As it is Bank Holiday and VE day  tomorrow , I will not be posting on the blog. So save the first 2 activities for Friday. (VE day and DT)

Firstly, watch the video below to find out all about VE day.

Once you have done that, feel free to complete more research to help you create a, Show me What you Know, piece of work.

D&T

Previously, you had the chance to explore and investigate gears and levers. We are now going to focus on gears.

Watch the videos below to help you answer the questions posed.

What are gears?

How do gears work?

Post your answers in the comment section.

Task 2

List the mechanical objects you can see in the picture. Then can you explain what in the object makes it mechanical? ( How does the gear system work?)

Now, if we were in the classroom, you would have the opportunity to look at these objects more closely and with your friend, decide what it is and how it works.

Don’t worry if you are not able to decide what all of the objects are,  but have a really good go.
