This resource includes component information cards giving component information for the components used in the mono amplifier circuit. There is a student quiz booklet that can be used by students individually or in pairs. Students can use the information cards to find the answers to the questions in the quiz booklet. Also included is an answer reveal section for the booklet and a traffic light plenary quiz.

A comprehensive set of information cards giving details of a range of electronic output components that may be used by students. These cards can be used on screen or printed. Students can work independently to design their own systems with all of the information they need to select the correct components at their finger tips.

Turn your students into independent learners with these well presented, informative information cards. Packed with information about the Transistors, Darlington Pairs, 555 Monostable and Astable, 4017b Decade counters, 4026 Decade counters, Logic Gates, the NAND gate as all other gates, Operational Amplifiers - Inverting, Non-inverting and as Comparators, and Microcontrollers. I designed these information cards to be used by students who are developing system diagrams. Students often feel overwhelmed when it comes to designing systems because they are unsure which input, process and output components to choose and they are unsure what they all do. These cards provide the answers so students can easily assess whether the component will meet their needs. Obviously the students will learn much more about the individual components along the way! Buy this resource on its own or as part of a bundle including a starter on systems diagrams, and activity where students design systems in order to meet specific design briefs and a set of Input component information cards. Output component cards will be online soon.

These worksheets give students a number of hypothetical situations and they are asked to select suitable input, process and output components in order to produce the system. This activity not only teaches students about designing electronic systems using a system approach, but it also helps students to research different electronic components that they could use. This activity works well with my electronics information cards, also available from my shop.

Information cards for 19 different input components. Giving information about how the component works, circuit symbols, applications and advantages and disadvantages of each component. Very detailed information cards in language that is accessible to students. Great for GCSE students studying the new GCSE Design Technology specifications.

Lesson starter including a simple introduction to systems diagrams. 26 slides with component images and names. Students to use traffic light cards to indicate if they think the component is an Input, a Process or and Output component. This lesson works well as a stand alone starter, or alternatively use this along with my component cards lesson where students use the information provided to select appropriate components to complete various systems diagrams.

Full lesson with a wide range of activities around sustainability. This lesson looks at Carbon footprints, Product life cycles and finite / non finite resources. Students also explore the 6 R's. Full PowerPoint with instructions about use in the notes. Student worksheets to be printed. 15 pages of activities/ worksheets.

This extensive resource includes a guide to creating an E-Textiles portfolio using a sketchbook and a presentation folder. Examples of every page and a description of what goes on the page. This example is based on an E-Textiles project, however it could be adapted to be used as a guide for any Design Technology project. Each page gives a detailed description of the page requirements plus examples including analysis of each stage.

Homework booklet aimed at year 10 and 11 students studying GCSE Design & Technology. Range of tasks including:- 555 Astable and Monostable calculations Market Pull/ Technology Push Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy Thermoplastics and Thermosetting materials Resistor values Logic Programming with flow charts plus many more Complements the various Design Technology lessons in my shop.

This resource was created for year 6 summer school students. The file includes a 2D design file to cut the parts needed to make a balloon racer. I found that corrugated card worked better as it is light weight, although drying times are longer. I gave students the choice of using either card or plywood, or a combination of both. Great, fun activity for students. Principles of a design brief and specifications have also been included, along with some extension tasks to be completed while the glue dries.

My students really love this microcontroller project. The project utilises the Genie C08 Microcontroller. I give the students a pre-made project (they develop the flow chart to program the chip). This project includes an E-Portfolio template to guide students through the design and make activity. (Homework tasks are also included) There is a week by week guide to be used to set lesson objectives. Also included is a 2D design template, flowchart and PCB files. Students will learn how to program a microcontroller to respond to changes in an analogue signal. There is also an emphasis on analysis and evaluation with prompts referring to ACCESSFM.

This Latching alarm project is a great way to introduce students to the role of the thyristor. The students can follow the guide to design their own PCBs. My students use a key switch and magnetic proximity switch, they love the idea that if someone breaks into their room then they won't be able to turn the alarm off unless they have the key! My students make a vacuum formed case, there is a 2D design file included within the zipped file, you can use this as a starting point to make your mould, or you can just make your own. Included is an E-Portfolio template with great instructions showing students what they need to do. The weekly how 2 guide can be used to set lesson objectives. There is an emphasis on independent learning and analysis. Homework activities support learning.

Everything you need to make run an amplifier project. Aimed at year 8 the PCB is made in school (circuit wizard file in zipped file). We use and MDF frame and glue the front and back into place. Unlike the kitronik version, my version has a switch and an LED within the circuit. This project in a box includes a class booklet, homework booklet, printable guide showing students how to populate the circuit and a weekly presentation that you can use to help students through the various steps. Images are used to show students exactly what they need to do. My students love the freedom of following the guide themselves. Also included is an interactive lesson about the components used in the mono amplifier. The resource includes information cards, a quiz book and a plenary.

This project has everything you need to run a steady hand game project. Aimed at KS3 the class booklet introduces simple concepts such as resistance values and thyristor pin names. The booklet also covers designing, analysis of ideas and evaluating the final outcome. The homework booklet reinforces learning. There are also a range of extension tasks. You will find a week by week pictorial guide showing students what to do, there is also a pictorial circuit population guide that you can print off, I have them laminated so they can be reused time after time. Students really enjoy the freedom of being able to follow the guide themselves. I have included zipped 2D design files for the case and zipped PCB files compatible with circuit wizard that can be used to make your PCB's. My students love this project. I hope your do too.

Based upon the Eduqas Design Technology course, the attached file is intended to be used along side my E-Textiles project, but it could be adapted as required and used as a guide and support for other projects using a sketchbook. The Example sketch book includes Task analysis, Research and Design Ideas example pages, all based around the sketch book idea. The attached guide gives students step by step instructions about what should go on the page. Use this on it's own, or alongside the Sketchbook example and the Presentation Folder guide and Presentation Folder example. There is also a guide to creating a PCB using Circuit Wizard available as part of the bundle, plus a student Homework book to help the students to consolidate their learning.
