that asks students to colour in the tools they will use in a project from a selection of given tools. Designed for use with our Special Needs students (autism).

Here is a quiz I made for the Cubs in the summer term. It has a logo round, a Scouting knowledge round, a song round (using a clean version of the 4 chords song - link to youtube as was too big to upload embedded) and then the answers. I hope it might come in useful to someone.

A series of worksheets to take students through the initial stages of making a Frame for a Mirror. The sheets include: Research, ACCESS FM Analysis of an Existing Product, Specification, Initial Designs (includes an isometric grid) and another ACCESS FM analysis sheet to help pupils develop their ideas. These worksheets were used by a class at the Special School where I work. (Autistic Students).

A poster to show students what is expected of them if they are performing at the Democracy level of the Raise Responsibility system. This is a system that encourages students to take ownership of their own behaviour.

A short repeating Powerpoint Display I made for a school assembly on a none uniform day where we were raising money for the Typhoon Haiyan appeal. It has some pictures showing the disaster (suitable for children aged 3 to 19) and a few pages to help them understand where the Philippines is and just how big the storm was.

A sheet to help students understand where they should be trying to go next in terms of their learning to help them make progress with regards to p-levels or National Curriculum levels. I've left in some of the targets we set students this term (autumn 2013) but have removed their names from the sheet. You should easily be able to modify them for your own use.

A record sheet to show the amount of support students need for different tasks. You score the student on the amount of: Verbal Support; Visual Support and Physical Support - with 1 being no support and 5 being lots of support. There is also a column to record how much Independent Work the student did and space to make comments - such as new skills seen, improvements in skills, etc...

A score sheet for an Egg Drop Team Building Activity. Each of the materials available for use has a purchase price and the teams score based on how much of their budget they have remaining as we as on design and whether the egg survives.

A sheet that requires students to correctly sequence four of the stages involved in making a product. (Design, Marking Out, Cutting (etc...) and Assembly) They also have to fill in additional details about each of these stages. In this case the product shown in production is a bird house though the stages are the same for any hands on DT that doesn't require specialist equipment.

An Activote / ActivExpression quiz that asks the audience to work together as teams to identify a number of places from around the North East. Also contains the lyrics to Morning has Broken (complete with matching pictures). You will need ActivOffice to use handsets to vote on the answers (anyone however could use it with an old fashioned show of hands).

A poster I made for the Cubs to try and encourage them to think about how they are acting - the idea being that this would help them to control their own behaviour. The poster is based on Marvin Marshall's Raise Responsibility System.

A sheet that shows some Swahili words and the translation in English. The words could also be cut out and used as a matching activity. Covers 10 words / phrases.

This was made as a resource for a District Cub camp but some of you may find it useful. Each of the cards contain a little information about planets and other bodies in space. Whilst the 'Space Fact Finding' sheet has space to record some of the things that they learn whilst searching for the cards. As it was designed to be used on a National Scout campsite at night I also wanted them to look out for orienteering markers as the cards were quite space out. They followed glow sticks to find the cards.

Three sheets to take pupils through Specificiation, Research and Initial Ideas (this page includes room for 2 designs and has an isometric grid).

A drawing I made of the Bug Houses we produce that students could practice their shading skills on. (This is also included in one of the worksheet packs I have produced.)

A recipe card for Ugali. This is the Staple Food through much of East Africa including Kenya. I've made it for my Cubs on a few occasions. It is quite bland and should really be eaten with some fried greens, typically something like kale or cabbage.

Here are a lot of scans of the drawings on our tool poster set that we display in our Design and Technology room. I was scanning them all in to make in to resources but decided there might be some people who'd find the images themselves useful. All of these images were hand drawn a long while ago. I&'m happy for people to use them as they wish but if you make resources with them please be as so kind as to upload them here. Thank you.

A PowerPoint display I made of the Lyrics for Morning has Broken with related pictures. This and the Kumbaya PowerPoint were both made for use in my Class Teacher's Assembly using his login.

I'm uploading this as an example of how we have encouraged young people to participate in a range of activities. It may be possible for you to edit it to make it suitable for your setting. The young people each got a passport and then had a number of activities that they could choose to visit - each activity had a stamp that they could then have added to their passport after the completed the activity. It was a good way of giving the young people a choice but still having an incentive in place to encourage them to complete all the activities.
