Design and Technology (STEM) Controllable Vehicles Lesson Plans and Pupil Workbook, Electrical Circuits

This product focuses on the study unit area of controllable vehicles - electrical circuits, motors and pulleys - from Grades 4 and 5 (US) and Years 5 and 6 (UK).

Included are eight lesson plans of varying lengths taking the children on a journey through:

• research,
• gathering evidence,
• developing ideas for different techniques of control in electrical circuits,
• evaluating pulleys working in different directions,
• evaluating different electrical circuits for different purposes,
• focused practical activities for circuits and strengthening joints,
• building and evaluating models of their ideas,
• redesign based on outcomes,
• building final controllable vehicle,
• overall evaluation of vehicle,
• assessment based on initial objectives

As well as the lesson plans, a Student Workbook is also provided which guides the students through developing and reflecting upon their working through working systematically and methodically through the design and make process. It supports students in questioning them on what they have seen, understood, and how they can use this to further develop their own learning.

For further visual information, please see the preview which includes the lesson plans and the student workbook. INSPIReducation have used this resource in their classrooms to great effect. It has really structured learning and focused students on not just the process and purpose of the activities, but also on successful outcomes too.
