Hi, everyone, I'm Mrs. Courts and I'm very excited to join you for today's lesson on generating ideas through talking and 2D drawing.

This is part of the "Frame Structures, Bridges" unit.

In our lesson today, our lesson outcome is I can generate ideas by talking and drawing.

In today's lesson, we have five keywords.

I'll say them first and then you repeat them after me.

Super.

Famous landmarks.

Famous landmarks.

Super.

Famous landmarks are special places that are well-known to others.

Designing.

Designing.

Super, designing is the process of creating a plan for a product or structure.

Sketching.

Sketching.

Super, sketching is a quick drawing based on what you can see.

And unique.

Unique.

Brilliant, unique is something special that is one of a kind.

Design specification.

Design specification.

Super, design specification describes what a product has to do.

Well done, everyone, and great listening and great keywords.

In our lesson today, our lesson outline shows there's two parts to our lesson, two learning cycles, and our first part of our lesson is generating ideas.

A famous landmark is a special place that is well-known to others.

They often have a unique design.

Have a look at these pictures.

Do they all look the same or are they all different? That's right, they're all different.

Alex says, "Unique means something special that is one of a kind." Well done, Alex and as you can see from those pictures, they're all different, they're all unique.

Lucas says, "Before creating a new design, an engineer or a designer will look at things that have already been designed and made." Andeep says, "That is a brilliant idea.

They can look for things they like or dislike about the design." That's a very good idea, Andeep, well done.

Before making a bridge, designers and engineers think about how the bridge will work, what the purpose of the bridge is and what will the bridge look like.

Colours, patterns, designs.

What makes it unique? This helps the new bridge design to be unique, to be one of a kind.

We're making a bridge to help the Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Our design specification helps the designer to, "Check that the product works," says Lucas.

Well done, Lucas.

Make a bridge that the goats can get on and off.

That's a very good idea, Andeep and make a bridge that supports the weight of the three goats.

Well done, Izzy.

We're ready for our first check for understanding.

I'll say the sentence first and then see if you can remember what the keyword is and you can listen real carefully and say it back to me.

Are you ready? So my turn first.

Something that describes what a product has to do is called a design specification.

Something that describes what a product has to do is called a design specification.

Great sitting and listening.

Are you ready? Brilliant, your turn.

Something that describes what a product has to do is called a design specification.

Well done.

Brilliant work, today.

Take a few minutes to have a look at this design specification.

Who is using the bridge? The three goats will use the bridge.

Can you see the three goats? Brilliant.

Why are you building a bridge? To help the goats get to the lovely fresh grass on the other side of the river without meeting the troll.

What is important about the bridge design? Well, the bridge needs to be strong, sturdy and freestanding.

Well done.

Designers and engineers use a design specification for all of their projects.

After creating a design specification, designers often make sketches to share their design ideas.

A sketch is a quick drawing, usually done with a pencil and a piece of paper.

Designers create sketches to meet the design specification and these are called the design ideas.

Can you say that? Design ideas.

Well done.

Jacob says, "The bridge engineer will design a unique bridge that meets the design specification." When designers and engineers create a design idea, the sketches are of their ideas, their creation and their imagination.

Jacob says, "My idea is to put sides on my footbridge so the goats cannot fall in the water in the river." Well done, Jacob, that's a very good idea for your design.

We're ready for our next check for understanding.

Are you ready? Brilliant.

Sketches for a new design are called design, A, drawings, B, pictures or C, ideas? Sketches for a new design are called design drawings, pictures or ideas.

Pause the video now and have a little think.

Welcome back.

So sketches for a new design are called design, that's right, design ideas.

Well done.

To sketch, you will need paper, pencil and a rubber.

You might also use coloured pencils and rulers.

Designers and engineers add detail to their sketches.

They might put their lines very close together.

They might use straight lines.

You might need a ruler for that.

They might use curved lines.

They might use different shapes, such as triangles and thick or thin lines.

A designer will create a few sketches, not just the one, but a few of them to get lots of ideas.

Alex says, "Have a think about bridges you like.

What parts of the bridge will you sketch?" We're ready for our first task now, task A.

Hope you're listening.

Brilliant.

Look at photographs of bridges.

Tell your friend which parts you like and would like to use in your design, and then sketch two or three design ideas.

Remember to add lots of detail.

Pause the video now and complete task A.

Welcome back.

Well, by now you should have had a look at some photographs of bridges.

Talk to your friend about parts of the bridge you like and would like to use in your design and then sketch two or three design ideas and with lots of detail on them.

Brilliant, well done and great work today.

These are Jacob's sketches.

He looked at some famous landmark bridges and designed his own bridge based on these.

You might recognise some of the ideas.

Jacob likes castles.

Can you spot the bridge which looks similar to a castle? Well done.

We're now ready for our second part of our lesson, which is choosing your final design.

After the designer has created a few sketches, they then choose the one that best meets their design specification.

Alex says, "I have put a yellow star next to my chosen design." Maybe you could do that, put a yellow star by your chosen design.

The designer and engineer can then draw their final design with more detail.

They might use different colours.

They might think about using different shapes.

And they might even add some decorative windows.

What else might they add to their final design to add extra detail? Designers and engineers then choose their materials and make a list.

"A material is what something is made from," said Alex.

Well done, Alex.

To make a bridge mockup, you might choose the following materials, cards, a range of paper, paper straws, recyclable materials and string.

What will you choose to use in your bridge mockup? We're ready for our next check for understanding.

Hope you're listening.

Brilliant, a true or false question.

A material is what something is made from.

True or false? Pause the video now and have a little think Welcome back.

So true or false, a material is what something is made from is true.

Well done, everyone.

Why is it true? Why? That's right, card and paper are both materials.

A book might be made from card and paper too.

A material is what something is made from.

Well done, everyone.

Designers also think about how they'll join their materials.

They might use a glue stick, masking tape, staples or sticky tape.

The PVA and the double-sided tape are harder to use within projects.

The double-sided tape might be difficult to peel the backing off and can be quite tricky to use and the PVA glue can be a little bit messy, so use a small amount at a time.

We're ready for our next check for understanding.

I hope you're listening.

Which of these joining techniques is more difficult to use? Is it A, B or C? Pause the video now and have a little think.

Welcome back, so which of these joining techniques is more difficult to use? You're right, it's the PVA glue and the double-sided tape.

Well done, everyone.

We're ready for our final task, task B.

Hope you're listening really carefully.

I'd like you to choose your favourite design and then create a list of materials and then share your design with your friends and think about the joining techniques you might use.

Pause the video now and complete task B.

Welcome back.

So by now you should have chosen your favourite design, created your materials list and shared your design with your friends, thinking about how you'll join parts of your design together.

Jacob chose this design, because he likes castles.

You can see his yellow star to show that's the design that he chose.

It's got a castle design.

He's used an arch bridge and he's got ramps.

Well done, Jacob, a great design and great detail.

Jacob then chose his materials and talked about joining techniques with his friends.

He decided that he might use a toilet roll tube or toothpaste boxes, thin curved cardboard and for the foundations, stick tubes or boxes to the base.

He might use some reinforced cardboard and folded card to hold the ramp in place and reinforced card using straws.

Well done, Jacob, a great design and good labels for your materials.

We've reached the end of our lesson for today on generating ideas through talking and 2D drawing.

I wonder if you can show me your thumbs up if you feel you've met these learning points along the way.

Super.

Ideas come from inspiration, often by looking at the work of other designers.

Super.

Ideas come from talking with others.

Excellent.

And ideas come from drawing.

Brilliant.

Well, thank you for all of your hard work and ideas today.

See you soon.
