Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Before starting this unit, you might want to check that children can recall:

  • A 'device' means equipment created for a purpose or job.

  • The 6 Rs of sustainability (reuse, recycle, repair, refuse, rethink and reduce).

  • That Tinkercad is a piece of computer-aided design software.

  • How to place, manoeuvre and combine 3D objects using CAD. (The basics of Tinkercad are covered again in this unit).
