This handout is an excellent resource for calculating the nutritional values of any dish. Pupils add the amount of nutritional values for each ingredient of the dish they are planning to make. This includes: Fat; Calories; Protein; Carbohydrates and Fibre. They then add these up to work out the total value per dish of their choice and the divide this by the amount of servings. They can then add these amounts to create their own nutritional values label and a blank one is included in the sheet. This is the original Word document so can be fully edited to which ever values you want to calculate.

This is a great mini-bundle of a range of activities designed specifically for D&T subjects (or Art) covering an entire project. The package includes 10 resources: An initial design sheet; 6R's activity; Best thing/change 1 thing activity (mini self-assessment); Self/peer assessment activity; Design diary blanks (continuous reflection); Evaluation headings and prompts; 1-5-1 (self assessment); 5-5-1 (self assessment); Group Assessment (based on ACCESS FM); Your Project (reflection/evaluation). They are perfect to accompany your own projects but can also be great for cover lessons. Many of these are original Word documents and can be fully edited to specifically suit your subject.

A useful resource for mini evaluations and areas of improvement. Pupils write a sentence about the best thing and one thing they would change. This is great to use just before they create their final designs but also at the end of projects. Can be used as continuous assessment at different stages of the project or at the end.

This is to be used for a whole lesson where pupils write short sentences about their target market and design theme. Then they create 4 initial designs in the boxes. Great for pupils who struggle fitting designs or their layouts of their workbook pages.

This is a 2 slide powerpoint which includes both a complete and blank table, to be printed and used as a pupil activity. The first slide has the complete answers and you could show this during an explanation and get the pupils to fill in the blanks themselves or you can just give them the complete sheet. This is full editable.

This was created as I was getting a lot of irrelevant questions during my lessons which were taking up valuable teaching time. I overcame this by using these. Pupils are given 2 question tokens at the start of each lesson and the backs feature possible ways to get an answer without asking the teacher: Can I answer this myself? Is it urgent? Can someone else help? These are not designed to stop pupils asking questions but rather to think for themselves. The majority of the time pupils know the answer but don't think about it properly. and develop their own cognitive abilities. All you need to do is print these back to back, they have been tested several times to ensure they line up correctly providing you know which direction your printer prints! Laminate to make them last forever! Give it a try! You may save hours!
