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.
An attractive powerpoint introducing basic technology phrases followed by whole class games and Conti style activities such as Tangled Translation, Ping Pong Translation, Verbal Volley Match up, Translate with first letter of each word, etc. A good motivator for all ability levels. Worked very well for my classes. Thanks Pixabay for the images.
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.
