DT Mechanisms - KS1 Sliders and Levers Bundle!

This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to create working slider and lever mechanisms.

The resources include 3 lessons and an evaluation sheet (leading children through the ‘research, design, make, evaluate’ process) and a corresponding knowledge organiser.

I used a polar theme when teaching this unit, as it was our topic at the time, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular project.

Each PowerPoint is eye-catching and comprehensive, and all worksheets templates are included as in both Word and PDF.

These lessons were originally created for children in years 1-2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
