DT - KNEX Wempark fairground rides

4CM researched how different fairground rides can be created using KNEX and how they move using a pulley wheel that spin/move the ride.   The children worked in pairs to design their own ride for a new fairground ‘Wempark’.  When they started to build this, they needed to work collaboratively, making modifications to their design when required.  After this was complete, the children evaluated their ride against the original criteria and suggested ways that their ride could be further improved.

Photos can be seen here.

Four examples that were created in class can be viewed in the video section.
