Lesson Six – Vehicle Building
This design technology teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to construct and test a toy vehicle that includes a movement mechanism produced by combining different materials. The children can evaluate their completed toy vehicles against the selected success criteria and suggest improvements to their designs.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to construct and test a toy vehicle that includes a movement mechanism produced by combining different materials
Learning Objectives
Assemble, join and combine different materials and components. Identify how mechanisms can be used in different ways.
Learning Outcomes
I can select and join materials to make a model of something. I can use materials to make a mechanism of wheels and an axle.
