These resources are printed, laminated and placed in holders on pupil's desks.

A series of six lessons where pupils learn about the theory of flight and use this to make design decisions. Pupils model using set materials and test, then re-design based on their findings. (Iterative Design Task)

Ideal for Level 2 and Level 3 Engineering courses where pupils need to know how to convert between isometric projection and orthographic projection.

Powerpoints and videos for every lesson - ideal for non-specialists This SoW has been tweaked a lot over the last few years. It offers a great introduction to our subject in Year 7 with a focus on technical skills rather than creativity. Theory: \ - Timbers \ - Electricity generation \ - Basic electronics \ - Isometric drawing \ - Basic electronics \ - Evaluation \ - Basic programming Practical skills: \ - Measuring \ - Marking out \ - Using templates \ - Cutting \ - Drilling \ - Joints (Dowel and Dovetail) [Bridle as adjustable] \ - Soldering \ - Staining \ - Assembly \ - Programming LED Strip and USB Cable from startdesigning.co.uk (cut into strips of 8 LEDs) Opal acrylic from Hindleys Each pupil receives 500mm of 2x1" PAR softwood M6x50 bolt and wingnut Extended writing evaluation at end, review week used to improve any written work and present their work orally.

Pupils are asked to design one of a range of products to help victims of floods in a developing country. Lesson 1 begins with a silent reflection to set the scene, they then work on design ideas and develop them. In Lesson 2 they create a model of their idea and present it to the class. Focus on SMSC and oracy.

A 5/6 week project that investigates different aspects of rocket design, each lesson aims to address a different aspect including fin design, aerodynamics and mass. A water rocket launcher is used in the school playground. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aquapod-Bottle-Launcher-Fires-Bottles/dp/B005KSHKNW

Set of Engineering drawings for a lamp, inspired by WJEC exemplar materials, also includes an exploded animation and a progress checklist. Skills: - Lathe (upright bars and thumb screws) - 2D/3D CAD - Laser Cutting - Tapping - Marking out - Drilling - Bending - Filing - Joining with solvent cement - Assembly - Soldering Contains 12 LED array from htttp://www.startdesigning.co.uk

A two-week design only project to study smart and modern materials with a focus on sketching, rendering and annotation. This resource contains: 2x PowerPoints of whole lesson. 2x Resource packs 1x Writing Frame for Lesson 1 Lesson 1: (Tip, keep the design a secret until the end i.e. they don't know why they are learning about smart and modern materials) Pupils rotate around tables in a carousel in order to learn about smart and modern materials. They begin to think about a sports glove design based around a very simple specification that they develop. Lesson 2: Pupils develop their initial design whilst learning about annotation and rendering. They focus deeply on material selection and their justifications for their choices.

6 week project. Pupils design, make and evaluate two music festival tickets with associated packaging as part of a graphics project.

Pupils explore the idea of form and how a product is fit for its purpose.

A passive amplifier product design project designed for Y8. Students are given three identical pieces of softwood that they sandwich together, the centre piece is cut specifically for their mobile phone to slot into, the front and centre are then bored using a Forstner bit for the sound to amplify, then slots cut to join the bores to the mobile phone speakers. Pupils conduct primary research on a selection of pre-made amplifiers, come up with initial ideas, use a Pugh Matrix to select an idea, develop that idea and then manufacture.

Cushion that takes inspiration from a country of choice. Students produce four squares using applique, tie-dye, batik and embroidery to create a commercial cushion that could be sold in a shop to promote that country. Squares are sewn together to create large cushion.

Project focussing on hand sewing skills using recycled materials. Designed for one double lesson per week (100 mins), lasts nine weeks. Students design and make for one of three customers: Baby Girl, Blind Girl or a Four-year-old Boy.

Lesson 1: Lettering Lesson 2: Applying knowledge to iPhone Focus: Isometric drawing and rendering. Lots of AfL included.
