Edexcel Business - Product and Service Design

A new series of resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the Edexcel A Level Business specification. This resource specifically looks at topic 1.3.1. Product / Service Design and is split over two full lessons worth of material. It considers the issues of the design mix with the subtopics of function, aesthetics and cost, and it also looks at changes in the elements of the design mix to reflect social trends including resource depletion, designing for waste minimisation, re-use and recycling and finally ethical sourcing. The slides contain several activities with suggested answers including the Quick Fire Five and a 10 mark practice question for both lessons. The clear and well-presented nature of the slides are aimed at helping students to understand the topics with each topic analysed to provide a balanced assessment of the theory.
