Lesson Five – Vehicle Design
This design technology teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to select and record how to construct and use a movement mechanism to build a toy vehicle. The class can complete a plan to record and explain their design ideas for the movement mechanism to match the selected success criteria.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to select and record how to construct and use a movement mechanism to build a toy vehicle
Learning Objectives
Communicate their ideas using a variety of methods, including drawing and models. Identify how to use mechanisms to create movement in models.
Learning Outcomes
I can show design ideas by drawing a labelled diagram and building a model. I can explain how to combine materials to make something move in a model.
Vehicle Design
Teaching sequence to help the children select and record how to construct and use a movement mechanism to build a toy vehicle
Design Ideas
Display posters for whole class discussion to help the children identify and describe the best ways of building a toy vehicle with a movement mechanism
What Vehicles
Activity cards to help the children discuss and record how to construct and use a movement mechanism to build a toy vehicle
Toy Vehicle Plan
Template to help the children plan the design for a model of a toy vehicle that includes a movement mechanism
Vehicle Design
Interactive activity to help the children select and record how to construct and use a movement mechanism to build a toy vehicle

- Shape Matching
Identify, describe and compare different 2D shapes by their matching individual properties including the number of sides, vertices and lines of symmetry - 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
