Topic Area 1: Summary
For first teaching in September 2022
This pack covers Topic Area 1 of Unit R038.
The first lesson introduces a range of design strategies that different projects may adopt, before looking at how different market research techniques can be used to develop a design brief in lesson 2. Lesson 3 uses the ACCESS FM acronym to evaluate new and existing products. The next lesson begins to analyse a design brief with reference to sketching and modelling. In the final lesson of the unit, students are introduced to testing designs using physical and virtual modelling techniques. Each lesson may be spread over more than one school lesson, especially if time is spent in the lessons doing exercises and going over homework tasks.

These materials are excellent for teaching the AQA course and convenient for setting homework and allowing students access to the same reference materials they have in class.

The format and structure of material is logical and clear. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of Exam Tips which offer students important advice for the examination.
