Year 3 think about how to join materials

In DT, we have been set a challenge to create a mechanism. So far we have looked at levers as well as pulley systems. This week we have been set our task... to design and make a trap!

Part of this will be making a prototype using card- so we need to think about 1) the different ways to join items 2) the different adhesives we might need.

We looked at flanges, L braces and tabs and used pva glue, tape and stick glue to see which worked better.
