Learning Intention
I am learning to…
- experiment with different construction materials to find out what I can do with them.
- create designs for different structures.
Success Criteria
Students will demonstrate their learning when they…
- use different materials and components to safely make designs,
- investigate what different materials and components will do,
- discover what is best for each job,
- explore how technologies use forces to create movement in products. [Gears]
To learn this I will…
- plan and build given structures,
- plan and build my own structures.
How will I learn this?
Rotating groups will work with different materials and components each week.
Squiz
Push any two Squiz together and the air rushes out and they join by suction.
Pull hard to get them apart. They will pop!
There are 8 different shapes to use.
What can you make with Squiz?
Magnetic Shapes
Join the shapes together to make a picture.
Try to use all the shapes.
Build a Community
You have community buildings, vehicles and people.
Plan your community so it will be convenient and safe for the people.
