Key Stage Two : Design Technology : Weather Station
This design technology scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to select materials and techniques to utilise when designing and making a range of instruments that can be used measure the local weather around the school. The class can identify the properties of materials to match the selected success criteria for the finished product.
Select materials and techniques to utilise when designing and making a range of instruments that can be used measure the local weather around the school
Lesson One : Weather Instruments
Explain and test how a range of instruments can be used to measure different types of weather
Lesson Two : Instrument Materials

Lesson Four : Instrument Design
Complete a plan about how to build different instruments with movement mechanisms to measure the weather
Lesson Five : Weather Construction
Select and shape materials to build different instruments that can be used to measure the weather
Lesson Six : Weather Testing
Review the design and materials used in the construction of instruments with movement mechanisms to measure the weather
