Thematic Subject 2 - Design & Technology – Mechanical Systems – Pneumatic Toys
I can explore how pneumatic systems can force air over a distance to create movement.
To design a toy which uses a pneumatic system.
I can create a pneumatic system to create a desired motion.
I can test and finalise ideas against design criteria.
Thematic Subject 1 Science – Forces and Magnets – See Science Book I can compare how things move on different
surfaces. I can see that some forces need contact
between two objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance, I can observe how magnets attract or repel
each other and attract some materials and not others. I can compare and group some materials on
the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials. I can predict whether two magnets will
attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing. I can describe
magnets as having two poles. Key Vocabulary:
