The Transatlantic Slave Trade KS3 This lesson examines the different punishments that the slaves endured on the plantations and their resistance and survival strategies. Different sources are analysed showing the positive and negative aspects of plantation life as students have to extract fact from fiction. Students then look at the different forms of resistance from passive to active resistance and decide the best and most effective form of resistance, justifying their reasons. There is also a chance of being more interactive as students are selected to take on some forms resistance which the class have to find out and decide. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning. The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.

This is an electronically editable research task consisting of 12 pages. Learners to find out the working properties, physical properties, applications and other information as appropriate and record their findings in the tables. It is based on the AQA GCSE Design & Technology specification and includes the following materials: Manufactured boards Softwoods Hardwoods Thermoplastics Thermosetting plastics Non-ferrous metals Ferrous metals Alloys A PDF version is also provided to allow the resource to be printed where learners have limited ICT access.

Step by step guide through Criterion 5 of the major project for new IGCSE Cambridge Resistant Materials syllabus (2018-2022). Broken down into individual tasks including: Cutting List, Production Plan, and Orthographic Drawings Each task, has a starter task, accompanying worksheet, previous high attaining examples and success criteria broken down into sub sections of 3 bands to aid pupil understanding. Can be used as a presentation for teachers or simply given to pupils as a guide book. Tailored to Cambridge syllabus, but will work well with all GCSE Resistant Material courses.

This is a revision or crib sheet showing some tools and processes for wood, metal and plastic working.

A great revision lesson! Each learner is given an Bingo card with answers to questions. The teacher can then shuffle the question cards and pick a question to read to the group. Learners then search their cards for the answer. The first learner to achieve a completed line wins. Includes 20 Bingo cards, teachers question cards with answers and a PowerPoint with questions to show to the class, slides can be shuffled to create a random order.

Each learner in the group is given a card. Each card has one question and one answer on it. The first learner reads their question and the group discuss the answer. The person who has the correct answer on their card puts their answer down next to the question and asks their question to the group. This continues until all questions have been asked and the answer and dominoes are linked together. A great revision tool and whole class activity. Designed for Edexcel specification but can also works for any Resistant Materials course.

Students work in teams. Students start by rolling the dice and moving the counter to select the colour, the colour corresponds to a card. Learners select the coloured card and draw for the group the tool, process etc. on the card. This can be done as a group on the whiteboard or in teams/pairs on paper. The student who guesses the tool, process being drawn wins the point for their team. A great activity for a fun lesson starter and for revision.

Students work in two teams. Students start by rolling the dice and moving the counter to select the colour, the colour corresponds to a card. Learners select the coloured card and describe to the group the tool, process etc. on the card. The learner who guesses the tool, process being described wins the point for their team. A great whole class activity.

Can be used as a whole class activity or small groups or pairs. One player spins the wheel and it will land on a colour. They then collect the coloured card matching the colour on the wheel and read the question to the other player. The person with the card then attempts to answer the question on the card to gain the marks for the question. If they are unable to do so this can be passed to other player to answer. A great revision tool which is engaging and fun for the group. Idea for the Edexcel syllabus but will apply for any resistant materials group.

A simple worksheet that could be used as cover work or part of a lesson.

A few games to help revise resistant materials. Also a random name generator for two teams to compete against each other.
