The children were introduced to key concepts including levers, linkages, and pivot points. Through discussion and practical exploration, they learned how these mechanisms work and how they can be used to make movement easier. Pupils also considered a range of real-life examples, helping them to see how these ideas are applied in everyday objects and systems.

This foundational learning will support the next stage of their project, where pupils will design and create their own linkage systems. By applying their knowledge through hands-on investigation, they will develop both their practical skills and their ability to think creatively to solve problems.

We look forward to seeing the innovative designs that will emerge as the project progresses.
