Flashcards for Edexcel GCSE Design and Technology (1DT0), split into Core content and then a subdeck for each material category (Metals, Papers and boards, Polymers, Systems, Textiles, Timbers), in the specification's order. Delete or suspend the material category subdecks your course does not study, keeping only Core content and your own.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • What budget constraints might limit how a new technology is adopted in a design?
    The cost of the technology may be more than a project or a business can afford
  • In the design and technology exam, mathematics questions are always set in what kind of context?
    An applied design and technology context, never as pure maths on its own
  • What are natural forces within a fibre as it grows?
    The fibre's own structure, formed as the plant or animal grows, which gives it its natural shape and properties
  • What are natural forces within timber as it grows?
    Stresses that build up in the trunk as the tree grows, which can cause the wood to warp or split once cut
  • Lustre
    The soft shine or sheen a fabric's surface reflects
  • What is a regular section, as a stock form of timber?
    Timber supplied as a length with a constant cross-section, such as square or rectangular
  • Design fixation
    Getting stuck on one design idea too early, which stops other possibilities being explored
  • A metal that returns to a remembered shape when heated
    Shape-memory alloy (SMA)
  • What is a polymer moulding, as a stock form?
    A polymer part already shaped into a specific form, ready to use or assemble
  • Why must designers respect that different social, ethnic and economic groups have different needs and values?
    A product designed only around one group's needs and values may not suit or be accepted by others
