Summary - Out now

Developing sketching, drawing and computer modelling skills using CAD software.

This hands-on unit follows a series of easy-to-follow tasks that develop students’ drawing and modelling skills. The unit moves quickly from basic to advanced drawing and modelling activities offering an easily extendable variety of skills based lessons. Students are encouraged to work out which is the most appropriate format to use for specific tasks. The unit concludes in the development of CAD models using freely available software.

Access to a computer suite will be required for the final challenge in SketchUp.

A support tutorial is included for students to use the new online version of SketchUp at home.

  • Detailed lesson plans
  • Learning objectives and outcomes
  • Statement of which of the Government Guidelines are covered in the unit
  • Worksheets and activities

What people say...

“
”

We recently used some of the free resources in the sections we aim to purchase from you with our pupils and the feedback was very positive indeed. The information was pitched perfectly to our pupils, they enjoyed the content and the pace at which it can be delivered was spot on. 

Andrew White. Head of Design Technology, Monmouth School for Boys

Our pupils really enjoy the range of relevant topics, as well as the mixture of activities in each lesson. Needless to say, but we shan’t look anywhere else when it comes to resourcing the teaching of our future KS5 courses.
