(Downloadable instruction booklet within category PDF Resources) This project has been carefully designed by teachers for teachers. It is designed as an introduction to thermochromic pigments (heat changing colours). It is not intended as a full scheme of work although you may wish to incorporate it into one but as a small design and make task which could be completed within a couple of lessons. It would also be an ideal task for "Technology/Enterprise day" or the like or even as a project for your next CPD!
This booklet is intended as an aid to teachers in their planning and contains a wealth of information to help you along with a few worksheets and levellers you could use during your lessons.
Colour changing mugs are a common ‘giveaway’ by companies wishing to keep the name of their business on your lips and this project helps to take away the mystery of its workings whilst introducing the technology of smart materials into a graphics project.
