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.

I have created an A4 activity sheet for cover lessons in technology, there are 5 different problem solving task meaning that this can be used multiple times with the same group.
It is also quite versatile and can be used across different year groups.
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.
Introduction to smart materials when you just don’t have enough time or resources to give everyone a smart material to experiment with.
Good revision lesson too.

Comes in handy when you have finished a unit and you want to test the pupils knowledge.
Design and Technology Lower KS2
This unit of work was written for a year 3 class but can be used for year 4 too.
It follows from structures unit that pupils should have learnt in KS1 e.g creating photo frames or houses for three little pigs etc.
The unit includes development of knowledge and skills from the programmes of study for DT in Key Stage 2.
A complete unit of work with lesson planning, Powerpoints and resources. Visuals and photos included for clear instructions
Design inspirations for shell structures e.g natural and manufactured as well as suitable designers and engineers.
Opportunities to plan and make a shell structure e.g using 3d nets of varying design as well as CAD.
Pupils will construct a sandwich box or a trinket box and evaluate on an ongoing basis to see if the design is fit for purpose.
Pupils will develop understanding of technical skills and explore cutting, joining and strengthening techniques.
Thank you for choosing this and I can assure you - it will save you many hours of planning.

There is also images of everyday objects for students to think of other uses forcing them to be creative and inventive.
This booklet was created for year 6 DT project looking at Theme Parks. The children were given the big picture of designing their own theme park which would celebrate the Olympics in 2012. This project then moved into Flowol where the children were able to control their rides using a computer program that they had created.
