Y8 Design & Technology

Key Stage 3

Year 8

Packaging pop-outs

In this lesson, we will use specifications to design products that are innovative, functional and appealing.

Designing for others

In this lesson, we will redesign a product using the influence of other products. We are going to think about form, function and style to drive the design.

Design influence in our design ideas

In this lesson, we will learn about how to really quickly show our ideas. We are going to design and model many ideas using different techniques.

Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate.

Sketching and modelling out your design ideas

In this lesson, we will model out products to full scale. We are going to learn different techniques which we can use when modelling out our own ideas.

Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate.

Modelling skills used in idea generation

In this lesson, we will look at range of tools, equipment and machinery that can be used to create high quality models. We will use these processes to help develop your own ideas.

Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate.

Production processes used in prototyping of design ideas

Working from a specification we are going to design and model a quality product. We will also look at some processes for how we might make the product in real life.

Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate.
