Explore how technologies use forces to create movement in designed solutions
Elaborations
-
exploring how the principles of push and pull are used in the design of toys, for example in a spinning toy such as an Aboriginal mammandur
-
identifying, and playing and experimenting with, components such as wheels, balls, slides, springs and available local materials, tools and equipment to solve problems requiring movement
-
selecting materials to demonstrate how material properties are appropriate for particular designed solutions, for example materials that enable sliding or floating
-
exploring a system such as a marionette or Indonesian wayang kulit shadow puppet to see that movement can be created by combining materials with forces
-
combining materials and using forces in design, for example designing the door on a cage or a simple conveyor belt to move materials short distances
-
exploring how to manipulate materials using a range of tools, equipment and techniques to create movement, for example when constructing a toy boat that floats and moves
