A revision clock is a innovative method of getting pupils to split their time up in a lesson or at home when revising and to break larger topics down into manageable chunks. Pupils have a limited time to write down facts about a given topic. In this case the hour is split into twelve common mechanical properties. Pupils would start at brittleness and would have 5 minutes to fill that section before moving on. This resource can be used to revise mechanical properties. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson. There are two file types available and can be easily edited to ensure that it is suitable for your subject/specification.

This is a quick resource for creating a revision guide for mechanical properties in engineering lessons. Simply print on to A3 (double sided) and cut along the lines between each mechanical property. Fold the tabs over so they cover the boxes. Pupils are give an amount of time (I suggest five minutes per box) to write a definition, how the property is measured, an application where it is needed etc. In an hour pupils will have a completed revision guide. Pupils can then cover up the definitions and test themselves, before checking to see if they were correct.

A revision clock is a innovative method of getting pupils to split their time up in a lesson or at home when revising and to break larger topics down into manageable chunks. Pupils have a limited time to write down facts about a given topic. This revision clock has been adapted to allow pupils thinking time to construct an extended writing paragraph. In this case the time limit will probably be less than an hour, say eight minutes. The eight minutes are split into the four sections: Point, Evidence, Analysis, Summary. Pupils would two minutes to write notes or construct each part of their paragraph, creating a draft version. This is a quick and effective way of showing pupils that they can write an extended paragraph with ease. With literacy and extended written the focus across the wider curriculum, this simple activity card will help pupils to produce a well written paragraph in a typically practical based subject where pupils may not expect to be producing written work. A PEAS paragraph (Point, Evidence, Analysis, Summary) is a technique used by English departments to help pupils produce a well written paragraph. A PEAS paragraph a simple technique which could be useful to support pupils who need support i order to develop their extended writing skills. This download includes Adobe Illustrator and PDF files which are ready to print and use or they can be easily edited.

With literacy and extended written the focus across the wider curriculum, this simple activity card will help pupils to produce a well written paragraph in a typically practical based subject where pupils may not expect to be producing written work. A PEE paragraph (Point, Evidence, Explain) is a technique used by English departments to help pupils produce a well written paragraph. A PEE paragraph a simple technique which could be useful to support lower abilities or younger years. Other techniques such as PEEL, PEAS & PETER may help support older pupils. This download includes Adobe Illustrator and PDF files which are ready to print and use or they can be easily edited. Printed & laminated versions are available from my Ebay shop!

A revision clock is a innovative method of getting pupils to split their time up in a lesson or at home when revising and to break larger topics down into manageable chunks. Pupils have a limited time to write down facts about a given topic. In this case the hour is split into nine common shapes. Pupils would start at square and would have 6.5 (6.67) minutes to fill that section before moving on. This resource can be used to revise the area of shapes. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson. There are two file types available and can be easily edited to ensure that it is suitable for your subject/specification.

This is a quick and effective resource for performing a product analysis using ACCESSFM, or a method to learn and revise the key ACCESSFM terms. Simply print on to A3 (double sided) and cut along the lines between each key word. Fold the tabs over so they cover the boxes. Pupils are give an amount of time (I suggest five minutes per box) to write write a sentence or paragraph about the product in each box. There is also room on the back for pupils to include a picture of the product being analysed and to annotate it with key information.

A mind map is a creative way of visually organising information. Originally created by Tony Buzan this is a widely used method that users to explore a single topic or idea. Check out https://imindmap.com/how-to-mind-map/ to see how to mind map correctly. This mind map provides a starting point for pupils to explore ACCESSFM. It could also be used to perform a product analysis on an existing product, by adding information to each key branch. There are five key steps to creating a successful mind map: Start with a central image (you can replace the text on this document) Add branches to your map (these should be curved and start thick and end thin) Add key words (one key word per branch) Colour code branches (Easy to organise and visually appealing) Include images (1 picture is worth a thousand words) Two file types are included that can be easily edited to suit your lesson.

A revision clock is a innovative method of getting pupils to split their time up in a lesson or at home when revising and to break larger topics down into manageable chunks. Pupils have a limited time to write down facts about a given topic. This revision clock has been adapted to allow pupils thinking time to construct an extended writing paragraph. In this case the time limit will probably be less than an hour, say eight minutes. The eight minutes are split into the four sections: Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural. Pupils would two minutes to write notes for each section. This resource can be used to revise SMSC issues or can be used to perform a quick yet effective product analysis. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson. SMSC is useful product analysis tool can be used for a variety of technology based subjects including Design Technology & Engineering. Is is useful at all Key Stages. There are two file types available and can be easily edited to ensure that it is suitable for your subject/specification.

A simple yet effective starter activity which involves pupils matching each shape to the correct formula. Shapes and formulas are suitable for a range of specifications and can be easily adapted to include exact shapes required for any specification.

A revision clock is a innovative method of getting pupils to split their time up in a lesson or at home when revising and to break larger topics down into manageable chunks. Pupils have a limited time to write down facts about a given topic. In this case the hour is split into twelve common key words and phrases associated with a stress-strain curve. Pupils would start at Hooke’s Law and would have 5 minutes to fill that section before moving on. This resource can be used to revise stress strain curves and associated key words and phrases. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson. There are two file types available and can be easily edited to ensure that it is suitable for your subject/specification.

This work booklet allow pupils to evidence design work for unit one of the WJEC Vocational Award in Engineering. This has been adapted from the exemplar material provided on the WJEC website. Unit One requires pupils to design an engineering product (such as a lamp) from a client brief set by the centre. If you have access to computers the template can be easily edited in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat or Powerpoint. If you don’t have computers you can always edit and then print the printable versions of the workbook. Centres should adapt this booklet to suit their own assignments.
