A new way to monitor vital signs (that can see through walls) by Dina Katabi | TED2018 This new device is worth learning about .

These two guides should help most students get to grips with Fusion 360. There are 2 versions available, I would suggest starting all students on the basic version, then distribute the Advanced sheets as required. I have trialed these guide sheets with Y7 - 10 students and found if they follow the steps closely they can excel with this powerful software package. The guides encourage students to build using ‘Components’ as a number of my pupils have become stuck having designed their model as a collection of ‘Bodies’. Although it makes teaching the software slightly more challenging to begin with, I have found this approach produces more stable models in the long run. These resources are freely available, make use of them and share, but please keep the logo on the bottom and do not sell them on. Thanks Dan

Year 10 Product design-Modelling Lesson (Dragon’s Den) This is a lesson planned I created for a QTS assessment and was graded outstanding. This is very detailed and easy to follow. Everything is differentiated and specifically designed to accommodate all in your class. The approach I used was a typical DRAGON’S DEN scenario where students had to present their prototype product to other groups of 4 in the class. Lesson Plan, Dragon’s Den questions, Next step emerging needs card included in Powerpoint as well as OCR Specs outlined for students to ensure that there is the suitable and correct amount of differentiation and assessments are achieved. The OFSTED inspector loved the idea and was impressed with the deeper level of thinking I developed by conducting the lesson in such a way. My questionning techniques were also a key features the Inspector identified as outstanding.

This is the booklet I use with my year 9 classes. It is completed over a 10 week period where there are 15 lessons. The work is to help build the skills required for NEA 1 and NEA 2 at GCSE. It introduces the basic skills including how to conduct an investigation, how to record results, how to research and how to produce detailed time plans. Pupils are encouraged to work as a team for the investigation work then independently for a food preparation task.

This is an updated version of a previous resource. It is based on 15 lessons with pupils over 10 weeks. The basic knowledge is covered such as washing up, weighing and measuring, The Eatwell Guide and sustainability. The work helps to build the skills required should pupils choose to opt for GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition. Along with the booklet is the Scheme of Work and the recipe booklet I use. Hope you find them useful.

A complete lesson with the aim of raising awareness of the sugar content of processed foods. Students will learn how to read nutritional information on packaged products and determine their sugar content. To reinforce the high levels of sugar present, students will compare the sugar content of foods with their equivalent in sugar cubes, smarties and biscuits based on a practical investigation.

This template has original been used for the legacy course of resistant materials and still contains the materials elements. These can be overwritten/changed to conform with the new DT specification elements and core skill required for studying the new specification. A time saver.

This booklet has recipes, literacy and scientific experiments for students to work through based on the GCSE FPN course . It is aimed at higher ability students but can be scaffolded / differentiated easily. The scientific experiment worksheet also attached can be used / adapted for various scientific experiments, this one is written to support the experiment in the student booklet.

This is a module of work, approx 5-6 weeks including practicals and experiments for the poultry, meat fish and eggs commodity for GCSE Foof Prep and Nutrition, i teach Eduqas but it could be used for other exam boards too. Aimed at higher ability but can be adapted / differentiated quite easily.

A booklet I used with a group of Year 9 's where you have a Technological word that the students then try to make up as many different words from the letters within it in a set time period. They then try to beat this target on a weekly basis. there is also a handy log for any homework set.
