the basic shape or size a material is supplied in

Paper and boards properties, sources and stock forms

Design and technology

3D Modelling in Tinkercad

Modelling and assembling complex shapes in Tinkercad

Movement with mechanisms

Model a moving part in Tinkercad

Design and simulate in Tinkercad

CAD to CAM in Tinkercad

CAM, automation and laser cutting

Pupils will model with paper and boards and learn about sources and stock forms.  They will develop 3D computer-aided design knowledge and skills, applying this by designing and simulating mechanical systems using TinkerCAD.

Prototypes with mechanisms: robotics and automation

Physical activity and equipment requiring safe use

Use of equipment that may require supervision for safety, e.g. scissors in KS1, needles, paint, knives, cooking.
