Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Engineering Principles
Use this set to demonstrate fundamental engineering principles. It offers practical examples that help children grasp complex concepts through hands-on learning.
-
Cams and Linkages
The set contains examples of cams and linkages, allowing children to create recognisable models of engines, fairground rides, and other mechanical creations.
-
Key Stage 2 Suitable
Designed to be suitable for Key Stage 2 pupils, this set supports the curriculum by providing practical applications of mechanical systems.
-
Comprehensive Set
The set offers one hundred ten pieces, providing ample resources for creating various models and exploring different engineering concepts.
-
Technical Knowledge
Supports Key Stage 1 curriculum by enabling children to explore and use mechanisms like levers, sliders, wheels, and axles in their projects.
Polydron Engineering Set
Inspire future engineers and demonstrate the workings of simple machines.
Overview
Teachers aiming to inspire future engineers need the Polydron engineering set. With 110 pieces, it allows children to explore simple machines through hands-on activities. Users receive guided instructions on building 5 models: a chairspinner, chairoplane, 2 gear resources, and a cable car. This practical approach helps children understand engineering principles and develop problem-solving skills.
Aligned with the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Design & Technology curriculum, the set supports technical knowledge by enabling children to explore mechanisms like levers, sliders, wheels, and axles. It fosters a deeper understanding of how everyday objects function and encourages creative thinking.
Children can choose components based on their characteristics and functional properties, enhancing their technical skills and nurturing creativity in building functional products.
Supports the National Curriculum
