Key Learning Objectives(Taken from theSchools Design & Technology Scheme of Work):

      Application ofskills learned;

      Join withoutusing adhesives eg. dowel, staples, elastic bands, nuts andbolts;

      Cut sheetmaterial to size leaving an allowance for finefinishing;

      Simple finishingtechniques;

      Use techniquesfor reinforcing and strengthening structures.

Unit 1

Design Project:Designing and making a hand-held moving toy

Unit 1:investigation, disassemble, evaluate.

Children use avariety of resources including books, the internet and a variety ofhand-held toys which have moving parts. They find out aboutdifferent kinds of toys, the parts these require, and theadvantages and disadvantages of different systems formovement.

A variety ofworking moving toys which can be disassemble,various books, accessto the internet.

Teaching input andwhole class discussion

Paired/small groupwork on investigation & evaluation

I

Plenary

Mixed abilitypairings and groups. Less able are supported so that they caninvestigate the simpler mechanisms. More able children encouragedto explore a wider variety of toys some with more complexmechanisms.

Childrendemonstrate through discussion and their written work that theyunderstand how mechanisms such as cams and levers work to producemovement in hand held toys. Children show that they can evaluatethe advantages and disadvantages of different systems.

Literacy/History research skills

History Victorian toys

ICT link videoon levered toys and internet sites eg. flying pig

PSHE groupworking skills

Unit 2

Unit 2: Design andmake prototype.

Children workwithin the parameters of a Design Brief

Children discussthe design brief drawing on the experience they have gainedresearching the project in Unit 1. They then brainstorm ideas fortheir own hand-held moving toys. These are then further developedand refined. Children test their ideas by making a prototypeusing suitable temporary materials. Review and make adjustmentsas necessary. Children use the storyboard approach to plan &develop their ideas.

As above andchildrens previous notes. Materials for prototype

eg. paper, stiffsheet materials eg. card, foam board, scissors, other cuttingtools, glue, construction kits

Plenary

Mixed abilitygroups. Less able supported in the design of simpler mechanisms.More able encouraged to develop more complex ideas.

Childrendemonstrate through their discussions, storyboards and prototypesthat they can develop and refine their initial ideas.

Literacy storyboard technique

ICT & Numeracy children calculate the cost of manufacturing their models. Theycan use spreadsheets to develop calculations eg. costs,profits.

PSHE groupworking skills

ICT camcorderand digital camera to record work in progress. Review at a laterstage.

Unit 3

Unit 3: Makefinished toy.

Teaching inputcovering making skills needed.

Focused practicaltask: children make their hand held moving toys measuring,marking, sawing, drilling etc.

A finishingprocess (painting, decorating) used on the components or assembledtoy.

Childrendemonstrate their finished toy to the year group. Evaluation andreview.

cams, stiff sheetmaterials, eg. card, prepared cams (shaped and off-centre wheels),wooden wheels, doweling, cardboard boxes, wooden frames, PVA glue,masking tape, tools and equipment bench hooks, saws, hand drill,G-cramp, round file, single hole punch, paper drill, metail safetyruler, craft knives, cutting mats and glue gun (for teacheruse)

Plenary

Asabove

Childrendemonstrate that they are able to:

      make a workingversion of the hand-held moving toy that they havedesigned.

      finish the toy toa good standard and a way that will be pleasing to the targetmarket ie. other children

      that they canevaluate their work and suggest ways of improving itfurther.

Literacy speaking and listening

Numeracy/ICT asabove.

Unit 4
