Knowledge organiser: D&T – Y5 Gears and pulleys
A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Design and technology, Year 5, Option 1: *New* Gears and pulleys.
This resource is designed to support pupils as they explore how gears and pulleys can transfer force and motion within mechanical systems. It explains how gears change speed, direction, and force, using clear visuals and terminology such as “input” and “output” to describe mechanisms like those in bicycles. The organiser introduces pulleys as systems that redirect or reduce force, with real-life examples such as sailboats and escalators. It also highlights the importance of identifying real-world problems, conducting market and competitor research, and applying user feedback in the design process. This organiser is ideal for developing mechanical understanding alongside practical, sustainable problem-solving skills.
