<p>The resource introduces two key/famous product designers. encouraging key skills for researching, helping students to be independent and raise understanding of key designers. The task develops students reading comprehension and encourages students to complete a series of graduated challenge tasks from knowledge of key words, comprehension of text and application of the research completed. It can be used as in class tasks, homeworks or cover lessons.</p>

<p>This 36 page workbook is designed to support teachers and students through the content of Unit 109 (exam) of the Cambridge National L2 in Engineering Manufacture but can support other Engineering courses too in the subject knowledge of their respective courses. The workbook enable students to present their work in a way that means revision is simple and easy to follow.</p>

<p>A bundle of 15 homework sheets designed to engaged KS4 engineering students with homework. Aimed at the new spec for Cambridge National Engineering manufacture students. Covering a range of topics including manufacturing processes, wasting processes, shaping processes, forming processes, engineering drawing, additive manufacture, risk assessments, CNC vs manual production, SOPs, engineering careers, tools, material categories.</p>

<p>This twin (double sided) poster has been designed to be used as a resource aimed at KS3 but could also be used with KS4 students in Design and Technology DT lessons. The poster explains at an 11 year old level what CNC (computer numerical control) is, the benefits and drawbacks, where CNC machines are used and provides a more in depth look at laser cutting and 3D printing.</p> <p>The poster has been used as an alternative when internet is not accessible or when a computer room can’t be used. It has been used in cover lessons, revision sessions for KS4 and KS5. It is the essential resource to use as a reference for learning more about CNC.</p>

<p>Increase student engagement in homework by providing appropriate differentiated challenge. This take away homework bundle is used to encourage engagement with homeworks through choice of activity. It opens up students to select which tasks they would like to complete relating to interests in the topic being studied and their personal strengths and learning style.</p> <p>Use the templates provided and overlay your homework choices using text boxes. Plan a range of appropriate homeworks to your study topic which vary in difficulty and challenge. Then allow students to choose their preferred homework.</p>

<p>This literacy mat is aimed at all key stages to support extended writing and key written task in D&amp;T such as annotation, analysis and evaluation. The mat also has common connectives, homophones, punctuation and non negotiable words which help to guide students in avoiding common mistakes in their written work.

The mat is double sided and in Microsoft Word format to enable you to edit colours and add your own non negotiable words (key words every student should spell correctly).</p>

<p>These set of design challenges (contextual design assessments) can be set to assess students creativity in addressing design briefs and specifications. Alternatively they could be set as homeworks or cover lesson activities. The set covers a range of subjects within Design and Technology from Product design, Engineering, Textiles and Graphics. The blank template can also be used to create one of your own to suite the project at your school. Each template comes with a brief, basic specification, marking criteria for teacher, self or peer assessment and space for feedback to be left. The page has a specific area for initial design to be created, annotated and reviewed before selecting the best idea to produce a final iterative version of following feedback.</p>

<p>These 3 sheets are designed to help students understand the mark schemes and how individual planned tasks relate to the mark schemes of units R110, R111 and R112.</p> <p>They can be used for student self assessment or to help teachers to structure each unit effectively.</p>

<p>This spreadsheet is aimed at tracking assessment and progress all in one place. It records coursework marks and comments that can be mail merged to the assessment recording sheets which saves huge amounts of time. The spreadsheet also tracks progress in theory and practical activities which contribute to unit R109.</p> <p>In addition this document also has tabs which include theory planning and a gant chart plan.</p>
