AQA Design and Technology lesson revision practical (making a name plate)

Hi everyone;

With this you will find 4 slides with a breakdown of the AQA curriculum based on natural timbers and manufactured boards. We go into the characteristics.

I find with my pupils I think it would be unfair to try and hold their engagement with lots of slides and note taking. So I planned a practical where we will make a name plate/coat hook. This will help with their understanding of sources and origins of timbers. This will include a breakdown from felled timbers, seasoning, packing and then distribution. Using animations and a step by step click and explain.

Third slide goes into tools equipment and processes while making a name plate/coat hook. The processes will be sawing, cutting with a router, drilling and through CNC routering or can be replaced with laser engraving. I wanted to include vacuum forming so will allow for my pupils to vacuum form plastic over the top. The vacuum forming will not need to be removed just the edges cut off.

I hope from combining a practical and revision they will be able to retain the information more easily.

This package includes the slides and 2D Design drawing where pupils can alter the text and understand third angle projection. But I cannot attach the file as it says it is unsupported on TES. But if you require the drawing leave a comment review and write to me with your email and I will email you the drawing.
