AQA DT - Designing and Making Principles - Communication of design ideas

A very effective resource, comprising a PowerPoint that is fully aligned with AQA DT specification content, and an accompanying worksheet.

The worksheet included a reading comprehension task, key information summary, key vocabulary and questions with increasing levels of challenge, making it suitable for learners of all abilities.

The specification content covered is:

Develop, communicate, record and justify design ideas using a range of appropriate techniques such as:
-freehand sketching, isometric and perspective
-2D and 3D drawings
-system and schematic diagrams
-annotated drawings that explain detailed development or the conceptual stages of designing
-exploded diagrams to show constructional detail or assembly
-working drawings: 3rd angle orthographic, using conventions, dimensions and drawn to scale
-audio and visual recordings in support of aspects of designing: eg interviews with client or users
-mathematical modelling
-computer based tools
modelling: working directly with materials and components, eg card modelling, producing a toile when designing garments, constructing a circuit using breadboard

This highly effective resource can be used as a standalone lesson or as cover work.

Please look at the rest of my DT resources, you won’t be disappointed.
