Building Vehicles With Wheels and Axles
Year 1 Design and Technology How Do Wheels Help Things Move?
Vocabulary Challenge!
Let's review our special words: Wheel - the round part that rolls Axle - the rod that goes through the wheel Chassis - the main body of our vehicle Rotate - to turn around and around
Why Do We Need Wheels?
Think about moving a heavy box Would it be easier to push or roll it? What happens when we add wheels?
What We're Building Today
Our own moving vehicle! Using real wheels and axles A cardboard chassis (body) Test how well it rolls
Safety First!
Use scissors carefully Ask for help with the wooden rods Keep our workspace tidy Wear aprons to protect clothes
Step-by-Step Building Guide
Test Your Vehicle!
Gently push your car forward Watch how the wheels rotate Does it roll smoothly? What makes it move better?
Amazing Work Today!
You are all engineers! You built real wheel and axle mechanisms Your vehicles can actually move because of what you learned
