Inspired by Industry Elvie, Inspired by Industry: Elvie This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the needs of new mothers and to design and develop products to support them. This context can be explored through a range of materials. It provides good opportunities to explore fabrics through the design and manufacture of baby-changing/care accessories, covers for breast-feeding and more. There is also the opportunity of exploration of electronics and/or systems and...
Member only Tasks and Activities, Focused Tasks FTs are where students are taught specific technical knowledge, designing skills and making skills. This may be a quick whole-class-making activity, learning a new CAD programme, exploring polymers, or much more. AI Visuals - this Focused Task explores using AI to design cargo transport on scooters as well as traditional skills like drawing and modelling, helping students develop their own ideas. Investigative Evaluative Activities - Coming Soon IEAs are where students learn from a range of existing products...
STEM into Action - Spin Art, Spin ArtSTEM into Action with D&TAges 11-14First published 2016A spin art machine allows paint that is dropped on to paper to fly off, creating interesting patterns. The viscosity of the paint and the speed and positioning of the spinner are factors that can change how the patterns appear. This resource contains a PowerPoint presentation and Word document that covers the science and mathematics behind viscosity, centrifuges, centripetal and kinetic forces and how these and...
Primary Keywords, This resource includes an Excel document listing the key vocabulary for primary Design and Technology. It is organised into designing and evaluating, making and technical knowledge, cooking and nutrition, and tools and equipment as well as identifying words specific to KS1 and KS2. Alongside the Excel document there are a collection of key word mats created in PowerPoint that can be shown on the board, used in a display or downloaded, printed and laminated...
Celebrating International Women in Engineering Day, International Women in Engineering Day which takes place annually on the 23rd of June, is more than just a date on the calendar; it's a celebration of the achievements, contributions, and the potential of women in the engineering field. As we celebrate this significant day, let's take a moment to explore its rich history, acknowledge the progress made, and envision a future where women in engineering are not just recognised but are integral to the fabric of the...
Delivering D&T through various methods (no more chalk and talk), This E-Learning course 'Delivering D&T through various methods (no more chalk and talk)', aims to help secondary D&T teachers with various ways to deliver theoretical aspects of the subject in new and interesting ways. The methods described will also help to develop students' deeper understanding of concepts, helping their communication skills and allow you to step away from a 'lecture-style' approach to teaching.Course objectives: To provide help and guidance on how...
Let's Look at Products, Let’s Look at Products EYFSAges 3-5 years This resource focuses on children investigating and evaluating products. It includes three PowerPoint presentations with examples of cups, slippers and cutlery, but practitioners should use these as starting points and adapt the resource to include products that would engage their children. There are many ways in which the activities could be implemented: they could be used to develop communication and language skills and PSE development; perhaps linked to a topic such as Ourselves, Myself...
Inspired By Industry - KS3 real world contexts, Inspired by Industry has been produced with leading design and manufacturing companies to support all D&T teachers, enabling them to use with students at Key Stage 3. By working on real-life contexts and learning from industry experts, it allows teachers of D&T to potentially shift how they deliver elements of Key Stage 3 in a way that aligns with elements of Key Stage 4 and beyond, replicating how many organisations design, prototype and test. The additional curriculum support...
Pneumatic systems - Make a Mascot, Pneumatic systems - Make a Mascot Years 3/4Age 7-9 yearsFirst published 2012 In this project children use pneumatics to design and make a mascot suitable for an opening celebration of an event such as a school-based version of the Olympics. They research a range of countries represented at the event and develop ideas that reflect the diversity of each country’s identity. The children explore the nature of pneumatic systems and how these can be incorporated into a design...
Mechanisms with a message, Age 9-11 YearsFully updated 2020 In this project children learn to make a moving message operated by a cam mechanism. The choice of message depends upon the children identifying a user and purpose but it might be linked to other school learning or issues such as healthy eating or keeping the school tidy. They explore different types of movement through investigating mechanisms and learn to construct flat cam mechanisms with lever and slider followers. They learn how a simple cam can be used with a...
