Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support
Could take responsibility for drawing the item of clothing in the group task; could draw two to three classroom objects (scissors, water bottle and paper clip) as an alternative to the Activity: parts of a bike, labelling the materials they are made from and verbally explaining why the materials are suitable; could watch the Pupil video: Parts of a bike before the lesson.
Pupils working at greater depth
Should take responsibility for writing about the material’s suitability in the group task; could explain why certain materials (glass, fabric or rock) are not suitable for bike parts (e.g. glass is not suitable for the bike frame because it is fragile and would smash; fabric is not suitable for the pedals because it is not rigid and your feet would fall off; rock is not suitable for the handlebars because it is heavy and would tip the bike forwards).
