Sustainability Matters in Design and Technology

"This pack will be a really valuable resource to all teachers looking for ways of encouraging their GCSE students to think and design more sustainably."--Maria James, GCSE Chief Examiner and Head of Art, Design and Technology

Sustainability Matters in Design and Technology will help you deliver the increased emphasis on sustainability within the new GCSE courses. The pack contains a CD with six presentations covering the D & T material areas, linked teachers’ notes and photocopiable sheets for students on the topics of inspirational products, the four dimensions of sustainable design--economic, environmental, cultural and social impacts, product life cycle analysis, and definitions of the six Rs.

To accompany the CD the pack contains 13 postcards that will help students understand how designers use the six Rs to develop inspirational products.
