Summary

We are delighted to bring you a free teaching unit to inspire and engage students to follow a career in D&T.

The Design Museum

We have teamed up with the Design Museum to produce a series of six lessons that allow students to experience the freedom of a truly iterative approach to designing.
While reducing the rigid structure of a linear design approach, this unit adds enough scaffolding and idea-generating suggestions to enable innovation and inspiration
to flow freely. Students are encouraged to design and model in a way that suits them best, using strategies that work to avoid design fixation, resulting in inspiring outcomes.

What's included in the toolkit?

Toolkit

The currently available units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Design and Technology. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.

  • PowerPoint slides for each lesson
  • Detailed lesson plans
  • Learning objectives and outcomes
  • Statement of which of the Government Guidelines are covered in the unit
  • Worksheets and activities
  • End-of-unit Assessment material
  • Other material and links to online resources

What people say...

“
”

I have been pleased with the quality of the resources. Your excellent resources have been a great timesaver and have really helped with planning lessons especially for lessons being delivered by people who are not subject specialists.

Mr Dave Baron. Head of Computer Science, Treviglas Academy

I have put all the resources on to our new Moodle VLE and it's making my life so much easier. I used to spend so much time searching for suitable resources and trying to put schemes of work together - with PG Online I just use them "straight from the box" so to speak. All the resources are well designed and easy to follow for both teachers and students. Next year is going to be so much better!
