Moving Mechanisms is a Design and Technology project which allows children to explore pneumatic systems. Children will be tasked with experimenting with pneumatics before designing, making and evaluating a pneumatic machine that performs a useful household function.

Pneumatics

Our Project

 

Our design project was to "make a box talk" ensuring that the design criteria was met.  

 

Design Criteria

  • The mouth must open and close
  • Use a pneumatic system
  • Be finished to a high standard

 

 

We were all very successful with this project, working together to achieve the results.
