CSF II Level 3 Technology Level 3: Materials and movement Learning Outcome 3.2 Develop products safely using a variety of processes and evaluate with reference to the appropriateness of the materials used.

CSF II Level 3 Learning Outcome Indicators This is evident when the student is able to: modify the sequence of the technology process phases in response to advice describe at least two simple systems in terms of materials, moving parts and how they work develop designs and plans for constructing products, some of which have moving parts select some appropriate tools and equipment and use a variety of joining techniques to safely construct products explain, in terms of their characteristics, how the materials used were appropriate for the products.

Use the technology Process

Investigate Consider possible designs for your vehicle. Investigate the range of materials available. What will you use for the wheels? What will you use for the body? How many wheels will you use? How will you attach the wheels? How large will you make your vehicle?

Design Your task is to design a vehicle that can role down a ramp and reach the bottom intact. Requirements your vehicle must: have between 3 and 4 wheels; travel in a straight line; role freely; be between 10 – 35 cm in length; be between 10 – 25 cm high; use only recycled materials.

Design cont… You must draw a design for your vehicle including dimensions and a list of materials required. Elevation: 35 cm 25 cm

Design cont… You must draw a design for your vehicle including dimensions and a list of materials required. Plan: 35 cm 15 cm

Design cont… Materials: 1x Cardboard box for body 4 x CD-ROM “Coasters” for wheels Straws for axles Paper PVA Glue Blue tack Sticky tape

Produce Using your design and the materials you have collected build your vehicle. Use caution when cutting paper and cardboard. Never cut towards yourself or another person. Ask for assistance from the teacher when making holes for the axels!

Evaluate Test your vehicle on the ramp provided. Does it travel in a straight line? Did it make it to the bottom intact? If not you will have to INVESTIGATE why not.INVESTIGATE Change the DESIGN.DESIGN PRODUCEPRODUCE a new model EVALUATE the new improved design.

Make sure you vehicle does not crash!

If it does crash investigate why, change the design ifdesign necessary. Make aProduce newProduce prototype and try again.again

Make sure you vehicle does not crash! Good Luck. See the crash again
