I have produced a lesson aimed at improving pupils performance during the new 9-1 AQA DT exam. It is hoped that it will help build confidence prior to the summer exam. Pupils will need answer questions from the SAM 2 paper then analyse other pupils responces. It is designed to not only test theory knowledge but dig down to help develop pupils understanding of what to wrote to get marks in an exam. Please also see my Exam Techniques resources that are specifically based around the AQA DT specification.

Comprehensive tracker and assessment sheet, for use with the new EDEXCEL DT A Level.

Theory PowerPoint, Theory lesson sheet plus homework. Please see me other Engineering Theory topics and front cover sheet.

I have created a spreadsheet that can be used to track pupils progress through the AQA NEA project. All you need to do it is insert students names and target grades. Once a score for each section is added it will automatically calculate a score then (using the look up sheet) insert an equivalent level and RAG rate appropriately. Please note that the grade boundaries can be easily changed on the look up sheet. I also predict scores for each section based on prior performance e.g. if they achieve 8/10 for section 1 I will assume they will perform similarly on subsequent sections so i will give them 8/10 for section 2 and 16/20 for section 3 and so on. , this makes it quick and easy to see expected outcomes. I find this very helpful to motivate students.

12 Lesson project that will give students a sound understanding of the main workshop skills involved in forming, wasting and fabricating polymers, metals and woods. Students will learn how to cut, bend and screw thread metals, laser cut polymers, shape and finish wood to create a accurate and usable product. Each lesson has a starter, lesson objectives and a plenary that build through the project. Comprehensive set of ‘job cards’ are provided which include all manufacturing specification details. Look out for my other AQA theory lessons and SOW that compliment this project. dt_berwick_academy

I have produced a full range of theory lessons to support the AQA design technology GCSE 9-1. There are 40 lessons that are taught one a week throughout Y10 (listed below). Each lesson has learning objectives, starter/bell task, content (GIF’s used to support learning), plenary and summary slides in PowerPoint. I have also included a fully supported student handout which includes homework questions and summative assessment section. As well as theory lessons I have uploaded projects that are delivered alongside these theory topics. Please check these out in my shop along with tracker sheets and learning journeys for a complete package. 1 Properties 2 Metals 3 Woods and Boards 4 Seasoning and Conversion 5 Cutting 6 Drilling 7 Polymers 8 Composites 9 Papers and Boards 10 Orthographic Drawing 11 Isometric/Perspective 12 Types of Movement 13 Levers 14 Linkages and Cams 15 Gear Trains 16 Pulleys and Belts 17 Programmable Systems 1 18 Programmable Systems 2 19 Programmable Systems 3 20 Textiles 21 Marcel Breuer 22 Philippe Starck 23 Stock Forms 24 Chiselling, Planing, Turning 25 Flat Pack Furniture, 26 Wood Finishes 27 Quality Manufacture 28 Commercial Routing and Turning 29 Scales of Production 30 Smart, Modern Materials 31 Design Strategies 32 Dyson - Prototype Development 33 Apple - Recycling and Disassembly 34 Industry 35 Enterprise 36 Production Techniques 37 Design Decisions 38 Sustainability 39 Energy Generation and Storage 40 Exam Preparation

I am developing a full range of theory lessons to support the new AQA design technology GCSE 9-1. There are 30 lessons that are taught one a week throughout Y10. Each lesson has learning objectives, starter/bell task, content (GIF’s used to support learning), plenary and summary slides in PowerPoint. I have also included a fully supported student handout which includes homework questions and summative assessment section. To support the theory lessons I have uploaded, please download my pupil tracker sheet. As well as theory lessons I have uploaded project/skills learning journeys that can be easily customised to the projects you are delivering. All content is fully branded and is graphically consistent. Please check out my other resources and give feedback if you find my resources helpful. If there are any missing video links, please contact me and I will send.

Could be used as a stand alone theory lesson for delivery towards any DT qualification. I use this as part of the theory content of the new BTEC Tech Award Engineering qualification (Pearson). Please see my extensive range of other supporting resources.

Bit Stop Bedside Storage. This project will give you a sound understanding of some of the main manufacturing techniques used in industry in order to batch produce products using jigs, templates and formers. Previously gained experience in woods, metals and polymers will also be developed. CNC machining will be introduced in order to create a personalised finished product. This is a 9 lesson project, please see my theory lessons that support this project.

This is a small wood based project that gives pupils an introduction to wood work whilst developing isometric sketching and Photoshop presentation skills. I use this as part of the new AQA GCSE DT course. It includes all resources needed to deliver successfully. I also have a range of Theory topics available to support this project, please see ‘lesson plan’ document and look in my shop.

Castle Attack is a group work project aimed at giving students a platform to develop and design working prototypes through modeling and trial and error. The aim to to produce a working trebuchet that is able to fire accuratley. Ideal for delivery in KS3 and KS4. Please look at my other projects that compliment this one.
