A LEVEL PRODUCT DESIGN NEA SECTION D 2021 This is the perfect resource for remote learning to get students enthused, confident and carrying on, with a high quality power point, with highly detailed guidance, examples and specialist technical knowledge, with relevant visuals and animations, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section D! This is an extremely comprehensive resource that covers this entire unit. Learning outcomes: In this A level coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: How the mark scheme translates into 3 chunked research tasks: How to explain how their intended prototype would be fully address the design brief, satisfying all major points of the specification also meeting the needs/requirements of their client The specialist technical subject knowledge of section with strong emphasis on researching the correct tools, materials and equipment, as well as health and safety, quality control and relevance to their intended prototype manufacture Students will learn how to represent this intended manufacture process as a detailed manufacturing diary, considering health and safety as well as quality control. I have gone into an incredible level of detail on the manufacture processes, including: Wasting processes, Sawing & jointing, Drilling, Turning , Polymer forming processes: Vacuum forming, Line bending , CAD CAM processes: Laser cutting, 3d printing, Metal processes: Casting, MIG welding, Soldering, Standard components and fixings, Knock down fittings, Fixings, Tensol glue, Epoxy resin, PVA glue, Finishes, Adding veneer, Painting with acrylic/stain/watercolour, and finally Varnishing. I also mention injection moulding and industrial processes. This aspect of the power point alone makes this an invaluable resource for exam revision as it covers all the core specialist Technical knowledge aspects in the A level course. Potential learning outcomes: Next 4 - 5 slides/pages of NEA / Length – 3 - 5 lessons (including student activity) This is one of my TES units dealing with the 2021 A level NEA. Please look to the resources here for other sections (A and A1): https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=25805054&q=A level NEA product design&shop=surfacedetail1 Also I have extensive NEA resources for the GCSE NEA, here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=25805054&q=GCSE NEA&shop=surfacedetail1 I hope these help you and your students succeed!

2021 AQA Product design NEA Brief & Specification & Project management for Section A Worried about what to teach the Year 13 DT GCSE students in September 2020? This is the perfect resource to get them carrying on and enthused with a high quality power point, with relevant visuals and animations, as well as questions, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section A and really having a much better idea of how to carry on! I thoroughly researched this, coming up with a massive bank of relevant subject specific vocabulary/questions/processes/techniques for helping students to get top marks in this section. Learning outcomes: In this A-level coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: How to plan, structure and complete a design brief that is relevant to their context, user and portfolio, guided by the mark scheme How to structure their Specification and the importance of basing this on prior research, to get the highest possible mark Highly detailed and searching questions to get students started on deep lines of inquiry in their specification – these questions are also designed to get them reflecting and improving on research that they have already undertaken. This could include: additional case studies, planning, life cycle and safety analysis. The importance of QA and QC and understanding how these are important in the NEA and the wider industry. A detailed discussion of 3 relevant Quality control processes that students really need to think about. Which Project management strategy out of four is best to use to go forward? Potential learning outcomes: Next 3 to 4 slides/pages of NEA / Length – 1-2 lessons (including student activity) Improvement and addition of information to the research section This is the second part of two units (so far) dealing with section A that can be recorded on power point or paper, Please look to the first resource below… https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-product-design-nea-section-a-12414616 and third resource here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-nea-product-design-primary-research-12422264 I hope these help you and your students succeed!

I have found that the Year 13 DT GCSE students need more direction in the research section and this needs to feed into their specification. Taking a more project management style approach so that everything is planned will hopefully guide students to be more independent in their own enquiry and result in far more meaningful outcomes for this section. I thoroughly researched this, coming up with a massive bank of relevant subject specific vocabulary/questions/processes/techniques for helping students to get top marks in this section. Learning outcomes: In this A-level coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: How to plan, structure and complete (mainly primary) research in a timely manner How to structure research so that it links excellently to their Specification, to get the highest possible mark An outlined 3-step process to guide students to success in outlining, developing and planning their research independently. Far more detailed lines of enquiry using ACCESS FM+ that students can use. A discussion of two Project management strategies to use in planning research activities A detailed discussion of 3 relevant Quality control processes that students really need to think about. Potential learning outcomes: Improvement and addition of information to the research section This is the third part of two lessons (so far) dealing with section A that can be recorded on power point or paper, Pease look to the first resource here: 2021 AQA Product design NEA Section A https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-product-design-nea-section-a-12414616 2021 AQA Product design NEA Brief & Specification & Project management for Section A (this links really closely to this resource as it deals with similar themes.) https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-product-design-nea-brief-and-spec-12421572 I hope these help you and your students succeed!

GCSE/A level CAD Challenge Design your dream headphones! This extremely comprehensive resource that covers at least 2-3 lessons is suitable for both GCSE and A level classes (whom I have tried and tested this with and they have fed back how much they enjoyed it!). The 1st idea to get them working independently to learn new design skills and specialist technical knowledge. The 2nd idea is to get them away from ‘design fixation’ which I have found a lot with the NEA’s. This is the perfect resource for remote learning to get students enthused, confident and carrying on independently, with a high quality power point, with highly detailed guidance, examples and specialist technical knowledge, with relevant visuals and animations, YouTube tutorials and directed tasks. This is also suitable as cover work. Learning outcomes: Students will gain an understanding of: Secondary research techniques (mood board) How to gain knowledge by watching a YouTube video (the link is only available through this purchase) and then go to creatively develop design ideas of headphones, using the CAD program, sketch up free Detailed Specialist Technical subject knowledge with page numbers already cross-referenced and a detailed explanation of the process already included with strong emphasis on researching the correct machinery, materials and equipment, as well as what scale of production. Extension tasks: Create a flowchart of headphone manufacture Potential learning outcomes: 3-4 power point slides/ Length: 2 – 3 lessons (including student activity) Please look at my other resources to find similarly highly detailed, high quality resources that are up to date for 2021 for both GCSE and A level design and technology and product design NEA’s and courses I hope these help you and your students enjoy and learn as it did mine!
