The resource challenges learners to become designers and engineers, planning and constructing theme park rides that not only demonstrate a scientific understanding of forces, but that also develop an understanding of environmental awareness and the impact of theme parks upon the ecosystem. Developed with support from the Royal Academy of Engineering, this resource combines curriculum skills from science, design and technology, maths, PSHE education, art and design and literacy/English. Pupils will develop engineering skills through the practical experience of ‘tinkering’, improving problem solving, developing resilience, drawing on a range of skills from different curricular areas, and being rewarded for curiosity and creativity. This exciting series of lessons also develops mindfulness skills and concludes with pupils constructing and showcasing their own theme park as a class, in addition to completing homework tasks that promote independence and ecological awareness.
