Litter picking legends!

11 December 2024 (by cdamigos)

This week in Design and Technology, we have designed, made and evaluated our own litter pickers to help keep things tidy! We developed our theoretical knowledge by learning about lever mechanisms, and how we could use them to create a product for us as the intended user. We took inspiration from existing products such as scissors, and used the Think, Make, Break, Repeat process to evaluate our designs and make adjustments to improve them. We developed our practical knowledge by making levers from paper, cardboard and finally wood, which we tested out in the playground, and they worked brilliantly!
