This is a project that I teach to year 8 (KS3) students (12year olds) it aims to give an insight into what GCSE Engineering (KS4) would involve. This is important as there are many other subjects they can choose within Design and Technology and we want the students to pick the one that’s right for them
Learning objective of the project.
By designing and making a phone holder KS3 students will be introduced to Engineering tools and machinery. Students will apply knowledge and understanding to work independently with equipment such as the metal lathe, pillar drill, measuring & marking tools, and how add a surface finish to steel. By the end of the project students should be able to assess and conclude if they would like to continue their studies of Engineering to GCSE level.
Please see the attached files for work booklets, work sheets and end of module test
If you have any questions please add them to the comments section at the end.....Jonny :)

Signing UpStep 1: Designing
Resources; Inspiration images / inspiration page / colour pencils
The students can use a selection of sources for inspiration e.g. flowers, architecture, nature, patterns, coral reef, etc... Using the design inspiration page, they start by sticking in the chosen image then focusing on part of it, then sketch the basic lines that make up that image. By using the phrase “Rearrange, Repeat, Rotate” create a design idea as per the example shown then repeat the process to create a range of ideas.
