Here you have a Design Technology Quiz, tried and tested with KS3 and GCSE students studying DT. The quiz is interactive throughout using Hyperlinks navigating to the correct and incorrect answers which appear clearly on the screen for students to see. The quiz contains 23 questions and covers: environmental impact, selecting the correct materials, textiles fabrics, obsolescence and standard components and their function. This Quiz has been tried and tested and has had fantastic feedback from students and teachers. It is great for a specialist teacher or a non-specialist teacher during a DT cover lesson.

PowerPoint based class revision aid. 25 tiered questions organized into 5 categories based around content from the OCR Engineering Design - Component R038. This resource works really well as a pacey “low stakes test” in pre-exam revision sessions; especially with my HAP boys who like trying to devise a competitive strategy needed to win. TEACHER RULES: Divide your class into teams. Teams take turns to choose their category and difficulty level (challenge!) Other teams can guess wrong answers for half points (numeracy!) Answered question values turn black stopping questions being asked twice. After each answer use the ‘rollover’ home button to return to the main screen. Most points at the end wins! Please leave feedback to help me improve or devise new resources.

A stand alone lesson which is perfect for any KS3 or higher KS2 or lower KS4 Cover Lesson or the start of a new project. Based on the designer Alessi and designing new products for market, I based this one on unusual inspirations, but you can easily change the wording so that it mentions your own made up objects too. All you need to do is print one sheet per student (or 1 between 2) and the only other resources needed are plain paper and pencils/crayons whatever you would like them to draw with! My 2nd ever upload so I am hoping this is helpful to someone!

This is a one of design cover lesson (could be two lessons depending on the length) that includes following the design process and create a 3D model at the end. This should take two lessons if correctly paced. Two worksheets and Design Net template - Powerpoint, PDF and JPEG It is recommended to print the worksheets in A3 to ensure students have enough space to fully explore and demonstrate their design ideas.

This resource can be used to ease marking of NEA for Design and Technology. The specific language is taken directly from the AQA mark scheme, but it has been put in chart form with areas identified, so that different mark bands can be easily seen for each section of the NEA. This is a new resource this year for my department, this type of format has helped a lot in Food for several years. It can also be shared with students so they can see how to progress to higher marks using simplified terms. Simply tick the box that you think the students work fits into for that section and the use that information to make your judgement about each section, information can then be transfered easily to the AQA official paperwork.

This NEA was awarded full marks. It can be used as an aid by students as a kind of template to see what they need to include. It was completed in 2023 so the NEA topic was ‘A souvenir from a place of interest’, however the content covered is applicable for any topic. Slide titles: front cover task analysis mood board primary research and client interview secondary research and product analyses looking at where the product will be stored design specification, design brief, summary initial designs developed designs prototyping, modelling and testing material analysis other preparation final design (exploded isometric sketch) manufacturing specification use of CAD and CAM making in the workshop evaluation

A KS3 project (year 8 or 9). A project written for an environment without powerpoints and interactive boards. It hangs on the initial two lessons researching into pop up mechanisms and then pop out mechanisms. Students practically manufacture a range of them, but also record and analyse the mechanisms in a work booklet. The remaining weeks focus on concept designs, then developments and a final working card. Included are all the resources (templates & handouts) along with lots of exemplars from previous students.

Homework Booklets — AQA GCSE Design and Technology — Whole Specification in Detail — Includes Answers Give students purposeful practice across the entire specification while keeping workload low. Each homework page is student-friendly, builds from recall to application and evaluation, and comes with a complete answer set for self-marking or rapid feedback. Ideal for weekly homework, intervention, cover and revision. Develops recall, application, analysis and evaluation, with explicit command-word practice and clear “how to answer” steps. A4, black-and-white friendly, minimal prep. Save hours of planning: fully mapped to the whole specification, print-and-go, with answers included. Developed by an experienced UK teacher with the support of AI-assisted planning tools to ensure consistency, clarity and full-spec coverage. This is for secondary classes needing structured homework, retrieval, intervention or revision across a full course specification. Set one page per week or build half-term packs. Use self-check and answers for independent marking, or project answers for whole-class feedback. Mix and match tasks for targeted practice. What’s inside Whole-spec coverage: all topics and sub-topics mapped in detail. Consistent structure per task set: • Quick Recall (core facts) • Core Practice (structured questions using varied command words) • Apply It (realistic scenario, parts A–C) • PIXL Mini-Task (Odd One Out / Always–Sometimes–Never / Convince Me) • Literacy Boost (command words with one-line meanings plus an exam-style question with marks and step-by-step “How to answer”) • Reduce It 30–3–2–1 (summarise and select key information) • Self-Check (success criteria) • Stretch Challenge (higher-order task) Answers included: model points, indicative methods and concise mark guidance.

This Design Technology booklet consists of a range of tasks and covers skills that students will learn at KS3. It includes: Wordsearch Ergonomics Comprehension Identifying Ergonomics Tasks Graphic Design - App Design Textiles - Trainer Design Health and safety drawing task Tools and equipment in Product Design. This booklet can be used as cover work for multiple lessons, used as a homework booklet or simply used in lesson to help extend the learning of pupils.

This powerpoint covers the majority of the GCSE AQA Engineering specification. Suitable for all examboards, and this powerpoint is complete with highlights to each part of the spec. Created for the 2022 Exams with Advanced Information, but the content will be examined for all exams. Can be used for DT revision. I achieved a Grade 9 in the Summer 2022 GCSE Exams using this booklet and received 80/80 in my NEA Component, achieving a grade 9 overall.

This versatile project comes with a fully editable 20 slide PowerPoint presentation and 10 page printable booklet. Students are asked to research and design an eco house. This can be done individually or in groups (eco village). The project runs for approximately 10 weeks. There are research tasks, design tasks and CAD design tasks as well as extension tasks, the project can be completed on SketchUp, Tinkercad or both. The project is suitable for any school doing DT or particularly 3D design. It is most suitable for KS3/4 but with the removal of a slide or 2, could be delivered from year 4 and up.

A simple set of design and technology activities that could be used as emergency cover. 15 activities in total suitable for year 7 - year 10 I created these quickly as a teacher called in sick in the morning and needed some activities that students could work through independently without much instruction. They are not perfect and done in a rush but they did they job!

This is a selection of images and objects for students to work out what objects are and to think outside the box. I use these as little starters to get students to think visually as soon as they come in the room. There is also images of everyday objects for students to think of other uses forcing them to be creative and inventive.
