• Understand and use mechanical systems in their products (for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages).
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 1, Technical Knowledge
• Explore and use mechanisms (for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles) in their products.
• A bumper size pack of economy card cams for creating moving resources and more.
• This pack includes three types of cams: double rise, single rise, and snail, available with either 4mm or 5mm pre-drilled holes.
• Unlock the potential of hands-on learning with this 200 pack of thick card cams, ideal for children aged 7 years and up. This resource enables the creation of moving mechanisms, offering a tactile approach to exploring mechanical systems. Including double rise, single rise, and snail cams, it allows for a wide range of movements in pupil-designed projects.
• These cams are closely aligned with Key Stage 2 Design and Technology curriculum objectives, concentrating on teaching mechanical systems knowledge like gears, pulleys, cams, levers, and linkages. At Key Stage 1, they support learning about basic mechanisms such as levers, sliders, wheels, and axles, aiding in the development of early technical knowledge.
The availability of 4mm and 5mm pre-drilled holes enhances their versatility, making them suitable for a variety of axle sizes and project requirements.
