In this video I have made the electronic part and am ready to make a box. I will use ways to decorate a boring cardboard box which you can copy at home!
New project – metal and electronics
Hi guys,
Here’s a new video for you to watch. It involves something that some of my senior phase pupils have tried – soldering. In this video I am making an electronic part which will make something work. Tune into this video to find out what’s happening!

Metalwork project – finished item!
Hi guys,
I went ahead and finished up the stove. I have attached some pictures for you to look at. Have a think about the stove and these questions;
How did it end up that colour?
Which bit do you think the fire gets lit in?
What would happen if I had made a stove out of wood instead of metal?
What other things are in your house which are made of metal? Try looking in the kitchen, the garden, maybe even in your bedroom. Why are they made out of metal? Why not plastic or stone?
Speak soon guys, stay safe!
Measuring and marking – Activity
Hello everyone, at last there is room on the blog! So here is a worksheet for the ‘measuring and marking’ video at the beginning of the stove project. If you can’t remember the answers, check back to the first CDT video. measuring and marking
