A worksheet that asks students to match pictures of tools to their names by drawing a line between them. Designed for lower ability students. Originally made for use with some of our students working at the lower national curriculum levels in the Special School I work at for Children with Autism.

A recipe card for Ugali. This is the Staple Food through much of East Africa including Kenya. I've made it for my Cubs on a few occasions. It is quite bland and should really be eaten with some fried greens, typically something like kale or cabbage.

A number of worksheets to cover a project where the pupils make a storage tray. The first sheet covers shading, 2nd writing a design brief and explaining who the product is targetted at, 3rd ACCESS FM Analysis, 4th Ergonomics and Specification, 5th Handle Design and types of joint, 6th Final Design and the last page Development and Testing and Evaluation.

ActivExpression Quiz - Answers included to enable use as a paper based quiz. Focuses on events that would have affected children including: Rationing, Evacuation and Air Raids. Some teaching slides included within the quiz. Last slide required 'Air Raid Sound Effect&' that I&';ve uploaded separately. (Due to size restrictions.) If you are from outside the North East you may wish to modify one quiz slide and two teaching slides.

A booklet of various easy to pick up and follow songs enjoyed by the Cub age group (8 to 10 1/2 years old). I've uploaded it here incase anyone can find any use for these songs in school or on school residential experiences. Alternatively if you are a Cub leader all you probably need do is change the front cover. Though we don&'t want no 'Someones verbing lord, Kum ba Ay' verses (I was telling the Cubs how to make other verses not giving them another one to sing!)

An assembly constructed for a visit by our local Fire Brigade. It contains the song 'The Fire Brigade' by DonnaJMinto with lyrics and related photos. It also has an edited version of 'When I needed a neighbour' with fire brigade related lyrics (written by me) again with lyrics and photos. There is a single shot in the middle for when the fire brigade visit their talk to the entire school. We are a special school for autisitic students aged 3 to 19 years old.

An Assembly Template that I made for one of the teachers at the school I work at. It includes a visual timetable and a couple of songs (no music but I've left the slides with the lyrics in place). This assembly also still includes our central main piece that was on the topic of 'Ordinary People doing Extraordinary Things' - it includes a link to the YouTube video we showed during the assembly.

A sheet that requires students to correctly sequence four of the stages involved in making a product. (Design, Marking Out, Cutting (etc...) and Assembly) They also have to fill in additional details about each of these stages. In this case the product shown in production is a bird house though the stages are the same for any hands on DT that doesn't require specialist equipment.

A series of worksheets to take students through the initial stages of making a Frame for a Mirror. The sheets include: Research, ACCESS FM Analysis of an Existing Product, Specification, Initial Designs (includes an isometric grid) and another ACCESS FM analysis sheet to help pupils develop their ideas. These worksheets were used by a class at the Special School where I work. (Autistic Students).

Three sheets to take pupils through Specificiation, Research and Initial Ideas (this page includes room for 2 designs and has an isometric grid).

A score sheet for an Egg Drop Team Building Activity. Each of the materials available for use has a purchase price and the teams score based on how much of their budget they have remaining as we as on design and whether the egg survives.

A poster to show students what is expected of them if they are performing at the Democracy level of the Raise Responsibility system. This is a system that encourages students to take ownership of their own behaviour.

This sheet shows 4 of the stages that I took our Scout Groups badge through whilst designing it. It clearly shows how different parts of a design can be modified and changed and built on as a design progresses.

Here are a lot of scans of the drawings on our tool poster set that we display in our Design and Technology room. I was scanning them all in to make in to resources but decided there might be some people who'd find the images themselves useful. All of these images were hand drawn a long while ago. I&'m happy for people to use them as they wish but if you make resources with them please be as so kind as to upload them here. Thank you.

5 worksheets covering the following items: hammer; g-cramp; tenon saw; coping saw and safety goggles. For each worksheet there are 6 differentiated variants: 1 - copy the name of the tool; 2 - find the name of the tool and write it; 3 - unscramble the name of the tool; 4 - fill in the missing words; 5 - complete the sentences (only the starts are given) and 6 - write about the tools (they are only given instructions of what to write about). Each sheet has an extension activity of colouring in the picture of the tool (or shading it at the higher levels).

A TEACCH activity where students have to match a photo of the type of tool to a simple description about what it is used for. This worksheet includes: Laser Cutter, Pillar Drill, Vinyl Cutter and Thermo Forming Centre.

A worksheet that is designed to help teach students how to annotate their research to help them gain higher grades in examinations later in their school lives. This resource was made for the autistic students from the Special School that I work at. It is also designed in a way to encourage the students to have to do some written work and to give them a degree of choice. This resource now contains 3 different differentiations of the 2nd sheet (the page the pupils need to write on).

A sheet that shows some Swahili words and the translation in English. The words could also be cut out and used as a matching activity. Covers 10 words / phrases.

I'm uploading this as an example of how we have encouraged young people to participate in a range of activities. It may be possible for you to edit it to make it suitable for your setting. The young people each got a passport and then had a number of activities that they could choose to visit - each activity had a stamp that they could then have added to their passport after the completed the activity. It was a good way of giving the young people a choice but still having an incentive in place to encourage them to complete all the activities.

Here are a series of 4 differentiated worksheets to help students create a persuasive poster encouraging people to buy Bug Houses that they were producing as part of their Design and Technology lessons. This set of posters formed part of an observed lesson and was designed to show cross curricular links with English. (As we currently have a focus on writing within our school.) We started the lesson by showing the students a variety of adverts and talking about the features they use.
