Teacher powerpoint slides, individual activities and exemplars for a 14 hour project for KS3 year 7 or year 8. This project is skills based. Students will need a USB cable (which can be recycled from a keyboard or device) and a LED card (can be purchased in bulk on AliExpress.) The plywood base uses 18mm and 3mm ply, however the base can be made from a solid piece of timber with a slot rebated on a table router. This pack contains. 1 - Choosing a design brief and writing a specification. 2 - Drawing design ideas in isometric, 2D and using tinkerCAD, including a PDF of exemplars. 3 - Storyboard planning task, including images and machine infographics. 4 - Pillar drill matching and writing activity (in class, cover or homework). 5 - Soldering reading/word frame activity (in class, cover or homework.) 6 - Evaluation This activity can be extended with the use of multiple layers and embellishment on the base. For ITTs it can be simplified using Vinyl Cut stickers on backboards that are precut, this saves time and file conversion. YouTube CAD tutorials available.

A student friendly tracker for self assessment or teacher assessment to help identify areas of strength and areas of weakness for The Engineered World exam. Created in excel, completely editable. Can be used along side my mock exams and other resources. Free to NQT's just get in touch.

A set of worksheets. The first asks students to copy and label the die casting process diagram. The others are to label the stages of die casting using keywords and write the advantages and disadvantages. Any suggestions just get in touch.

A lesson where students exchange information to develop their understand of the following tools and what shape profiles they cut in materials; counter bore, center drill, twist drill bit, flat-bottomed drill bit, tap, die, countersink, reamer, facing tool, turning tool. The lesson starts with speed dating (instructions included) where students read out slips to each other (sounds a bit naff but works really well if they are not a group that engages well with writing and has a clear oracy element.) Team discussions and teacher lead discussions moves on to a highlight keywords and explain their meaning sheet. Finally the students have to try and identify which tools create which profiles from given diagrams using the descriptions. Support students moving from Pass to Merit, helps less able to engage with L1 identification of tools, with less writing and more speaking. Probably an hours worth of teaching, identify the profiles could be given as a consolidation homework if you run out of time. All text editable in download. Compliment my other Unit 7: Machining resources. Any feedback greatly received!

This is a team work based game that introduces students to the following topics: Surface mount technology CNC machinery Pick and place robotics Drop forging Shearing Teams of four/five are assigned roles (I've assigned teams of 4 because I have classes of 20+) but you could do teams of three by merging the writer/explainer role. Five paragraphs (1 about each process) are put out on different tables and students have to work as a team to produce a quick poster of each process using words and pictures. I'm going to give the team with the best 5 posters a prize at the end. Students are each given specific tasks and their are rules to keep them in check. A five minute timer and two minute timer are in the powerpoint to help you move them on and keep the pressure/pace of the competition going. They could even vote for the winning team at the end or you could get the teams to swap posters and add in anything they think was missing.

This resources is an adaptable lesson PowerPoint including worksheets covering the advantages and disadvantages of Titanium, Tungsten, Superalloys, Modern high performance ceramics, Kevlar and Optical Fibres. In the bell task students can annotate the first slide in pairs or teams to establish prior knowledge. The main task is a series of six fact slides, one for each material. I print and place these on the tables and then students can move around the room to each table copying down the facts. However, you could a copy of each material slide to a table and use KAGAN strategies (5 minutes - 10 minutes per slide to copy each and swap) if they are a lively bunch or you want them to remain seated. Discussions for a plenary or save for your next starter.

A set of resources including four worksheets and a presentation that aims teach students about blended wing bodies used in the aerospace engineering sector. The bell work is a spot the difference task that aims to encourage students to compare and contrast traditional aircraft with aircraft that have blended wing bodies. This moves into a discussion about their advantages and disadvantages. From this point students should be able to answer all of the questions in the worksheets. Types of questions include multiple choice questions, learning of key terms, and given statements where students have to justify the answers. The final task is a long answer question, ideal as an extension for more able students, or a homework for all.
