Another Dimension is the title of this unit of work that focuses on KS3 Graphics with a practical and kinaesthetic approach. There are three booklets in this premium resource for one reasonable price for higher, middle and lower ability students. The focus of the booklet(s) is to develop basic technical drawing and modelling skills including isometric projection, 1 point and 2 point perspective and presentation techniques such as thick and thin lines, rendering, shading and tone. I have tried to add an element of fun whilst trying to incorporate the fundamental skills that are required at GCSE by asking the students to design and model a toothbrush for an alien; encouraging creativity and innovation. Students use play-doh to model their designs, photograph and then draw in isometric and annotate to explain their design using ACCESSFM. My students really enjoyed the practical aspect of this unit and as they are so busy drawing I found it really easy to go around and provide verbal feedback, stamp their work and allow them time to respond which massively reduced the amount of marking I had to do at the end of the project. We ran it as a 12 hour project on a 6 week rotation system but it could easily be adapted to suit a variety of delivery approaches. Please leave a review :)

This curriculum map covers the four strands of the NEW KS3-4 Assessment criteria based on the most up to date government documentation. Design, Make, Evaluate & Technical Knowledge are the core principles of the KS3 Strategy and this map is developed using the new GCSE 9-1 grading system from the AQA Design Technology Specification. It outlines all of the skills and knowledge students should be able to demonstrate in KS3 but also incorporates at level of what they should be able to demonstrate at KS4 to allow a seamless transition between KS3-4 and therefore can be used as a 5 year curriculum map. This is now an editable version of the document so you can adapt it to suit your school’s grading system.

This previously 5*rated resource outlines all lessons from the BTEC SOW for Unit 1 Child Development: A.

Be able to apply theories and models of child development to support children’s development D. Understand how a range of factors influence children’s development E. Understand the importance of recognising atypical development There were no resources at all when I started teaching this so this took me a year to collate- I hope you find it useful- I guarantee it will save you many hours of work!

This powerpoint is a set of multicultural food mats for use across the key stages. Ideal for food and nutrition research tasks, information retrieval, homework tasks and PSHCE activities.

Following the new life after levels I have developed this Curriculum Map/Assessment Criteria for use with Food and Nutrition lessons from KS3-4 as this now stands alone from Design Technology. The map provides a seamless transition from KS3-4 and can be used as a 5 year curriculum map. The core principles are based on the most up to date government documentation and are focused on Knowledge Application, Manufacturing Skills, Planning and Evaluation but with a secondary focus on the AQA Food, Preparation and Nutrition specification. It works on the new GCSE 1-9 grading system but as it’s an editable word document that you can adapt this to suit your school. As an additional resource, I have also included two pupil friendly assessment criteria sheets that can be used to self/peer assess work in KS3 which has saved me lots of time marking! I hope it saves you lots of time. Please rate and review :)

Introduce your new Year 7’s to the core principles of Design Technology including ACCESS FM, drawing skills, presentation techniques and environmental issues. This premium resource incudes the lesson powerpoint and student work booklet and is in line with the NEW D&T curriculum assessment criteria (see My Shop for KS3 Assessment Map). In my dept we spent 2x 2 hour lessons to complete this booklet and then used an internal moderation to set pupils into ability groups for the year based on their completed booklet but it could be adapted to a variety of delivery methods. You could also use this unit of work as an introduction to drawing skills for a Graphics unit in KS3. Hope you find it useful please leave a review :)

This practical and fun resource was produced for a KS3 Biology lesson for SEND students so is pitched at more of a KS2 level (P7-Year4). Learning objectives: To see and understand the process of photosynthesis I brought a range of plants and herbs to the lesson for a predominantly sensory lesson. Students were given sensory descriptors on word mats to help them describe the smell, appearance and feel of the plants that had been with or without sunlight. We compared their findings and discussed what happens to plants when they have: sunlight+water+carbon dioxide=sugar +oxygen Activity: students to place keywords onto the print out picture of the flower in the correct place. Plenary: Are these guys right? Questioning from simple statements about what conditions plants need to grow

Literacy in Design Technology is high on everyone's agenda! I have developed these Higher Order Thinking Skills cards after we had a literacy training session by Graham Tyrer, literacy guru and Ofsted inspector. They can be used in a variety of ways to encourage discussion and higher order thinking, challenge and differentiation in the D&T classroom. Ideas for delivery: * call out a number and ask the student to read the question- use more complex questions to focus on higher ability pupils * use differentiated questions for all abilities * use to develop stretch and challenge in group discussion or independent work

These cards go with the Level 3 Children's Play, Learning & Development presentation (slide 7). There are a number of statements for tasks/actions a baby or child should be able to do in the Infancy life stage. Students should sort the statements into age order and then categorise them into the different areas of development; physical, intellectual, emotional or social. You could extend the task or differentiate by getting students to state specific ages etc.
