Are your students getting lower marks in the written paper than the design and make element? Help them to achieve better results with this textbook, which has been created after listening to the needs of students and teachers. We understand that a real understanding of Resistant Materials Technology requires more than simply ticking off theory listed in the specification. Students need to know how and where to apply it, and understand why. '¢ Written specifically for Resistant Materials Technology, rather than adapted from a generic Design and Technology template '¢ Direct links between theory and its application, helping students to truly grasp underpinning knowledge '¢ Many examples of real student projects, which are analysed and linked to the AQA specification '¢ High quality illustrations, photographs and appropriate language throughout Student projects are chosen to illustrate the creativity at the heart of the subject and to inspire your students. The good practice they demonstrate, and the constant links between the projects and theory, will mean more motivated students with a far better understanding of the subject.
