RESISTANT MATERIALS

KNOWLEDGE BANK

This booklet is to be completed throughout Terms 2 and 3 in conjunction with your Resistant Materials course.

The contents, worksheets on each piece of equipment and hand tool used with woods, metals and plastics, will enable you to not only learn about each item in detail through usage, but also to keep a record to refer to when revising for examinations.

A ring binder is provided with this booklet, which must be kept in school except when revising for exams and tests.

You should also refer to your text book ‘Edexcel GCSE Design and Technology: Resistant Materials,’ which is also provided.

PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS IMPORTANT RESOURCE. IT WILL HELP YOU SUPPORT YOUR COURSEWORK AS WELL AS YOUR EXAMS
