This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually develop towards constructing vehicles using wheels and axles. The resources were originally created to guide children towards building safari buggies, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular project.
This is the fourth lesson in the series, which focuses on making the body of the vehicle. Children:
-Recall how wheel and axle mechanisms work;
-Recall key terminology relating to wheel and axle mechanisms;
-Understand how to use nets to create strong cube/ cuboid shapes;
-Understand how to use a variety of materials to make windscreens/ spare wheels/ bumpers/ roofs;
-Test and improve their vehicle.
The resource is made up of a 13-slide PowerPoint presentation and the nets needed for the cube/ cuboid shapes.
These lessons were originally created for children in years 2 and 3, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
