DT - Wheels and axles

Lesson: Design and technology

This week we started our D.T. project.   We are looking at the mechanisms that allow vehicles to move (namely wheels and axles) and how they work.  We are going to be designing and making our own small vehicle for a child to play with.  Today, we investigated wheels and axles using kinex.  In groups we had to build a vehicle with at least 3 wheels that would go in a straight line when pushed.
