Presenting final designs
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can share my final product design.
Key learning points
- The final design can be shared with photos.
- The final design can be shared with a simple drawing.
- The final design can be labelled to show the main parts of the windmill and how they work.
Keywords
Ordering - putting things in the correct sequence, often using words like first, next and then
Sketch - a quick drawing based on what you can see
Explain - giving information and detail to make something easy to understand
Common misconception
There is only one strategy to making a moving windmill.
There are multiple ways to make the windmill turn. It can be made using different materials - such as wood, card, straws, split pins and pins
Teacher tip
Teacher could have photographs printed to support sharing their journey. For pupils who worry about sketching, they could use tracing paper to trace over a photograph of their finishied work. Task 2, pupils could order photographs or pictures on a timeline to share their windmill journey.
