The class can identify and explain the functions of any buttons that can be used when controlling the movement of each toy to produce specific events or actions.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to teach the children to investigate and describe different control methods that can be utilised when playing with and operating different battery powered toys
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain how to control different objects by using a range of buttons and a table display card to suggest how to control a battery powered toy by using different button presses for a range of specific functions and actions.
The interactive presentation gets the children to investigate different control methods that can be utilised when playing with and operating different battery powered toys
This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to select and record sequences of instructions that can be used to control and move a programmable toy along and around different routes. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
