Design Technology Lighting Project
<p>This is a project i do with Year 9. It can be tailored to run from 12 weeks to 18 weeks (double lessons)</p>
<p>Outline: Students learn about different designers and design eras. They design a table lamp that is inspired by a chosen designers or design era.</p>
<p>Included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Scheme of work</li>
<li>Powerpoint presentation of lessons</li>
<li>Editable work book</li>
</ul>
Design Technology Robotics Project. Lesson Plans and Work booklet
<p>This is a great project i do with year 8. It brings together, traditional hand cutting, CAD/CAM, Electronics and Computer programming.</p>
<p>Brief: Students are to design and make a programmable robotic buggy.<br />
Outline: Students design a profile, prototype out of card board, then cut out of acrylic using a scroll/coping saw. Wheels are designed then cut out using the laser cutter. Circuit board is soldered together. Genie chip is programmed to bring the buggy to life.<br />
Recommended time frame is around 13/14 weeks (double lessons)</p>
<p>Included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lesson plans</li>
<li>Editable work book</li>
<li>Power Point presentation on robots and sensors</li>
</ul>
Behaviour Contract
Behavioural contract given to pupils and parents to help with any discipline issues
Climate Change power point
Power point slide on the effects of climate change, can be used for PHSE or assemblies

GCSE Design Technology Homeworks
<p>Included is a range of homeworks for GCSE DT. Tailored towards Edexcel Resistant Materials, but they can be edited to suit your need.</p>
<p>Homeworks cover:</p>
<ul>
<li>Multiple choice style questions</li>
<li>Evaluative</li>
<li>Design Ideas</li>
<li>Specification</li>
<li>Materials</li>
</ul>
Full Introduction to Electronics
<p>This is over 16 weeks of Electronics practical i do with Year 7.<br />
Included:</p>
<ul>
<li>PowerPoint Presentation on all lessons, with starter and tasks</li>
<li>Work booklet that coincides with the PP</li>
<li>End of unit test</li>
<li>Extension tasks</li>
</ul>
<p>It covers all the basics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Circuit Boards</li>
<li>Protoboards</li>
<li>Series/Parallel Circuits</li>
<li>Resistors</li>
<li>Diodes</li>
<li>L.E.D</li>
<li>L.D.R</li>
<li>Transistors</li>
<li>Capacitors</li>
<li>Soldering</li>
</ul>
Creative drawing task and Inspirations
<p>This is an activity i do with my students to get them thinking about wild ideas and not have to be perfect all the time.<br />
Each student will get 3 stacks of paper. Each stack has a noun, adjective and verb. (a list is provided in the power point, you can print and cut them out). They will read the descriptions and draw the first thing that come to their mind.</p>
<p>A lot of fun and can get loud!</p>
<p>The presentation continues to talk about inspirations and what the inspiration was for famous designs (another game).</p>
<p>Another drawing task which gets the students to morph two random items together.</p>
Full Scheme of Work, Workbook and Lesson PowerPoint for DT
<p>This is an Ergonomics project. I do it with year 7 but can be tweaked for all age groups. Can take from 8 weeks (double lessons) to 11 weeks. It can be stretched or decreased. Once the styrofoam model was created, students then 3d scanned and printed their prototypes. It is called the ergonomic mouse project, but i changed it to pointing device to stop design fixation of a traditional shape.<br />
Brief: Students need to design and create a navigation device for a computer/laptop.</p>
<p>Outline: They use plasticine to mould a shape, take picture and insert into their books. They must hand their prototypes to a range of students in order to gain feedback. feedback is recorded and then they move on to the next design.</p>
<p>Included is:</p>
<ul>
<li>A full scheme of work with learning objectives, lesson plans and differentiation.</li>
<li>Power Point presentation for lessons. PP include explanations for teachers and lesson objectives</li>
<li>An editable work booklet that students will use to answer questions, insert pictures and research.</li>
</ul>
<p>This streamlines very well with the new Spec, it covers:<br />
Ergonomics - Anthropometrics, Psychology and Physiology<br />
Prototyping<br />
Communication and feedback<br />
Cutting, filing, using different grades of sanding and finishing.<br />
CAD/CAM</p>
GCSE Revision - Smart/Modern Materials
<p>Based on GCSE Edexcel Design Technology 9 to 1.</p>
<p>This powerpoint will explain the differernt modern and smart materials through gif animations and tasks. I also did my best to have physical samples to pass around.<br />
Modern and Smart:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shape Memory Alloy</li>
<li>Nanomaterials</li>
<li>Photochromic</li>
<li>Reactive Glass</li>
<li>Piezoelectric</li>
<li>Temperature Responsive Polymers</li>
<li>Conductive Inks</li>
</ul>
<p>Composites:</p>
<ul>
<li>Concrete</li>
<li>Plywood</li>
<li>Carbon Fibre / Fibre Glass</li>
</ul>

Oscillation<br />
Linear<br />
Rotary<br />
Reciprocation</p>
<p>It then goes into levers, again explaining the different classes with gif animations and images, but it would help to also have things to hand, such as:<br />
