A resource used a ‘sorter’ starter activity for a range of different engineering courses at both level three and level two. (Unit 5 Engineering Materials BTEC Level Two, Unit 3 WJEC Engineering, Unit 1 Materials, Science & Technology AQA Design Engineering Tech-Level etc). Pupils have to use the cards to create the acronyms of common thermoplastics, this can be easily extended by asking them to think of the full name of each plastic.
Can be easily adapted to to ensure all thermoplastics in your specification are covered.
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 eight sections of ACCESS FM. Pupils would start at Aesthetics and would have 7.5 minutes to fill that section before moving on. This resource can be used to revise ACCESS FM or can be used to perform a quick yet effective product analysis. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson.
ACCESS FM is useful product 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.
A mind map is a creative way of visually organising information. Originally created by Tony Buzan this is a widely used method that users to explore a single topic or idea. Check out https://imindmap.com/how-to-mind-map/ to see how to mind map correctly.
This mind map provides a starting point for pupils to explore ACCESSFM. It could also be used to perform a product analysis on an existing product, by adding information to each key branch.
There are five key steps to creating a successful mind map:
Start with a central image (you can replace the text on this document)
Add branches to your map (these should be curved and start thick and end thin)
Add key words (one key word per branch)
Colour code branches (Easy to organise and visually appealing)
Include images (1 picture is worth a thousand words)
Two file types are included that can be easily edited to suit your lesson.
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 seven sections of SCAMPER. Pupils would start at Substitute and would have 8.5 minutes to fill that section before moving on. This resource can be used to teach or revise SCAMPER or can be used to perform a quick yet effective idea generation task. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson.
SCAMPER is technique that can be used to help stem creative idea generation and could also be used as a product analysis tool. This could be easily adapted for use with any DT/Engineering KS4/KS5 course.
There are two file types available and can be easily edited to ensure that it is suitable for your subject/specification.
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 six thinking hats. Pupils would start at the first hat and would have 10 minutes to fill that section before moving on. This resource can be used to revise the six thinking hats or can be used to perform a quick yet effective product analysis. Use this tool to help ensure you have a quick paced lesson.
The Thinking Hats are a useful product 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.
