AQA Paper 2 Revision
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how aid and intermediate technology can help to reduce the development gap. There is a literacy retrieval starter where the students pick three words from the last few lessons to link together in a sentence. We then look at the different types of aid and students need to match the type of aid to the description. They then complete a cloze exercise to explain how aid can help to reduce the development gap. We look at the Goat Aid scheme from Oxfam and the students use a poster template to complete and colour in a Goat Aid poster. We then look at the definition of intermediate technology and the students complete a quiz on whether the examples on the board are intermediate technology or not. We then look at the example of Adis Nifas in Ethiopia and the students annotate a grid of symbols to show the features of the scheme. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question and the pupils use a writing frame and some point and evidence suggestions to help answer the question if needed.
hope this saves you valuable planning time.

A pic ‘n’ mix revision booklet for Design and Technology GCSE. 15 pages with 50 video explanations, 28 exam questions and over 50 revision tasks. To be used independently, during tutor time, supporting class revision for students and parent/carers.
If a student only completes the definitions and watches the videos they should get a 4/5 grade in the exam. I created it for students who are disengaged with revision.
For each topic there is:-
video explanations
definitions of key terms question
exam questions
further revision tasks
The sections link to the AQA specification, however it is fully editable so you can adapt to fit other exam boards. It covers:
Core technical principles
Specialist technical principles - timber (although most are generic links/questions so can be adapted to other materials)
Design and making principles
Feedback welcome.
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.

A comprehensive series of multimedia materials to support the teaching of the GCSE Design and Technology Food Technology course. The materials can be downloaded as a complete Moodle course or as individual elements. The bilingual resources include video clips, animations, text and quizzes within Moodle and can be used on an interactive whiteboard for whole class teaching or by students on individual computers. The images included in this work, to the best of our knowledge, are from sources that their use do not breach any copyright rules. Please visit the NGfL site, linked below.
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.
