Based on NEW Cambridge Resistant Materials IGCSE major project criteria.
Each Assessment Criteria is broken down into sub tasks (26 total) . Each task is further subdivided into its important constituent parts and allocated 3 banded Success Criteria to aid pupil clarity and understanding of the new requirements.
This resource allows pupils to easily peer assess each other as vague syllabus assessments are broken down into detailed, manageable tasks for pupils. Also an excellent method of speeding up the formative and summative assessment processes for teachers.
Designed for the Cambridge IGCSE, but will work equally well as a general structure with all GCSE Resistant Material examining bodies.
Worksheet and example for incremental development and documentation of designs. Including hand sketching, CAD, 3D printed testing and exemplary annotation.
Ideal as a resource for high achieving KS3 design students, GCSE design pupils or 16+.
6 lesson presentation for teaching drawing skills from scratch, up to complex isometric crating and rendering. Ideally used as a teacher led presentation guide, allied with demonstrations of each technique. Also useful as a set of homework tasks for pupils or simply independent learning and up-skilling of pupils drawing.
Tasks include:
Technique for freehand straight lines and circles

Each lesson includes: Timing guidance, Lesson Objectives, Plenaries, Starters, Explanation for each task and Visual examples of outcomes.
Step by step guide through ALL 7 Criterion of the major project for new IGCSE Cambridge Resistant Materials syllabus (2018-2022).
Broken down into individual tasks (26) for each specific criterion to fully cover the new requirements.
Almost all tasks have a starter task, accompanying worksheet, guidance & explanation, previous high attaining examples, and success criteria broken down into sub sections of 3 bands to aid pupil understanding. Success criteria is perfect for peer marking or to aid summative and formative teacher assessment.
Tasks and resources are ideally used as individual lessons over a period of **4-6 months **for the creation of the personal major project. Can be used as presentation for teachers or simply given to pupils as a guide book.
Tailored to Cambridge syllabus, but will work well with all GCSE Resistant Material courses.
Step by step guide through Criterion 6 of the major project for new IGCSE Cambridge Resistant Materials syllabus (2018-2022).
Recommended layout and explanation of how to maximize marks for the making criteria
Tailored to Cambridge syllabus, but will work well with all GCSE Resistant Material courses.
