Mechanisms and Structures

We continued our work in Design and Technology,exploring wheels and axles. During our exploration we began to see how cogs worked together. The addition of some longer pieces of wood allowed the Pioneers to build on a bigger  scale,working together to secure long pieces.

We built a tower from the left over parts of a wardrobe. This formed a platform for our ramp (a carpet inner tube) We ran the trains down the tube and had a discussion about friction.

Some intricate structures have been made this week and we will continue to develop these next week.
