Outcome

  • To investigate different money containers.
  • To know that products are used for different purposes and for different users.

Outcome

  • To design and model a suitable money container using different fabrics.
  • To know of and be able to use back stitches and running stitches.

Outcome

  • To make the money container that has been designed
  • Attach pieces together by sewing components.

Outcome

  • To evaluate the money containers that have been made.

Outcome

  • To investigate, analyse and evaluate books and other products that use a range of lever and linkage mechanisms.
  • To know where levers and linkages are used in commercial products or industry.

Outcome

  • Begin to develop an understanding that mechanical systems such as levers and linkages or pneumatic systems can create movement.
  • Understand and use lever and linkages, and fixed and loose pivots.

Outcome

  • Develop a design brief within a context that is meaningful and authentic.
  • Design a mechanism using annotated sketches and a prototype to model and communicate ideas.

Outcome

  • Using appropriate tools and skills, make their designed product.
  • Evaluate how well does your structure work?
  • How did you make the structure strong and durable? How does your product protect and contain? How does the product look? Is it appealing for the user?

Outcome

  • Discuss and investigate a range of battery-powered products including nightlights.
  • Look at the design, function and purpose.

Outcome

  • Investigate examples of switches, including those which are commercially available, which work in different ways e.g. push-to-make, push-to-break, toggle switch. Let the children use them in simple circuits e.g. How might different types of switches be useful in different types of products?

Outcome

  • Design a nightlight using a switch through generating a range of ideas that has an agreed design criterion including safety features.
  • Using annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, as appropriate, to develop, model and communicate ideas.
  • Consider the main stages in making the design.

Outcome

  • Using a range of recyclable materials, make their product for the intended user.
  • Evaluate how well does the nightlight work.
  • Will the night light meet the needs of the user and achieve its purpose?
