Secondary resistant materials resources

A selection of ceramics lessons with all templates and resources. Power-points to take the students through the processes, discuss and assess their work. Lessons include Monet waterlilies, Cress Garden Houses, Klimt Tiles and Dali Floppy clock pots.

This lesson looks at Dali's The Persistence of Memory. Students discuss the meaning behind the painting. They look at ceramics and create a floppy clock pot. The lesson includes group work and discussion points. Assessment and student voice worksheet and clay terms work sheet included

I have uploaded resources outlining suggested student learning tasks. All free, if I could ask you make a small donation to the Samaritans in return but not mandatory.Thanks https://www.samaritans.org/support-us/donate-online/make-single-donation

This resource is four different cover lessons suitable for Years 6,7,8 and 9. They can be used for 30 mins to 60 mins and have extension work as well. The resource has everything required, so no teacher input is necessary. Paper and colouring crayons are the only resources that you will need for this. No branding on these which is perfect if you are in a rush. Just print out and set the work! These are challenging yet fun tasks for the children. Learning objectives achieved, yet no previous knowledge required to achieve these objectives

Wordsearch on the theme of 'Furniture Styles'. Powerpoint so can be used on the board or printed as a worksheet. Includes space for students to explain the keywords and suggested extension activities. Can take 10 minutes or an hour, depending on which activities the students complete. Ideal for the start of a lesson, a quick filler, a homework, part of a cover lesson or as a plenary on the board with a whiteboard pen. The idea behind these is to get students to become more literate and think independently about the words that could be used to describe the topic being taught. Often the students will pick up on things that you would not normally expect!

The new 1-9 Design Specification 2017 has been released and to support KS4 Design Technology I have created this useful resource for teachers to use in class. As the iterative design challenge will be released at the EOY 10 I have planned to get the theory in first including plastics, woods and metals. This test supports the “Woods” theory pack but can also be used throughout KS3/4 to test student knowledge and understanding of woods.

As the iterative design challenge will be released at the EOY 10 I have planned to get the theory in first including plastics, woods and metals. During each theory, there is also a simple design and make challenge that you can change and adapt to suit your own facilities and material availability etc. The Woods module covers 10 weeks on the following topics • Introduction to woods and forests around the world, Boreal forests, Tropical forests and Temperate forests. • Preparation of timber for commercial use, Air seasoning timber, Kiln Seasoning • Veneer, Natural woods, Manmade boards and flexi ply. • Introduction to the project - The Wooden Box. Design Brief and Ideas • Students will have marked out accuracy. Use of jigs • Manufacturing Lesson - Use of specialised tools, How to cut different wooden joints. • Manufacturing Lesson - Use of specialised tools. • Manufacturing in quantity, link to industrial / commercial manufacturing processes. Jigs • Adhesives, demonstration of the use of adhesives and clamping devices. • Sanding and finishing on woods • Sanding and cleaning wood ready to apply a finish • Fixings and fastenings • Finishing woods techniques – Manufacturing lesson • Woods Investigation and research Each pack contains short and detailed medium term plan, student assessment plan and a student tracker.

As the iterative design challenge will be released at the EOY 10 I have planned to get the theory in first including plastics, woods and metals. The power point provided is around 80 slides long covering the topics outlined below. During each theory, there is also a simple design and make challenge that you can change and adapt to suit your own facilities and material availability etc. The plastics module covers the first 12 weeks covering the following topics • Oil Refineries and Distillation / Start TPE • Finish TPEs / Thermoplastic Elastomers • PLA / Thermoplastic and Thermosetting plastic revision cards • Brainstorm /Product Analysis • Design Requirements – Introduce 2D Design / Materials – Plastic Polystyrene • Polyactide (other plastics) / Biopol / Polystyrene • Vacuum forming / Injection moulding / ABS Plastic • Extrusion Blow Moulding / Rotational moulding • Compression Moulding / Ergonomics and Media Storage • CD task – Designing on CAD • Manipulating and Joining / The fret saw / Design ideas • Flow chart / CIM / Practical • Practical Task Each pack contains short and detailed medium term plan, student assessment plan and a student tracker - you can adjust and change to suit your own needs.
