The project is a travel game designed to be enclosed inside a CD case. Students work to design and develop a game design that can be laser cut. They then also develop a CD sleeve using graphics skills. Extension tasks can be used to develop a blister packaging or the game.
This project includes various resources including a project plan, student work booklet, example templates.
A set of recipes used to tech students a range of different cooking skills with a sweet focus. These were used as part of a Bake Off project where students were taught a range of skills before developing their own recipes to complete in a bake off style competition.
All recipes can be cooked in 1 hour and include picture stages as well as written stages to allow for differentiation. All recipes are editable so can be adapted or your own use if needed.
A word of the week powerpoint with a word for each school week, can be displayed on screens around school, printed as a display or used as a starter activity. Full editable.
