Lesson plan

Recap and recall

Before starting this unit, check that the children can recall: Structures are built from parts to use or do a job. Freestanding structures can stand on their own without being held up. Structures with a wider base are more stable than those with a narrower base.

Adaptive teaching

Pupils needing support

Should use the Activity: Design criteria: support version, which has fewer statements to match to the chairs and reduces cognitive load; could use the Knowledge organiser to support with vocabulary.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should add their own design criteria for each chair in the Activity: Design criteria task; could suggest suitable users for a wider range of chairs.
