• Explore and use mechanisms (for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles) in their products.
• Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Technical Knowledge
• Understand and use mechanical systems in their products (for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages).
• An alternative to wooden models, these wheels crafted from stiff card fit perfectly onto 5mm dowels.
• These wheels are available in three sizes: 38mm, 51mm, and 63mm, offering varied design possibilities.
• These card wheels bolster the exploration of mechanisms within Design & Technology projects. They aid in demonstrating core principles of movement and interaction through hands-on learning. By integrating these components into educational environments, children can delve into the fundamentals of mechanical systems.
• Ideal for projects relating to both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 'Design and Technology' curricula, these wheels help illustrate concepts like mechanisms. This practical application aids in internalising knowledge that can be abstract when learned through conventional methods only.
Constructed from sturdy cardboard and available in three distinct sizes, the wheels provide a durable and versatile option for educators looking to enrich their science and technology teachings.
