A revision clock is a innovative method of getting pupils to split their time up in a lesson or at home when revising and to break larger topics down into manageable chunks. Pupils have a limited time to write down facts about a given topic. In this case the hour is split into the four sections of PESTLE. Pupils would start at Political and would have 10 minutes to fill that section before moving on. The total time can of course be adapted to suit a shorter or longer lesson. This resource can be used to revise PESTLE or can be used to perform a quick yet effective product market analysis. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson. PESTLE is useful product market analysis tool can be used for a variety of technology based subjects including Design Technology & Engineering. Is is useful at all Key Stages. There are two file types available and can be easily edited to ensure that it is suitable for your subject/specification.

This is a quick and effective resource for creating a revision guide for low carbon steel stress strain curves and associated key words and phrases. Simply print on to A3 (double sided) and cut along the lines between each physical property. Fold the tabs over so they cover the boxes. Pupils are give an amount of time (I suggest five minutes per box) to write a definition and key information about each key phrase. There is also room on the back for pupils to draw an example of a stress-strain curve and label it. In an hour pupils will have a completed revision guide. Pupils can then cover up the definitions and test themselves, before checking to see if they were correct.

This work booklet allow pupils to evidence practical work for unit two of the WJEC Vocational Award in Engineering. This has been adapted from the exemplar material provided on the WJEC website. Unit Two requires pupils to produce an engineering product (such as a lamp) from drawings produced by the centre. If you have access to computers the template can be easily edited in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat or Powerpoint. If you don’t have computers you can always edit and then print in A3. Centres should adapt this booklet to suit their own assignments.

This is a set of two mock exams and mark schemes that are designed to test pupils knowledge after the teaching of Unit One. The mocks cover criteria from PO1 - PO5. The mocks have been built on past papers and mark allocations from AQA. The majority of the questions are different to the past papers available form AQA. They could be used as end of topic assessments, end of term assessment or as a resource for exam style questions. They have been designed to look professional and as similar to the real exam as possible to get pupils used to seeing the exam. The documents were created on Word for Mac so the format may need tweaking if opened on a PC, however the PDF files are also available. These mocks & mark schemes will save you hours of planning!
