Designing Exemplars - Supporting Design creation and annotation

(0)
I did these light/ lamp designs in a quick attempt to help my students with their designing, both how they present their work, thinking about angles and alterations. I have also annotated one of the ideas with aspects that would support students with their GCSE NEA. My Students have found it really useful as just a resource to get hits and tips from when they are typing up their coursework, as well as thinking about how they design. The pack has 4 original design sheets with a singular theme but variations of, and 1 annotated design sheet.
Materials Worksheets (Woods & Metals) - Design and Technology

Materials Worksheets (Woods & Metals) - Design and Technology

(0)
There are 3 Metals and 3 woods. Metals; Copper Steel Aluminium Woods; Hard Wood (oak) Soft Wood (pine) Manufactured Board (MDF) They have a started where students have to look into the uses of the different materials and then get student to explain a process relevant to the material, finally they are to complete a task asking them to explain and justify the materials different uses in specific products. I have found them great for homework, as some the kids have spent a long time drawing images for the different process section. But it could be a great revision task using textbooks as support, or an accompanying Powerpoint that you could go through as a class.

Deliberate Practise - Design and Technology Key Words

(0)
This series of 6 Deliberate practise sheets, work through the main key words of the GCSE AQA Design and Technology course. I have found deliberate practise a great revision tool with my students, it gets them thinking about the term they are learning about, in different ways, to try and cement it into their memories.
Prototyping Reflection Sheet - Design and Technology

Prototyping Reflection Sheet - Design and Technology

(0)
This is a reflection sheet for a prototyping task, I have used it for years 8, 9 and 10. The idea is that students have the images of their prototype stuck to the sheet and then critically reflect on the successes and failures, what improvements can be made/ any adaptations etc. There is a hints and tips section for any students who may struggle with writing the content.

Marking Criteria Support Sheet AQA GCSE Design & Technology

(0)
This booklet is a support material for students undergoing the NEA aspect of the AQA GCSE Design and technology assessement. I do not know if it will translate to other exam boards, but the layout is easily interchangeable if needed. I have found this really helps any students who; are forgetful, persistent absence, like to get ahead and those that struggle for inspiration and ideas. I have perfected this over the last 5 years and am very happy with the outcomes that i have gotten using it.

Annotating Designs Help Sheet - Design and Technology KS3 & KS4

(0)
i created this help sheet to support my year 10 students with their ‘mini NEA’ but realised that it can work further down the school too. It has lots of different ideas as to what sort of annotations students should be writing about their designs, i have separated them into 2 sections - the non-negotiables and the get higher marks. I have found it has worked really well with getting my lower targeted students into those top brackets. (I have also added hints and tips to support any tricky wording) This has both the original PowerPoint document and a PDF as i like to use specific fonts, which unless you have them downloaded will not work on your computer, so feel free to fiddle with it.

Design Specification - KS3/KS4 - what it is and how to (with glossary)

(0)
In design and technology, we use specifications a lot, and i think that having a resource that gets the students answering questions in more depth about their product before they start the spec is of great benefit. So there is a detailed list of questions - which then leads in ACCESSFMME - for the students to complete a table. For support and differentiation of the task i have added a glossary of terms, that some students may struggle with and some basic sentence starters (more targeted at KS3) I have trialed this with my year 8 students and they did amazingly well.
