ABSTRACT
Design and technology is a distinct subject in its own right but also incorporates the knowledge from all of the other subjects. Through developing cross-curricular links between design and technology and other subjects, pupils are able to see the context of what they are learning, which provides a purpose to the learning, which in turn becomes embedded. This chapter demonstrates the wealth of opportunities that are available for cross-curricular links through practical advice and provides the opportunity to reflect on the reader’s current practice. Consideration is given to the core subjects, option subjects and to the wider school curriculum, giving suggestions for links suitable for different levels of expertise and time scales.
