Home Based Learning Activity: Sustainability

Home Based Learning Activity: Sustainability

(0)
A 4 hour learning activity/project that encourages independent learning to meet set outcomes. This activity was developed as a short project based learning activity to compliment the work that the pupils do in school. There are 3 milestones for the pupils to complete using the resources provided to answer a driving question. Driving Question How can we convince people to use eco-friendly products and reduce the impact they have on the planet? Context As a consumer you buy and throw away lots of products such as phones, pens, packaging. These products not only use lots of our resources but end up in landfills and cause pollution. We should all look to reduce our impact on the environment but as designers we should also consider how products impact the environment and look for ways to reduce that impact. Complete the milestones above to investigate the impact and how it can be reduced. In the resource you will find an overview sheet and 4 suitable resource sheets to help pupils complete the desired outcomes.

DT Project Home Based Learning - Toothbrush Design

(0)
This is a 10 hour project I created for pupils who are isolating or working from home during the Covid pandemic. The premis of the project is to consider how design can have a positive impact on others. Pupils are expected to complete the project through independent learning were teacher support is not available. In this project pupils will consider how they can design a product for someone with arthritis. They will look at existing products, carry out some research, create designs on paper and through tinkercad. They will model their designs using home made playdough and create a final pitch. The project is designed so that their is some guidance on what the pupils need to learn or be able to achieve, links to internet resources to help them complete tasks and upload or provide evidance. I use Google classroom to provide pupils with their own copy but you may want to adapt if pupils require paper copies.

Interactive fun powerpoint game based on classic childrens games

(0)
Here is one of the powerpoints I made for our house competitions. Players can select from one of the classic children’s games and gain points by playing the game. The powerpoint is fully automated and interactive, There are various outcomes so if they do it once they could do it again for a different outcome. You can add slides and change the transition/links if you desire to make it easier or hard. Interactive games Operation Buckaroo Pop up Pirate Jenga Kerplunk Guess Who and a guess the board game quiz thrown in! This took a couple of hours to create so if you use it and find it useful please review. Thanks

The slides outline what is needed to answer the questions and how to access the higher marks. Pre completed Revision cards for Lean Manufacturing Powdered metallurgy Blank revision cads for pupils to complete Feel free to adapt Stater answers Blended wing bodies = Less Drag, More lift, quieter, more fuel efficient, harder to control, less safe (with regards to being able to evacuate) Hope it helps!

Focus on Designer Design task

Focus on Designer Design task

(1)
This lesson follows on from the revision of a designer lesson in my resources. The reasonong behind the lesson is to reiterate the work of the designer but to also focus on some sketching skills and design thinking. There are 3 tasks. 1 Practicing sketching - Straight lines, Curves, Ellipses, Perspective, Coverging lines 2. Practicing shading and contering (if you are not great at product design then I suggest you use this video from you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-UqGtsjKiU ) 3. Design a clock using sketching skills in the style of Phillipe Stark There are some visual images that you can use for inspiration as well. Not my greatest resource but could come in handy
