A new way to monitor vital signs (that can see through walls) by Dina Katabi | TED2018 This new device is worth learning about .

These two guides should help most students get to grips with Fusion 360. There are 2 versions available, I would suggest starting all students on the basic version, then distribute the Advanced sheets as required. I have trialed these guide sheets with Y7 - 10 students and found if they follow the steps closely they can excel with this powerful software package. The guides encourage students to build using ‘Components’ as a number of my pupils have become stuck having designed their model as a collection of ‘Bodies’. Although it makes teaching the software slightly more challenging to begin with, I have found this approach produces more stable models in the long run. These resources are freely available, make use of them and share, but please keep the logo on the bottom and do not sell them on. Thanks Dan

Six worksheets used as an extended learning activity or homework. They cover the following topics: Soldering skills Electronics tools and equipment Electronic Components 1 Electronic Materials Electronic Components 2 Electronic Materials Resistant Materials (plastics)

This is the booklet I use with my year 9 classes. It is completed over a 10 week period where there are 15 lessons. The work is to help build the skills required for NEA 1 and NEA 2 at GCSE. It introduces the basic skills including how to conduct an investigation, how to record results, how to research and how to produce detailed time plans. Pupils are encouraged to work as a team for the investigation work then independently for a food preparation task.

This is an updated version of a previous resource. It is based on 15 lessons with pupils over 10 weeks. The basic knowledge is covered such as washing up, weighing and measuring, The Eatwell Guide and sustainability. The work helps to build the skills required should pupils choose to opt for GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. Along with the booklet is the Scheme of Work and the recipe booklet I use. Hope you find them useful.

A complete lesson with the aim of raising awareness of the sugar content of processed foods. Students will learn how to read nutritional information on packaged products and determine their sugar content. To reinforce the high levels of sugar present, students will compare the sugar content of foods with their equivalent in sugar cubes, smarties and biscuits based on a practical investigation.

This template has original been used for the legacy course of resistant materials and still contains the materials elements. These can be overwritten/changed to conform with the new DT specification elements and core skill required for studying the new specification. A time saver.

This booklet has recipes, literacy and scientific experiments for students to work through based on the GCSE FPN course . It is aimed at higher ability students but can be scaffolded / differentiated easily. The scientific experiment worksheet also attached can be used / adapted for various scientific experiments, this one is written to support the experiment in the student booklet.

This is a module of work, approx 5-6 weeks including practicals and experiments for the poultry, meat fish and eggs commodity for GCSE Foof Prep and Nutrition, i teach Eduqas but it could be used for other exam boards too. Aimed at higher ability but can be adapted / differentiated quite easily.

A booklet I used with a group of Year 9 's where you have a Technological word that the students then try to make up as many different words from the letters within it in a set time period. They then try to beat this target on a weekly basis. there is also a handy log for any homework set.

This is s PPT I used in a recent lesson observation for a HOD job in which I was successful. The theme is on upcycling it is lengthy and can be chopped and changed to meet the criteria and timing of the lesson. It includes worksheets the kids can use and differentiated outcomes to check progress, amongst other useful sheets. The lesson itself got me a round of applause from the students and I got the job.

This resource is a Design Technology based series of activities for upper primary children. Focusing on the theme of sustainability and upcycling there includes worksheets for students to complete. A simple project to reinforce the principles behind this unit can be added into the work (dependent on the teachers knowledge) Some examples of which are below and I have run this very successfully with mine. A pop bottle bird feeder A recycled glove puppet A jar fed sweet dispenser examples of which can generally be found on Google.

I have designed this for a Year 7 group who will have three lessons of food as part of our schools Enrichment Week. The booklet contains a number of activities, ranging from food crosswords to build a burger challenges, but it also has a big focus on sustainability, where food is coming from, and looking at traditions like the British picnic. Students will also take part in practical work, I will be using two BBQ’s, and students are invited to bring in small amounts of foods like burgers, sausages and kebabs and learn how cook outside. Included is also an information letter for students/parents informing them of what will be going on.

This resource is a Design Technology based series of activities for upper primary children. Focusing on mechanisms and movement there includes worksheets for students to complete. A simple project to reinforce the principles behind this unit can be added into the work (dependent on the teachers knowledge) Some examples of which are below and I have run this very successfully with mine. A cam model A pull along toy A movable puppet The linkage (working) model can be constructed using card and split pins.

This resource consists of: Two colour worksheets showing images of components and a blank space to the right: students to cut out symbols of components and place in the corresponding location. There are two sheets covering 40 electronic components including input/output devices, semiconductors and passive components. Answer sheets are included. In addition an A3 poster is provided showing component images and the symbols that represent them. This can be printed out or projected onto board.

A set of 12 cut-out cards. Students to match the name of the nutrient to the benefit it has on the body.

Following on from the success of my keyboard shortcuts headers some teachers got in touch requesting full page poster versions. These can be used in a wall display to remind your pupils of common keyboard shortcuts for PCs. These colour posters feature 24 common keyboard shortcuts. Contents 1 x “Keyboard Shortcuts” poster 24 x full page colour posters featuring shortcuts for: cut, paste, copy, select all, undo action, redo action, save, print, bold, underline, italic, go to start of document, go to end of document, find, new window, screenshot, help, open file, refresh window, switch between programs, align text left, align text right, justify text and centre text.

A spreadsheet to help staff and pupils to keep a track on pupil progress in the NEW Technology GCSE from AQA. Coursework, Exam results and exam questions will all accumulate to give a predicted grade for the pupil. The grade boundaries are based on previous ones released by AQA I have spoken to them and unsurprisingly they do not as yet have any idea what these will be, but suggested that the one I have used will ‘do for now’. If you go to the LOOKUPS page you can edit these yourself if you feel they are too high or too low. I have found that pupils appreciate being able to graphically see the progress they are making, and this enables them to take more ownership of the project and become more independent.
