Forces: Design and Technology

Design and construct a simple toy that has one moving part!

During this design and technology project the children learned how to construct a lever as a way to move a part of a toy.

Problem solving, discussing and experimenting were improtant skills that the children needed to use as they revised plans and designs to make their moving part work successfully.

Mr Jim demonstrated how to construct the lever with a pivot point.

The children learned how to design carefully with labels and clear diagrams to show the plan for the toy. This is a critical part of developing Design and Technology skills.
