AO1-A - IDENTIFY INVESTIGATE & OUTLINE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES
For the 1-9 GCSE. As this is still a new GCSE there is going to be confusion amongst both teachers and pupils. AQA have not provided any great depth of information for anyone, and so I think this will be the best way to go forward.
Yes it is a workbook and AQA have said that we should not use them. This just gives the pupils and us a foundation structure.
I use it with Yr10 to make them aware of the new assessment criteria. I have found that lower ability candidates use this in Yr11 as a framework to guide them and help them to collect the right information, and that it can then be used a little like a scrapbook to ‘cut and paste’ their work into another folder.
This is a 4 page document for the AO2- E and AO3 sections, and worksheets guide pupils to achieve the AQA assessment criteria.

GCSE Design and Technology 9-1
Originally for Yr11 AQA examination 2018 but still a valuable project for Yr10 pupils. The theme is remote control storage and I have produced this to show pupils a range of possible design ideas that they can use in the examination. Also information to help them to understand how each design would be made, and a simple evaluation of each design. These comments are added as note within the powerpoint and teachers can choose how to use them, depending on the groups they teach.
