D&T - Making Moving Animals15 July 2024 (by Mr Scott (meerkats)) |
In our D&T topic we have been looking at linkages, levers and mechanisms with the end goal to create and design our own moving animals. On Friday we spent the morning creating these, we made our linkages to attach to our moving animal. We designed our animal and carefully cut out each section. This was quite tricky to cut the detailing out! We used split pins as the pivot to attach the parts together. Then we needed to put our linkage system onto the animal to make it move using the levers. Our completed animals look fantastic!
