This course offers comprehensive coverage of the National Curriculum through tried-and-tested design tasks and ideas. Each pupil's book is divided into three sections, one for each year of Key Stage 3, ensuring seamless progression through the course. By commencing each section with a practical "making" task, pupils' interest is stimulated, and this in turn motivates them as they then develop design skills in this area. Step-by-step guidance helps pupils through the "making" activities, and all major tasks and homework activities are differentiated on three levels so that, whatever pupils' prior knowledge or capabilities, they can develop essential skills and competence.
