Night lights (links to Literacy) YR3, 7-9 years First published 2010 In this unit of work children design a battery-powered night light which incorporates a fully working circuit plus a choice of switch. The children create a night light based upon their own design, incorporating both their practical skills and creative flair, whilst demonstrating and challenging their technological ability, linked to the science theme of electricity. The project links with literacy work focusing on instructional texts, and also available for download are a Creative Curriculum planning poster and an...
Moving pictures, Year 1 Age 5-6 years Fully updated 2021 Moving pictures are popular with children and by making simple sliders and levers children will gain an understanding of the mechanisms that make things move. This encourages children to recognise and learn about different types of movement through investigating mechanisms in everyday objects and designing and making a moving model to illustrate a story or as a card or display. Children develop their designing skills through trying out ideas with materials to make a mock up...

Sustainability Series - GoneShells: the potato-based juice bottle that disappears naturally, A real-world case study for D&T lessons Tomorrow Machine, a Swedish design studio, has developed GoneShells, a juice bottle made entirely from potato that decomposes like fruit peel. Unlike most biodegradable packaging, it doesn’t require industrial composting. It can be eaten, home-composted or even dissolved under running water, offering a striking example of how design can respond to environmental challenges. For design and technology teachers, GoneShells provides a tangible, inspiring example to bring sustainability into the classroom. It demonstrates...

From ironing boards to classroom innovation: celebrating Sarah Boone this Black History Month, This Black History Month, we turn our attention to Sarah Boone, a trailblazing inventor whose insight still resonates in design & technology classrooms today. In 1892, Boone was granted US Patent for an improved ironing board. She recognised that the existing bulky, flat boards were ill suited to pressing sleeves and fitted garments. Her design featured a narrow, curved board that corresponded to the inside and outside seams of sleeves, plus a movable support to flip the board for pressing...
Free KS3 Resources, ‘Inspired by Industry’ is a set of design contexts to address the ever-changing needs of the Design and Technology curriculum. Rather than take a ‘project-driven approach to designing and making, they each start with a real-world design context provided by an industry partner of the Design & Technology Association. The contexts are authentic to the companies providing them with opportunities for teachers to use these with students. All follow a common design-thinking approach shown below. The contexts are editable and are...
