Moving Monsters D&T Class Kit

Moving Monsters D&T Class Kit

Explore how air can produce movement through simple pneumatic mechanisms.

• Provides enough equipment for thirty pupils, including burger boxes, syringes, tubing, and balloons.

• Delve into pneumatics and mechanical systems with the Moving Monsters D&T Class Kit. Designed for thirty pupils, this kit includes burger boxes, syringes, balloons, and tubing, enabling the construction of innovative moving monsters. By exploring air pressure, children uncover the science behind movement and how it can be harnessed in simple mechanisms.

• Aligned with the Design and Technology curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, the kit introduces basic mechanisms like levers at Key Stage 1 and progresses to more complex systems such as gears at Key Stage 2. This approach enriches learning, helping children to apply theoretical concepts practically.

• The kit, complete with D&T Association help sheets, supports educators with resources for effective lesson planning. Designed to inspire creativity and problem-solving, it is an invaluable resource for enhancing critical thinking and understanding of mechanical systems through hands-on learning.
