This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually develop towards constructing prototype 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 first lesson helps children to:
-Understand how wheel and axle mechanisms work;
-Consider objects, vehicles and tools that use wheel and axle mechanisms;
-Understand what the chassis and body of vehicles are;
-Begin thinking about design considerations of the wheels, axles, chassis and body of different vehicles, with a particular consideration of purpose and audience.
Included is an eye-catching and comprehensive 20-slide PowerPoint presentation, and a research template (in both Word and PDF).
These lessons were originally created for children in year 2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
