Design and Technology Lower KS2 This unit of work was written for a year 3 class but can be used for year 4 too. It follows from structures unit that pupils should have learnt in KS1 e.g creating photo frames or houses for three little pigs etc. The unit includes development of knowledge and skills from the programmes of study for DT in Key Stage 2. A complete unit of work with lesson planning, Powerpoints and resources. Visuals and photos included for clear instructions Design inspirations for shell structures e.g natural and manufactured as well as suitable designers and engineers. Opportunities to plan and make a shell structure e.g using 3d nets of varying design as well as CAD. Pupils will construct a sandwich box or a trinket box and evaluate on an ongoing basis to see if the design is fit for purpose. Pupils will develop understanding of technical skills and explore cutting, joining and strengthening techniques. Thank you for choosing this and I can assure you - it will save you many hours of planning.

DT in year 3 and Year 4. Linked to the Primary National Curriculum objectives. Pupils will design and make healthy Granola Bars in this project. This is a half term unit of work with 5 lesson plans, PowerPoints for pupils and lesson resources like design decision table, visuals for support and a recipe card to follow in writing as well as instructions with visuals. The unit encourages pupils to be inspired by snack designs on the market, research through tasting and working collaboratively, and think about the purpose of their own design e.g make it healthier, nut free, gluten free, sugar free etc. Children will be overjoyed with new taste sensations and can also make links with climate change, sustainable food sources, food and trade, air miles. Lesson 1- Discover importance of iron rich foods and take inspiration from snacks on the market Lesson 2 - Design decisions by tasting and voting Lesson 3 - Follow the recipe, weigh and measure accurately to make a healthy Granola Bar. Lesson 4 - Create net packaging for your snack Lesson 5 - Final Evaluations Suitable for the national curriculum for lower key stage 2. Thank you for choosing this resource and I hope it saves you valuable teacher time.
