Story Book with Moving Parts

Download this 17-slide PowerPoint to use with Primary children in a DT project about storybooks. The design brief of designing a page in a story book, with skeleton characters with moving parts will appeal to children of all ages. The PowerPoint has images of pivot joints, linkages and lever joints and explains these methods of joining materials in terms children can understand. Included are 4 x A4 pages of a writing frame that will lead children through the design, make and evaluation process. A really useful easy-to-follow resource that will develop children’s design technology skills and they will love sharing their book with younger children afterwards!
