Design and Technology : Structures

We have been learning to

       Describe what a shell structure is and describe what makes an effective helmet.

• Design a helmet for a specific user by choosing appropriate features.
• Explain layering techniques used to strengthen a helmet.
• Use layering techniques to make a helmet and reflect on the process.
• Evaluate the strengthening required in the helmet and justify appropriate strengthening techniques.
• Follow a design plan and use appropriate techniques to strengthen and stiffen the helmet.
• Communicate with peers when making improvements.
• Analyse helmets’ strengths and weaknesses and evaluate how they work for their purpose
