“New” specification teaching guide. This resources gives you a page by page walk through of the coursework element of A Level D&T, all that needs adding is your own submission deadline dates. This resource is Product Design focused, but can be adjusted to suit alternative subjects. Created following the EDUQAS exam board guideline, but can be refined to suit any other exam board.

A mini design and make project which introduces students to the required content for assessment for both GCSE and A Level Design Technology. The students are required to manufacture a holder for a boiled egg, using a small amount of given dissimilar materials. They are to produce a mini portfolio of design work alongside the 3D outcome. Pack consists of the unit of work, from design brief to evaluation, evaluation help sheet, as well as a summative assessment sheet for the teacher, which allows you to assess your students on the quality of the portfolio, design work and 3D outcome, as well as offering them the chance to feedback to you what they enjoyed/disliked about the project – an OFSTED favourite.

Key revision information including research tasks, relevant to each of the following areas: 1. Materials 2. Design Considerations 3. Consumer Rights and Legislation 4. Social, Moral , Environmental and Legal 5. Health and Safety 6. Manufacturing Processes Good for exam prep lessons, cover work or home learning.

This resource pack consists of 24 weeks (2 terms) worth of mock exam questions, structured around the specification content of EDUQAS A Level Product Design, as well as model answers in the PowerPoints, written using the mark schemes and examiners reports. The questions can be given as standalone homework or used as extension tasks. The questions are mixed, (high and low mark questions), and gathered from past papers. I would recommend you give the students one question a week to complete for homework and then review it as group using these PowerPoints. Can also be used to cover the specification content from other A Level exam boards, as the content required is very similar.

This booklet breaks down each page of the NEA requirements in detail via a Product Design route, as well as offering a resource list of recommended literature, and sketchbook checklist to ensure students complete all work required for assessment. This booklet has been constructed around the EDUQAS A Level Design Technology specification, although it can be easily adjusted to suit any exam board. This resource is extremely helpful in allowing students to see exactly what content is required in each page of their NEA.

An OFSTED graded Outstanding lesson for introducing students to the design, make and evaluate requirements of design technology. Ideal for Key Stage 3,4 and 5 including students with no previous hard technology experience. The main focus of the lesson is to work as part of a small team to creatively problem solve, by creating a cardboard chair with limited equipment and resources. The chair must be freestanding, and support the weight of a team member. All Personal Learning Thinking Skills and Functional Skills are developed throughout this lesson and are detailed in the lesson plan. Resource is fully differentiated including a help sheet and extension task. Assessment for Learning is fully detailed, as is a risk assessment and resource requirement list.

Introduces students to the importance of measurements for use. It also facilitates discussion into ergonomically designed products. Can be used alongside the Ergonomics & Anthropometrics worksheet.

A quick, 10 minute starter activity which allows students to work out anthropometric averages. Encourages the use of correct terminolgy and functional numeracy. PowerPoint can used as a stand-alone resource if required.
