Explore a range of constructions materials & objects with moving parts. Use a range of construction materials & found objects to discover then solve engineering problems in my environment. Recognise & name parts & tools such as nuts, bolts, screws, nails, hammer, screwdriver, clamp.
 Use natural & man-made materials to explore simple engineering problems e.g. making structures & bridges outdoors. Name & talk about how simple moving parts work e.g. wheels go around, a see saw goes up/down (pivots).

 

Show how to build & de-construct a simple toy, machine or appliance.

Talk about how well a machine or construction works – share personal opinion & reasons.

 

Name & recognise machines, bridges & familiar structures. Recognise & name examples of engineering e.g. in the world around me & in books or online.
