Summer 1 & 2

 

Spring 1 and 2 - Wheels and Axles

Our completed buggies.

Planning two designs, we will make one, either fixed or free wheeled.

Free and fixed wheel axles. We made examples of both. We cut the dowel, attached axle holders and used the glue gun.

Cutting the dowel to make the axle.

Exploring wheels and axles.

Autumn 2 - Freestanding Structures

Constructing our bridges.

Completing our design brief for two different bridges.

We made a swing in pairs. We noticed the triangles used in the frame. We know this makes the structure stronger.

Exploring joining techniques and how to make structures stronger and less likely to fall over.

Exploring shapes used in structures. Which are stronger than others?

Exploring how to make a stronger structure.

Using construction materials to explore building freestanding structures.

We found out about different designers.
