Description
This is a new edition of the very successful textbook for key stage 4 students, aged 14-16, of design and technology. The new edition has been fully updated throughout - a chapter on 'Products and Applications' replaces the redundant one on 'Energy'. Students will find it a motivating book with a strong emphasis on problem-solving. Many practical projects are included and all have been designed and made by pupils in school workshops.
