Some tips of methodologyThis book has been designed to have students working a lot collaboratively. Working in groups, pairs and providing feedback to the whole class. There is a lot of reference to think, pair, share.
What is meant by think, pair, share?
Think-pair-share (TPS) is a learning strategy. It encourages collaborative learning.
Students think through questions using steps:
Think: Students think on their own about the questions and ideas.
Pair: Students are put in pairs to talk about their thoughts. This step allows students to focus their ideas, prepare what they will say and to consider ideas of others.
Share: Student pairs share their ideas with the whole class. Usually, students feel more confident to present ideas to a group with the support of a partner that they have just shared their ideas with. Using this process students’ ideas have become more focused through each of the three-steps.
Aim of the lesson:Explore processes without guidance
Can do statements:I can explain what the Design and Technology subject is
I can be part of the ‘Design Process’ to create a product
Key Words:Product
Design Brief

Lesson 1
Learning Journey
Start by writing the words design and process on the board. Ask students what they think this subject is about? What comes to their minds? Have students worked in pairs then discussed as a class.
Explain that design technology is about the designing products with technology built into them. Walk them through the kettle example in the book.
Explain that this term is all about design, after this tech-nology will be included.
Explain the design brief. Students will create a house out of glue and sticks. Keep it very brief, answer no questions about the design or structure of the house.
Put students into pairs. Have they worked together to draw four designs each of a house built of glue and sticks?
Once complete, notice if students have worked as a group to get feedback on each pair’s design.
Put students into groups of four to draw the final house their whole group will make
Once you approve, allow students to work in groups of four to build their chosen house.
Once built, talk students through the checklist, have them complete the checklist for their house.
Have students discussed in pairs, and then have written in their own words how they would make the house better if they did it again.

Introduce the project. Explain to the class that each student will make their own theme park ride.
Have students worked in pairs and asked each other the questions from the book. Then they should draw and write about their favourite ride.
Explain that you will now explain the different types of motion. It is not important for the students to remember these technical words, but it is important for them to understand the directions of possible movement.
Select different students to explain each type of motion.
Put students in pairs. Have them go through each of the rides answering the questions.
Support: You may want to read and explain each question to the group before starting so the weaker students know what the question is asking from them.
Stretch: Have the stronger students think of another ride and explain how it works.
Look closely at the Ferris wheel. Start by asking students how it is moving. Explain the words rotating and pivot. Show the picture of a motor and explain that the motor is spinning around to make the wheel spin.

Explain in today’s lesson students will learn about elec-tric circuit
Starter: Have students looked at the images, what do they already know about circuits? You could even give students 1x motor, 1x battery and 2x wires to test
Talk students through the meaning of a circuit– everything is joined together
Have students thought on their own and as a pair? Have they then given feedback to the class on what was the difference when there was electricity and when there wasn’t? Think about solar panels, wind farms etc.
Explain to the class that for something to be powered it needs positive (+) and negative (-) terminals (ends). This means we must connect the + and – of the battery to different sides of a bulb or motor etc. That’s why a plug has two pins at the bottom.
Show students the complete and incomplete circuits, what do they think it means?
Have them give feedback to the class. They should know the circuit should have no gaps.
Have students worked on their own? Look at each of the circuits and write if they are complete or incomplete. Select students to give feedback to the class, ask them to explain why they picked that answer.
If you have a motor then show students a powered motor, or look at the photo. Explain the motor, when it receives power, spins around.
Explain to students that they will now do an experiment. They will predict if the motor will work or not, then build their circuits the same as the picture to test it. Explain what the word predict means.
Finish the lesson by reading through the “Changes in power”, explain the things that need more power in the circuit. We can add more batteries to do this.
Aim of the lesson:To look at how to create rotating parts using electrical motors.
Can do statements:I can explain how a circuit with a motor is used to create rotating parts

Explain to students, in this lesson, they create a mini theme park ride.
Starter: Have students looked at the images, or give them a sample of the actual products. How can they use this to make a theme park ride with a rotating part? What would they need to attach to the motor? What different kinds of rotating parts could we have? Let children think, make pairs and share their ideas.
Explain that the pulley attached to the motor is called a ‘driver’ and the other moving part is called a ‘follower’.
Have students work in pairs to draw the arrows on the diagrams showing the way which the follower will turn. Allow groups to give their feedback to the class.
Select students to read through the steps of the make part. Do they know the name of all the equipment? Do they know how to make the cuboid?Allow students to make the prototypes.
Support: You may wish to pair some students together
Stretch: Set the stronger students the challenge of designing their own characters to rotate on the ride instead of using the given camel.
Go through the information on how pulley and belt systems can be used to transfer movement from one axle to another.
What do they notice about the way the axel turns?
Show them that if they make a ‘figure of 8’ in the elastic band they can change the direction. How do they think this could be used in their rides?
Aim of the lesson:To look at show gears can be used to move parts

Ask students if they know what a “gear” are. Have they heard of this word before? What about in relation to a bike or car?
Explain to students that gears are round, like a wheel, with teeth that connect together.
Explain that gears can be attached to a motor to turn things.
Show them the image of the simple gear. The drive moves in one direction whilst the follower moves in the other.
Explain that slower the more teeth a gear has the slower it is.
Have students worked in pairs. What rides do they think use the spur gear system to move?
Explain that another type of system is the worm and wheel. This mechanism is used when rides need to move slow.
Q: Ask students, if they are designing a slow ride, who do they think the target audience is?
Aim of the lesson:To investigate ways of making a framework for a theme park ride.

Show the pictures, ask about how they could create the frameworks for these rides using materials easy to get e.g. card, wood, doweling, etc.
Explain to students that today we will investigate ways of making frameworks ready for designing and creating their own theme park ride.
Put students in pairs and ensure they have the correct equipment. Can they make the first diagram out of the straw and card? How did they attach it? How could this be turned into a theme park ride?
Have students continued through the challenges.
Support: Ask the weaker students to complete two of the challenges
Stretch: Ask stronger students to complete the “big challenge” card then present to the class
Look at the equipment given. How can they use this to make a theme park ride?
Explain that the word reenforce means to make stronger
Have students created the triangle out of the straw. How easy does the shape change? [It should be easy] follow the steps to Blu-Tack the support bar in place. Has it made it stronger?
Explain to students that they will now apply this by creating a bridge. Select students to read out the design brief.
Explain what a design brief is (recap from the earlier Chapter) does any student remember the steps?
Have students thought about what the specification for the bridge is made pairs and shared the ideas for creating the bridge.
Have students worked in pairs to discuss how they will test their bridge. i.e. what is the design criteria. Again revisit Chapter 2 if needed about the design process
Carry out the test and write their evaluations in the space provided. Share some with the class.
Give students the equipment and put them into groups of three. Have each group draw a design for the bridge, then create the bridge.
Spend a little time looking at each bridge, can a member of the team explain how they decided on the design and why?
