Presentation document on design movements, there are 8 pages of different design movements that can be used in presentations or printed off for use in a classroom. There are also two activity pages that relate to the design movements featured.

3 different moodboards used to explain the difference between a collection of images and a well thought out moodboard that can influence the design process. Based on a passive speaker project but can be used to model how a moodboard can be more effective to the design process. Can also be used for differentiation purposes.

Presentation and resources that explain the theory of aerodynamics and streamlining. Presentation starts with a video on aerodynamics that students have a question sheet to fill out. There is a worksheet that has a differentiated version for students. This is used to show the knowledge they have gained and to help them explain the ideas of aerodynamics and streamlining. This will take about 30 minutes and can lead to some practical experiments using wind tunnels or fans and shapes to prove the theory.

Lesson that follows on from a previous lesson that introduces the ideas of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and builds on this with examples of the metals and the joining and treatment methods. Two activities, one is a card matching activity while the other is an information gathering activity which leads to group discussions about the learning. Starter and plenary on the presentation. See other resources for lessons that link to this one.

This is a resource that prints off 15 pages each with two commonly misspelt words used in Design and Technology. Fills a standard large display board.

This is a powerpoint for a STEM lesson about making a boat out of a piece of A4. This is a stand alone 1 hour lesson that can be used as a fun activity but also explains the design process, from initial ideas, research, developed ideas, modelling, testing and evaluating. All you need is a piece of card for each team, tape and some weights. 100g weights up to 1kg works well. (And some water).

A structures lesson based around making a structure to hold as much weight as possible. All you need is art straws, paper and some weights.

2 different resources that can be used for lessons that need to be covered last minute. A lesson based on plastics knowledge and a lesson to teach product analysis skills. Have used successfully for a few years, printed out and laminated and left in a draw for when a lesson needs last minute cover. Can be used by any specialism teacher and students can work in books or on paper. Based on a hierarchy system that differentiates the outcomes from a flash task, to a hulk task and finally an incredible task for high ability students.

3 powerpoints for a quick metal project on making a keyring from a piece of mild steel. Lots of pictures to explain and all the steps are laid out in each of the presentations. Includes starters and plenaries.

Help sheet which shows in pictures and explains in writing the stages of using the nutritional analyser on the Food A Fact Of Life Website. Great resource for students to refer to and encourage independent work. Great for cover lessons and less confident users of the website to quickly be able to pick up the analyser.

Starter or Plenary worksheet that highlights a number of products that have either good or bad points around Social, Moral and Environmental Issues. Excellent conversation starter for the topic and lays the foundations for the topic in the lesson.

Resistor Value worksheet. Variations of working out resistor values, including tolerances and kilo and mega ohms as well as working backwards from the values to the colours. Includes a table explaining the colours and their values, can be used as a homework or extension task or just to teach about values of resistors.

Help sheet with materials and their properties to aid students whilst they are designing and developing ideas.
