Working with Products and Applications at Key Stages One and Two
This collection includes four trial units of work developed by the Nuffield Foundation to support their Primary Solutions resource.
Each unit within this collection includes lesson by lesson teaching guidance, a listing of new vocabulary, a description of links to other subjects and full details of resource requirements.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Products and Applications at Key Stage One: Some Small Tasks for Looking At Hats
One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. In this unit, children explore when and why hats are worn: as parts of uniforms or for protection, for example. Children also begin to make annotated drawings, begin to consider procedures for manufacture and, through talk and simple research,…
Products and Applications at Key Stage Two: a Collection of Small Tasks for Looking At Simple Tools
One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. In this unit, children examine different every day tools, such as potato peelers. The aim of the task is to examine how a number of tools are used and consider how they could be designed differently.
Products and Applications at Key Stage Two: a Collection of Tiny Tasks for Evaluating Food
One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. Children consider testing proceedures to evaluate what food they like and don't like. Testing food products requires a more subjective response than the testing of other products. It is important to develop a considered view of why one food…
Products and Applications at Key Stage Two: a Small Task Looking At Containers
One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. In this unit, children examine containers of varying sorts, their contents and why they are the shape they are - everyday items. Use questions to guide the students' thinking about the purpose and possible uses for a number of different containers.
Products and Applications at Key Stage Two: Finding Out about Products
One of the trial units from the Nuffield Primary Solutions in Design and Technology. In this unit, teachers can examine what children already know about a particular sort of product, some of the values they have with regard to the product and set the scene for them to find out more.
