Lesson Three – Wobbly Animals
This design technology teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to design and build a model of a farm toy animal using card linkages to create different movements. The class can create card shapes for different animals and use a card linkage to move one part of the animal’s body.

Learning Objectives
Develop ideas by shaping materials and putting together components. Identify and describe movements of different objects and products.
Learning Outcomes
I can make a model of something by shaping materials and joining components. I can describe and explain how something might move.

- Shape Changes
Explore and illustrate how to make patterns of 2D shapes by changing their size and position - Shape Patterns
Identify and describe some of the patterns that can be made using different sequences of 2D shapes - Shape Groups
Select and group sets of different 2D shapes by their matching vertical lines of symmetry - Mirror Lines
Identify and record where to find vertical lines of symmetry on different 2D shapes
