Mechanical systems: Making a pop-up book
 
This half of term, Sapphire class will be designing and making a pop-up book. Hopefully, we will have a lot of fun while learning the following:
 
  • To know that mechanisms control movement.
  • To understand that mechanisms can be used to change one kind of motion into another.
  • To understand how to use sliders, pivots and folds to create paper-based mechanisms.
  • To know that a design brief is a description of what I am going to design and make.
  • To know that designers often want to hide mechanisms to make a product more aesthetically pleasing.
