Plastics and their properties (one off lesson or cover work)

(0)
Introduction to plastics What are they why we use them What are their properties Design a reuseable plastic product kept it simple for year 7’s being taught by a non specialist. Avoided all the plastic term names like polyethylene etc and tried to make it engaging. You could add plastic names to stretch higher ability pupils Useful for that quick lesson you just don’t have the time to create

Interactive fun powerpoint game based on classic childrens games

(0)
Here is one of the powerpoints I made for our house competitions. Players can select from one of the classic children’s games and gain points by playing the game. The powerpoint is fully automated and interactive, There are various outcomes so if they do it once they could do it again for a different outcome. You can add slides and change the transition/links if you desire to make it easier or hard. Interactive games Operation Buckaroo Pop up Pirate Jenga Kerplunk Guess Who and a guess the board game quiz thrown in! This took a couple of hours to create so if you use it and find it useful please review. Thanks
Focus on Designer Design task

Focus on Designer Design task

(1)
This lesson follows on from the revision of a designer lesson in my resources. The reasonong behind the lesson is to reiterate the work of the designer but to also focus on some sketching skills and design thinking. There are 3 tasks. 1 Practicing sketching - Straight lines, Curves, Ellipses, Perspective, Coverging lines 2. Practicing shading and contering (if you are not great at product design then I suggest you use this video from you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-UqGtsjKiU ) 3. Design a clock using sketching skills in the style of Phillipe Stark There are some visual images that you can use for inspiration as well. Not my greatest resource but could come in handy
Product Design / Engineering WJEC Core Knowledge Mock Exam with answers 2023

Product Design / Engineering WJEC Core Knowledge Mock Exam with answers 2023

(1)
I have compiled a practice exam with answers to aid students in preparing for the WJEC product design and engineering exam. The questions are centered on the fundamental principles and concepts specified in the curriculum. The exam includes questions from the SAMs and previous papers, and I have created an editable document that can be printed and distributed to students. Providing past papers and mock exams can help students to familiarize themselves with the format and style of the exam, as well as identify areas where they may need further study or practice. Encouraging students to practice with past papers and mock exams can also help to build their confidence and reduce anxiety around the exam.
