A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Design and technology, Year 2, *New* Structures: A chair for a bear.

This resource is designed to support the children as they explore strong shapes and stiff and flexible materials before applying this knowledge to making a chair for a teddy bear. It introduces key vocabulary and concepts, such as design briefs and criteria, how material flexibility changes with thickness and what it means to evaluate and improve something. The resource also includes pictures of different types of chairs and a labelled diagram of the parts of a chair to help pupils use the correct vocabulary when making their own chairs. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering practical skills.
