An adaption of the platinum pudding to make smaller serving in cups. Lesson plan gives options for the recipe depending on your time frame. From using pre-prepared parts or making the full recipe to make the dessert ready for the jubilee celebrations.

Suitable for home learning project or homework task. based on the Disney+ series shop Class. Following a similar theme to each of the first three episodes. a challenge is set and the booklet provides a framework for students to document their design, research and explore the concept of imagineering. Plenty of different activities and option to extend with prototyping using cardboard and materials easily accessible from home. Booklet 1: little free library Booklet 2: golf course Booklet 3: Skate Park Obstacle check out the trailer for the disney+ series for more info on the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZWoS5vW8J8

Revision resources for the final topic as well advice for revision. I’ve included files for past papers and mark schemes when they are freely accessible online so they can be found in one place.

Topic 29 is for after students have finished the NEA or close to finishing and offers the opportunity for them to reflect and review all of their work and guide them to develop areas they may have overlooked.

Topic 28 Guidance for students prior to starting their NEA Contextual Challenge. Examples, explaining the concept of an NEA and advice for students to give them a good start on the project. Activities to strengthen the understanding and get them practicing good techniques.

Topic 27 will extend students understanding of career paths related to design, product design and engineering.

Topic 26 is about prototyping. Suitable for preparing students for the NEA Contextual Challenge as well as increasing their understanding of the design development process. Comparing cardboard modeling vs 3d printing and activities to strengthen learning.

Topic 25 is about health and safety and the use of risk assessment and planning for controlling risk in the workshop but also in larger situations. Useful for planning as part of the NEA and prior to any workshop practical projects.

Topic 24 is focused on the work of other successful and interesting designers. Some are on specifications for certain exam boards but I have also included designers I feel students are inspired by and keen to investigate further. there are relevant videos and activities to support learning.

Topic 23 focuses around creativity and the process of coming up with designs as well as developing designs. often students struggle with design fixation or even coming up with their first ideas. This resource shares video and techniques for coming up with creative solutions as well as strategies you can use to practice becoming more creative.

Topic 22 is excellent for students researching or thinking about preparing for their NEA Contextual challenge. It gives a range of activities, techniques fro students to gather information to support their designing.

Topic 21 covers quality control in industry and design. Suitable for preparing students for practicals and also getting them to think carefully about what risks there are in their environment and how they can control/mitigate them. Includes relevant videos and activities to build up understanding and how to apply more QC to their own work.

Topic 20 Polymers A project based around polymers for students to further their understanding of this material area. I have mainly used this with acrylic in schools and is suitable for using up scrap plastic if you have leftovers from a laser cutter perhaps. Follows the design process and has opportunity for student independence throughout. Would work with or without access to a laser cutter

Perfect for home learning or even in limited workshop space. This booklet includes QR codes to relevant Youtube videos to support learning as students complete a range of research tasks to design the perfect off-road vehicle. They will be encouraged to research suspension as well as designers, product analysis and write a specification. Students will also trial scale drawing and prototyping using card and craft materials.

Topic 19 is a second look at timbers with more detail and hands on approach from the students. following a creative design brief allowing students to explore the design process further (great opportunity to build skills prior to the NEA) and to gain further workshop experience.

Scales of Production is topic 17 of the GCSE PowerPoints. Students are presented with videos, facts and activities to learn about the different types of production and how/why they may be applied. Creative task for extending knowledge that would be suitable for homework or at home learning.

Topic 18, a more detailed at papers and boards A more in depth look at papers and board, beginning with the source and production of paper before setting a creative brief and design task for students to follow that should allow them to deepen their understanding of using and working with papers/boards. The activity requires lots of cardboard and would be suitable for at home learning if some basic tools were supplied to extend it beyond working with just scissors.

Topic 16 of the GCSE PowerPoint Collection Covering ecological and social issues that student’s should develop an understanding of. Activities and discussion points to support learning throughout along with videos and images to bring the topics alive with real-life examples.

Topic 15 of the GCSE Product DEsign course. Exploring the consequences and areas that designers must consider when selecting and using materials in designs and product manufacture. Includes relevant video, discussion points, and activities to spark learning and practice/develop the skills in following the case study of Aluminium production and the creation of a learning resource.
