Design Technology (including Science) Orion Can I make something powered by electricity? National curriculum requirement: KS1 build structures, exploring how they can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable evaluate their ideas and products against design criteria select from and use a range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing] construct a simple series electrical circuit, identifying and naming its basic parts, including cells, wires, bulbs, switches and buzzers KS2 understand and use electrical systems in their products [for example, series circuits incorporating switches, bulbs, buzzers and motors] evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work select from and use a wider range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing], accurately generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches Substantive Knowledge:: To know the process of design, make, evaluate to produce a quality product To construct an electrical circuit and name the parts of it. To understand why a circuit may or may not work. To be able to make a prototype or a detailed diagram of my design
Long-term overview for Design Technology Orion Design Technology: to use the process of design, make and evaluate Science: Apply skills linked to forces Can I make something powered by electricity? What can we tell you about materials that conduct electricity? What can I tell you about the design process and why it is important? What can we tell you about an electrical circuit? What can we tell you about the importance of prototypes and detailed design? What do we know about the components of an electrical circuit? Disciplinary Knowledge Research (science) Electricity, protons, components Research (design technology) generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design
Orion Knowledge Organiser Subject: Design Technology Main Learning: Can I make something powered by electricity?
