Product Analysis worksheet - great for cover or 1 off lesson

Product Analysis worksheet - great for cover or 1 off lesson

(0)
A all in 1 worksheet, we have it laminated in our department so that they can be re-used - all the kids need is A4 paper and some basic equipment. I have designed it to be used as either a cover lesson or filler lesson, as it can be taught and gone through by a specialist or non specialist but they will come out understanding the context of a product analysis.

6 R's Cover/Theory lesson Worksheet

(0)
This is a 1 A4 page hour lesson task, can be used for a cover lesson or a general theory lesson. It goes trough the meaning of the 6 R’s of sustainability, with an introductory match up task, a look at these objects and analyse task, leading to a re design drawing task. It encourages, group learning and independent designing. Little to no teacher talk is needed (you could always accompany it with printed images of objects as opposed to physical ones).

Annotating Designs Help Sheet - Design and Technology KS3 & KS4

i created this help sheet to support my year 10 students with their ‘mini NEA’ but realised that it can work further down the school too. It has lots of different ideas as to what sort of annotations students should be writing about their designs, i have separated them into 2 sections - the non-negotiables and the get higher marks. I have found it has worked really well with getting my lower targeted students into those top brackets. (I have also added hints and tips to support any tricky wording) This has both the original PowerPoint document and a PDF as i like to use specific fonts, which unless you have them downloaded will not work on your computer, so feel free to fiddle with it.

Prototyping Reflection Sheet - Design and Technology

(0)
This is a reflection sheet for a prototyping task, I have used it for years 8, 9 and 10. The idea is that students have the images of their prototype stuck to the sheet and then critically reflect on the successes and failures, what improvements can be made/ any adaptations etc. There is a hints and tips section for any students who may struggle with writing the content.

I have created an A4 activity sheet for cover lessons in technology, there are 5 different problem solving task meaning that this can be used multiple times with the same group. It is also quite versatile and can be used across different year groups.
Cover Activity Sheet-Food and Nutrition

Cover Activity Sheet-Food and Nutrition

(1)
During my training I created a few resources that would help out cover teachers and teachers themselves, as it can be used 5 times and cover staff only have to monitor behaviour. The resource is design to get students thinking outside the box and problem solving. It covers a lot of different topics and can be used for a range of ages. i have a PDF file and a PPT incase you wanted to edit it a bit.

Designing Exemplars - Supporting Design creation and annotation

(0)
I did these light/ lamp designs in a quick attempt to help my students with their designing, both how they present their work, thinking about angles and alterations. I have also annotated one of the ideas with aspects that would support students with their GCSE NEA. My Students have found it really useful as just a resource to get hits and tips from when they are typing up their coursework, as well as thinking about how they design. The pack has 4 original design sheets with a singular theme but variations of, and 1 annotated design sheet.
Materials Worksheets (Woods & Metals) - Design and Technology

Materials Worksheets (Woods & Metals) - Design and Technology

(0)
There are 3 Metals and 3 woods. Metals; Copper Steel Aluminium Woods; Hard Wood (oak) Soft Wood (pine) Manufactured Board (MDF) They have a started where students have to look into the uses of the different materials and then get student to explain a process relevant to the material, finally they are to complete a task asking them to explain and justify the materials different uses in specific products. I have found them great for homework, as some the kids have spent a long time drawing images for the different process section. But it could be a great revision task using textbooks as support, or an accompanying Powerpoint that you could go through as a class.

Deliberate Practise - Design and Technology Key Words

(0)
This series of 6 Deliberate practise sheets, work through the main key words of the GCSE AQA Design and Technology course. I have found deliberate practise a great revision tool with my students, it gets them thinking about the term they are learning about, in different ways, to try and cement it into their memories.
