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 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 document is designed to support and guide pupils through their Design and Technology (DT) coursework. While it is tailored to the Edexcel GCSE in Design and Technology, it is also suitable for students following the AQA specification, as both follow a similar structure and approach. The document outlines the marking criteria along with the available marks, helping students understand exactly what is required. It includes a clear checklist and detailed guidance for each section of the coursework. Colour-coded throughout, the workbook features real student examples, prompts, and additional hints and tips to support progress. This resource encourages independent learning, allowing pupils to take ownership of their projects while reducing workload for teachers. Many pupils achieve strong outcomes when using this workbook as a structured guide.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
