Year 5 controllable vehicles

Apart from rehearsing and performing 'Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits', during Science and DT week, Year Five were designing and making controllable vehicles.

The children learnt how to measure, mark and cut wood and join it using cardboard triangles.  They then researched existing vehicle designs and and created their own body for the car.  Once these two aspects were completed, they used their previous learning of electrical circuits and learnt how to fit gears and pulleys to make their vehicle move.

Once complete, the children then used trial and improvement to make their vehicle the best it could be.

Great work again Year Five!
