Shelters
This design technology scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to select and combine materials and building techniques to construct a model of a survival shelter. The class can design and build a strong, stable and waterproof shelter model that can be used when stranded on a deserted island.
Select and combine a range of different materials and building techniques to construct a model of a survival shelter suitable for an island location
Lesson One : Building Materials
Identify, describe and compare some of the special materials that have been used to construct and expand different types of buildings and shelters
Lesson Two : Testing Shapes
Investigate, test and record the strength of a range of different 3D shapes that can be used when constructing a type of building with a specific function
Lesson Three : Structure Supports
Devise and test a range of ways of strengthening some of the special shapes that can be used for different structures and constructions
Lesson Four : Survival Shelter
Select and record how to construct a shelter that can be used for survival on a deserted island using a range of different materials and building techniques
Lesson Five : Shelter Construction
Select and model some of the special materials and techniques that can be employed when building a survival shelter construction to match specific success criteria
Lesson Six : Island Shelter
Complete the building of a survival shelter for an island location and evaluate and review the completed models against the selected success criteria
