Make the World... More sustainable, Sustainable design is fast becoming a matter of global corporate citizenship. More consumers are choosing products based on their environmental impact, forcing manufacturers to reconsider how they develop and market products. Finding solutions to the problems people have in real world situations, that are designed with sustainability in mind, are key to students' development of ideas when preparing for their GCSEs and A Levels. This set of free resources, sponsored by the ERA Foundation, includes five short videos and a...
Units not projects - A learning-first approach to D&T, This 'Units not projects' course is aimed at teachers and subject leaders of design & technology to implement an effective curriculum structure that focuses on the learning needs of the students. This learning led approach can be carefully structured through strategically designed units of work rather than squeezing subject theory around a design and make project.The structure of this course has been planned with reflective and thought-provoking questions. We do advise that you complete this course at your own pace with breaks between...
STEM into Action - LED lamp, LED LampSTEM into Action with D&TAges 11-14First published 2016Modern high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) can be extremely powerful. The beam from any LED will spread out over a distance but it can be modified to create more focused patterns using a lenses, mirrors and diffusers.This resource contains a PowerPoint presentation and Word document that helps students build, test and improve their own LED lamp. The resource covers the science and mathematics behind reflecting and directing light as well as different types of lighting...
Inspired by Industry Salsus Design, Inspired by Industry: Salsus DesignThe context supports mid to late Key Stage 3, covering technical knowledge such as CAD, CAM, rapid prototyping, modelling, electronics, manufacturing processes, and links to maths and science. It includes focused tasks, investigative activities and opportunities to learn how products move from prototype to commercial manufacture.Students explore user-centred design, ergonomics, anthropometrics and inclusive design principles while developing concepts for accessible digital music controllers or interfaces. Outcomes may be conceptual or functional, using both physical modelling (foam, card, polymorph, 3D printing)
D&T Primary Clickable Progression Framework KS1 & 2, Design and Technology ‘Clickable’ Progression Framework – KS1 and 2Years 5-11First published 2016The D&T Progression Framework was developed by the Design and Technology Association in collaboration with the National Curriculum Expert Group for D&T and is available as a pdf version for KS1 and 2 and for KS1, 2 and 3. This ‘clickable’ version of the framework for D&T at Key Stages 1 and 2 links to the Association’s popular Projects on a Page scheme of work....
Fancy a bag?, Age 5-7 yearsFirst published 2012 In this project children design and make a bag of their own creation for a specific user and purpose. The resources are designed to unlock children’s innovative thinking. They provide a context that leads children to a wide range of different design responses increasing their ownership of the design process. Children use their knowledge of materials and their properties (Science objectives) and investigate textiles (Art objectives) to learn how textile products can be designed and made using...
Inspired by Industry Washing Machine Project, Inspired by Industry: Washing Machine Project This context has been put together with the support of the Washing Machine Project to highlight the plight of many people in the world, predicted to be 60% of the population, who still have to wash laundry by hand, often in streams and rivers or unsanitary conditions. While there is a solution offered by the company (in the form of a manual washing machine), the context asks students to consider how aspects of...
Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies, Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies Year 5-6Age 9-11 First published 2011 This project is adapted from unit 5D and focuses on developing children’s skills, knowledge and understanding of food, building on previous learning in which children prepared food products using simple processes. Children learn how to adapt a basic recipe to develop a product with specified criteria. Investigation of existing products, including fair trade, will inform design ideas. There are opportunities to apply maths by measuring accurately, converting measures and applying ratio and...
Are you Teaching Food in Primary D&T, Are you Teaching Food in Primary D&T?Age 3-11 years This resource contains two fully illustrated PowerPoint presentations (teacher and pupil versions) and a practical food progression chart covering teaching practical food skills. The presentations can be used as an audio visual resource or printed out to form work cards for the individual stages of food preparation. The teachers’ version explains the skills and provides teaching tips for those working with children aged 7-11 years and explains how to undertake teaching...
Inspired by Industry Lisi Aerospace, Inspired by Industry: Lisi Aerospace This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore how they can reduce the weight of an object whilst maintaining its strength. Whilst the company (Lisi) focuses on the creation of fixings for the aerospace industry, the same intent could be adapted for a range of applications where a lightweight but strong solution is required. The outcomes are prototypes but will require testing in terms of their function and performance as...
