Uncover the key to seamless lesson planning with the Resources and costings sheet for our Design and technology scheme of work. Use this resource to efficiently allocate resources, manage costs effectively, and ensure a well-structured curriculum. Say goodbye to planning hassles and hello to a more organised and engaging teaching approach.
How will this resource help me to plan D&T lessons effectively?
This spreadsheet allows you to estimate the costs of equipment and resources required for each of our Design and technology units. Using the yellow cells, you can amend some of the data to inform the formula within and calculate estimated costs. Adapt this spreadsheet to your pupils and classes (for example, taking into consideration any dietary requirements), or if you prefer, change it to reflect projects completed with a different approach, such as in groups or pairs.
The remaining items from multiple-piece packs of equipment and resources can carry over into other year groups or classes.
Please note: The information in this spreadsheet is estimated only and will depend on what is available from your chosen suppliers and within your local area.
Health and safety note: To ensure the safety of your pupils and staff, consider establishing a signing-in and out sheet for equipment that carries a higher risk (especially those for cutting and shaping), to count each item out and back in so none are left behind without the knowledge of where they are in school.
