Power point:
The high end, attractive and informative power point has detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter, main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included.
A lesson plan is also included (MS Publisher file).
Learning Outcomes:
In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of:
• STEM: Cross-curricular to Mathematics
• Commercial packaging, its uses and how it is designed
• What are development nets and what are their characteristics?
• What is a ‘point of display’?
• How to transform a 2-d shape into a 3-d shape
• How to develop and design the graphics of their packaging, culminating in a graphic practical task to make a point of display.
• There will be lots of literacy in this lesson!
Worksheets:
The worksheets are differentiated into two categories:
• ‘LA’ worksheets having additional support in terms of the outcomes as well as sentence stems, word banks, etc.
• The second category of worksheet has differentiation in the form of more open ended tasks as well as ‘Super Challenges’.
Power point:

Learning Outcomes:
In ONE point perspective lesson (1b), students will gain an understanding of:
• Famous artists in history, such as Leonardo De Vinci and Hans Vermeer who used one point perspective drawing techniques
• What is one point perspective drawing?
• How to create realistic perspective drawings, with 3 challenges including: basic cubes, varied shapes, to complex city street views
• Literacy: Students will also learn a range of subject specific key words
I have added in an additional “Quality of line 1b” power point that could be used to build confidence for lower ability students. From this students will learn:
• Gain confidence in drawing freehand squares, rectangles and circles using guidelines, proportional measurement and outline.

This lesson focusses on drafting skills, including material rendering in 6 different textures, scrap views, cross sections and principles of legible and neat annotation. The source materials focus on a toothbrush, however this could relate to any product.
PowerPoint:
This lesson is driven by a high end, attractive and informative power point, which has detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter(‘To do’), main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included. The students really enjoyed this lesson and also it is relatively easy to conduct especially under the current circumstances.
Learning Outcomes:
Students will gain an understanding of how to do:
Scrap views
Sectional views
Rendered drawings
How to render 6 different textures
The importance of clear and easy read annotation
Links to NEA
Lesson plan:
A Lesson plan is also included as a MS Publisher file. This explains the: learning outcomes, starter, main and plenary activities as well as resources required and homework.
Work sheets:
These are mainly PPT files, but the final evaluation is MS Publisher, which is differentiated in the form of sentence starters.

GCSE/A level CAD Challenge Design your dream headphones!
This extremely comprehensive resource that covers at least 2-3 lessons is suitable for both GCSE and A level classes (whom I have tried and tested this with and they have fed back how much they enjoyed it!). The 1st idea to get them working independently to learn new design skills and specialist technical knowledge. The 2nd idea is to get them away from ‘design fixation’ which I have found a lot with the NEA’s.
This is the perfect resource for remote learning to get students enthused, confident and carrying on independently, with a high quality power point, with highly detailed guidance, examples and specialist technical knowledge, with relevant visuals and animations, YouTube tutorials and directed tasks. This is also suitable as cover work.
Learning outcomes: Students will gain an understanding of:
Secondary research techniques (mood board)
How to gain knowledge by watching a YouTube video (the link is only available through this purchase) and then go to creatively develop design ideas of headphones, using the CAD program, sketch up free
Detailed Specialist Technical subject knowledge with page numbers already cross-referenced and a detailed explanation of the process already included with strong emphasis on researching the correct machinery, materials and equipment, as well as what scale of production.
Extension tasks: Create a flowchart of headphone manufacture
Potential learning outcomes:
3-4 power point slides/ Length: 2 – 3 lessons (including student activity)
Please look at my other resources to find similarly highly detailed, high quality resources that are up to date for 2021 for both GCSE and A level design and technology and product design NEA’s and courses
I hope these help you and your students enjoy and learn as it did mine!
Please add a positive review/some stars if you found this useful as this really helps; THANK YOU!
