2021 AQA DT GCSE NEA Guide to Section E This is the perfect resource for remote learning to get students enthused, confident and carrying on, with a high quality power point, with highly detailed guidance, examples and specialist technical knowledge, with relevant visuals and animations, YouTube tutorials, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section E! This is an extremely comprehensive resource that covers this entire unit Learning outcomes: In this GCSE coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: How the mark scheme translates into chunked research tasks The core and technical subject knowledge of section with strong emphasis on researching the correct tools, materials and equipment, as well as health and safety, quality control and relevance to their intended prototype manufacture Two different pathways in representing the process of representing this intended manufacture: Either a more detailed manufacturing diary or a flowchart How to present their final design concept, explaining its commercial viability and how it meets the requirements of their client. How to consider viability of commercial manufacture, by comparing school vs. commercial industrial manufacturing processes, considering different scales of production in the process. I have gone into an incredible level of detail on the manufacture processes, including: Wasting processes, Sawing & jointing, Drilling, Turning , Polymer forming processes: Vacuum forming, Line bending , CAD CAM processes: Laser cutting, 3d printing, Metal processes: Casting, MIG welding, Soldering, Standard components and fixings, Knock down fittings, Fixings, Tensol glue, Epoxy resin, PVA glue, Finishes, Adding veneer, Painting with acrylic/stain/watercolour, and finally Varnishing. I also mention injection moulding and industrial processes. This aspect of the power point alone makes this an invaluable resource for exam revision as it covers all the core specialist Technical knowledge aspects in the GCSE course. Potential learning outcomes: Next 4 - 5 slides/pages of NEA / Length – 3 - 5 lessons (including student activity) This is the fifth part of my TES lessons dealing with the NEA that can be recorded on power point or paper, Please look to the resources here for section A (first two), section B and a combination section C/D unit/power point: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-dt-gcse-nea-guide-to-section-c-and-d-12477833 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-dt-gcse-nea-guide-to-section-a-12395717 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-dt-gcse-nea-section-a-part-2-12401619 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-dt-gcse-nea-guide-to-section-b-12417046 …to have a consistent beginning!

D&T Evaluation Worksheets The reason behind these sheets: I was getting frustrated with how difficult it was to get students to ‘evaluate’, rather than ‘describe’, as they often did in the D&T project evaluations. The emphasis in these worksheets is to get the student thinking and explaining by answering questions about every stage of the ‘design and make’ process. This has helped them learn the meaning of evaluation through the process of asking reflective questions. Learning Outcomes: In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of: Clear success criteria to guide students on what constitutes a good outcome Evaluation questions for every part of a ‘design and make’ project, including research methods, Design Process, Mock ups/prototype stage, Manufacture process, CAD/CAM process, including testing and conclusion How to structure their response in complex sentences, using P.E.E., supported by using differentiated materials. Power point: The attractive and visual power point can be used on the white board and also printed as a worksheet, as can the question slide Power point Worksheets/categories: The worksheets are differentiated into two categories, so that students who have learning difficulties (LA) will not be overwhelmed and will have much more literacy support with sentence stems. The second category that caters to the middle and higher ability student has differentiation in the form of more open ended tasks as well as ‘Challenges’. I have left super challenges blank so a student can fill this in themselves to be more independent! In theory, one sheet could be used to support the other, or even used for lower school VS. upper school evaluations Please leave a positive review if this helped, thank you!

This is an artist worksheet, that includes analysis questions about Van Gogh’s Sunflowers - 1889. This is suitable for lesson, cover, home work or baseline assessment.
