Pupils’ love being creative with this hands-on project. Students are tasked with creating a mini prototype piece of flat-pack furniture for a furniture manufacturer. I have used Cardboard and envelopes (to personify flat-pack packaging) with a craft knife but this project could be adapted for other materials such as HIPS or wood. Also Included are differentiated resources and student/teacher examples. In this series of lesson, students are introduced to the benefits of flat pack furniture in logistics and manufacturing through class discussions and group tasks. They then create their own piece of ‘to-scale’ cardboard furniture that can be disassembled and flat packed. Students work in teams of four with a skills mapping sheet and are each assigned the job role of ‘Designer’, ‘Manufacturer’, ‘Quality Control’ and ‘Team Leader’. There is are also guides included to help with the design and assembly of their product. Introduction to SOW ♦ Class discussion/group tasks on flat pack furniture ♦ Modelling ♦ Optional extension Activities should be spread over 2/3 lessons If you enjoyed this lesson, please see the other lessons in this or other Product Design series/SOW (where the full iterative design process is covered). In this unit, pupils will gain an understanding into what is product design and the creative process of a designer, from initial ideas, final isometric sketching, writing a specification and clay model making (prototyping).

A full scheme of work for you to try, for free. I hope your students enjoy it! This outstanding, creative scheme of work covers the full iterative design process where students design and prototype a water bottle that works together with an app. Inquiry: ‘Making better connections between digital and physical technologies can lead to more innovative, resourceful products.’ Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links that align with the design and technology curriculum. The project requires very few resources and any apps used are free and cloud based. The project can be adapted for different physical and/or digital learning spaces. Included is a digital portfolio which follows the full design process in line with the design and technology curriculum. The portfolio can be delivered digitally, printed or used as a guide. Student/teacher examples are also included. Lessons include: ♦ Ergonomics and Anthropometrics theory. ♦ Internet of Things theory. ♦ Understanding and writing a design brief. ♦ Improving Ergonomics (optional) ♦ Writing a design specification for a particular user and client. ♦ User-centered design and user research methods. ♦ Ideation strategies. ♦ Sketching techniques: isometric, orthographic. ♦ Prototyping in foam, card or 3D printing (depending on learning space). ♦ UX design and wireframing an app. ♦ UI design and protyping a clickable prototype of an app. – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.

A visual starter for Product Design where students demonstrate their understanding of key words and/or it can be used to gauge prior understanding in the subject. Students can effectively differentiate and choose their own task or extension. Included is the original .ai file so that the resource can be adapted for different products/materials/key words etc. If you enjoyed this free resource, please kindly leave a review/rating.

A simple introduction to Content Form Process Mood terminology in Art & Design. This could be adapted and is a great way to introduce almost any artist(s) the students may be studying in any given scheme as it can be altered easily whilst maintaining the same structure. Lesson consists of group work; a ‘warm-up’ task and then application as a 30 second presentation to their peers. Also included is a CFPM game that could be used as an extension activity. If you found this useful, please review. FREE

NEA Assessment Objective Bible AO Product Design Technology Invaluable, measurable assessment Objective advice/guidance for students, which can also be used as explicit success criteria for portfolios. Students can reflect on their own work and highlight areas that they need to address. All I ask, is that you please review this free resource in return. Thank you.

One of a series of Graphics Personification lessons, where students are introduced to graphic design and typography to create a piece of ‘positive advertising’. In this third lesson, students are tasked with personifying a letter, so that collectively the class can create a personified typeface. This typeface will then be used in later lessons to form the text for a piece of ‘positive advertising’. Also included is an instructional video to aid with delivery of content. If you enjoyed this lesson, please see the other lessons in my personification graphics scheme. This scheme was designed for KS3 but could also be used with KS4 students.

Pupils’ love being creative with this hands-on project. Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (Literacy, Science) links, whilst requiring very little resources; only paper and desired material (I have used Fimo clay but another material could be used instead, such as cardboard). Also Included are diffirenciated resources and student/teacher examples. In this first lesson, students are introduced to biomimicry, ergonomics and the project brief; ‘Design a series of contemporary interlocking (or complimenting) espresso cups based on biomimicry’. Students design; through group tasks, individual tasks and class-discussions. We then cover some basic sketching techniques before leading to them sketching their initial ideas, which they must then justify, through annotation (clear success criteria). Lesson consists of starter> class discussions> main task> peer assessment> plenary> Independent study (homework). Lesson is a double but could be extended over several lessons. If you enjoyed this lesson, please see the other lessons in this or other Product Design series/SOW (where the full iterative design process is covered). In this unit, pupils will gain an understanding into what is product design and the creative process of a designer, from initial ideas, final isometric sketching, writing a specification and clay model making (prototyping).

In this lesson, students are introduced to the ‘internet of things’ through class discussions and examples. They are then tasked with re-designing a given object both aesthetically and innovatively to form an ‘internet of things’ connected product for the 21st Century market. Work sheet includes success criteria, writing aid and peer assessment as well as annotation prompts. Student examples are also included. Introduction to ‘internet of things’, connected (smart) devices and the commodification of data.

How does a computer understand instructions? This lesson acts as a short introduction to what coding is and explains the principles of input, process, storage, and output through the use of Scratch, in a practical and fun way. ♦ Introduction to coding. ♦ Introduction into process - storage - process - output. ♦ Introduction to Scratch programming language. ♦ Practical activity where students code each other before moving onto computers. Students love this activity which teaches them about logic and writing commands that a computer will understand. ♦ Practical coding activity to understand the basics of how to move a Sprite and apply what they have learnt in the previous practical task. This is the first introductory lesson of a unit/project that introduces students to the exciting world of coding! In the project, students will design and code their own educational game for primary year students. The full scheme will be uploaded in March 2023 when it is fully complete.
