Mini Fun project making Christmas decorations for home.Project – Charity Money Box ProjectRecap on health and safety within DT. Recap on the workshop skills, tools and equipment used in project 1.Introduce challenge. Pupils are to investigate different charities and decide which one they wish to support.They will then design and make an interactive money box to help raise money for their chosen charity. Staff will be asked to pick one and place it “somewhere”. After 5 weeks they will be picked up and whichever collects the most will be the winner.Research skills will be developed. Pupils will be required to justify which charity they will support. It may be something meaningful to them. Design skills will be developed. Pupils will be required to design the backboard of their money box (the focal point). They need to pick an image that will represent their chosen charity but also draw attention.Pupils will be introduced to plastics as a material for manufacture – where they are sourced from and the different types. Look at everyday products.Pupils will be introduced to electronics and simple circuitry such as LED’s, Flashing LED’s, Batteries and Switches.Pupils will learn how to solder and create simple LED circuits. Pupils will learn how to construct parts using plastics.Pupils will learn how to use CAD (2D Design) to design the backboard of their money box. They will then use the laser cutter to cut this shape out. They will learn how to use the laminator to make a high quality graphic for the back board.Pupils will use assembly techniques such as screws, nuts and bolts, plastic glues to assemble all parts of the casing.Pupils will evaluate their money boxes by presenting to staff their chosen charity.Project - USB Kit & CAD/CAMStructure ChallengesPupils will develop their CAD skills through the design and manufacture of a USB casing.Pupils will develop a template on 2D Design that they can use to save all work to and improve presentation.They will learn how to use basic drawing commands such as shape, trim, dimension, grid lock etc.They will draw a teacher led basic design for the USB casing. We will then cut it out on the laser cutter. In pairs they will assemble them to investigate how they go together.Pupils will investigate different themes for their USB casing. Sport, gaming, fashion & different cultures are themes they can explore. Pupils will plan how they are going to incorporate their chosen theme into their basic design. It could be an image they use or they may change the shape.Pupils will use more advanced tools on 2D Design to edit the basic designs to create their own.Pupils will export their design to the laser cutter and cut out their design.Pupils will use Tensol cement to assemble the parts. Emphasis on safety and accuracy.Pupils will evaluate their pen drives by testing them on a computer and getting peer feedback on their designs.At the end of term pupils will take part in a series of challenges related to structures.This will involve pupils investigating famous structures such as cranes, buildings, pylons, statues and bridges. They will recognise the basic forces acting on a structure and the shapes used in structures to make them strong.They will then work in teams to develop their communication and teamwork skills to make a structure that will be tested till destruction.They will also take part in balloon challenges.8Project – Pencil CaseRe-cap on how Design Technology lessons work & the skills and knowledge developed in year 7.Ice breakers – getting to know students.

Pupils will then generate a set of criteria of what makes a successful pencil case. This will be used to help pupils evaluate their project.Introduce a range of new methods for joining wood. Mitre joint, Lap joint, groove joint. Pupils to use graphical techniques to draw these.Demo on producing wooden joints. Pupils then complete practical tasks to practise these.Pupils produce the casing for the base of their pencil case. They understand the need to work accurately when measuring and marking materials.Pupils will investigate an appropriate design theme for their pencil case and will use the Laser Cutter to print this onto the lid before assesmbly.Cad/Cam. Use of 2D Design to produce a drawing of their chosen design and the laser cutter to produce it.Finishing Techniques on wood. Pupils will understand the need to finish wood and will use a coloured wood stain to give their pencil case aesthetic appeal.Pupils will evaluate their design and manufacturing skills against set criteria. They will judge their work against the set criteria generated at the start of the project.Project Vibro Bug - CAD/CAM The project is aimed at developing pupil knowledge of electronic circuitry and the use of CAD. Pupils to solder pre-printed circuit boards with components. H&S when soldering. Demonstration of circuit working. Pupils learn about actuators, motors and PCB Manufacture.Fault finding on PCB’s. Pupils are to look for common faults on their PCB’s such as dry joints, too much/little solder. Pupils peer assess each other’s soldering skills.Pupils will be shown a working prototype of the vibro – bug. They will evaluate what parts they could develop & change. They will make a list of these amendments. It is expected that students might develop the head or change the shape of the legs.Pupils use 2D Design to amend the parts they want to redesign. Use copy, paste, edit, trim, line type etc to make updates.Pupils check all amendments then use the laser cutter to cut out parts. Use of nuts and bolts to accurately assemble the vibro bug. Pupils need to ensure all parts are placed in the correct position and the electronic components are fully functioning.Pupils test the bugs to ensure they are working.Project – Helicopter. An introduction to mechanisms.Through the manufacture of a helicopter pupils will discover the how mechanical products are driven and the mechanisms behind these.Introduction to engines and motors What are they?
