NCFE Engineering - Content Area 9 - Student Wookbook

NEW FOR 2024.

This is a practise synoptic project booklet focussing on some of the required workshop and engineering applied processes, skills and techniques for Year 11. The booklet links to some of the work comp

This resource should be purchased alongside the Content Area 7 Teacher PowerPoints, (sold separately as a bundle) but booklet can also be used by students as a stand-alone revision aid to support their CAD progression.

The information below provides details of why the resources have been created some recommendations as to how they should be used.

Following some experimentation with the revised specification NCFE provided student workbooks and PowerPoints in 2022/23, I decided to create my own for 2023/24 and beyond in order to improve student engagement, attainment and to help them know and remember more, particularly for the written examination.

To achieve this, I have created a series of one-page lessons (student worksheet and teacher PowerPoint) which embed retrieval, extended literacy and upgrade opportunities. I have also incorporated all relevant examination questions from the past papers available (up to Summer 2023) and sequenced these for students to complete during lesson demonstrate tasks and upgrades. All of the planned lessons follow an accelerated learning format used at my school (Connect, Activate, Demonstrate, Consolidate), which can be easily adapted if required. In order to deliver the lessons as I have planned, I would advise that you:

Present each PowerPoint as a slide show when delivering to students to ensure that intended pauses are provided to promote peer/group discussion before revealing new planned knowledge content.
Direct students to complete their workbook pages as directed by the PowerPoint slides. Each workbook lesson page provides space for students to make revision notes which can support them when completing demonstrate tasks.
Misconceptions identified via your chosen formative assessment approaches, should be clarified during the consolidate.

This resource is for Content Area 9 and consists of:

1 x adaptable student workbook to be completed alongside workshop practcial work. The expectation is that practical tasks can be completed within 16 hours of learning.
1 x practise synoptic project focussing on the workshop requirements but following on from work completed in content areas 6 and 7
Dimensioned engineering drawings and schematics for students to follow
Exemplar outcomes
Upgrade/Stretch opportunities throughout
Extended writing examination questions extracted from past papers
1 x revision map template
At least one page of content specific diagnostic (multiple choice) questions
Before presenting to your class, I would recommend you print out a copy of the workbook and complete the challenges yourself to ensure that you are confident before delivery. This will be my approach to support my own subject knowledge and CPD.

Also available, are resources for Content areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9
