1 Key Stage 2 - Design and Technology Project. Name - Class -

2 AT THE BOAT SHOW Learning Objectives: To know that boats are designed for different purposes. To evaluate boats and identify features that can be used for your own designs. Whilst at the Boat Show complete this spider diagram with as many different types of boats that you can find.

3 Boats use lots of different energy sources to enable them to move. What different types of energy sources can you see? Energy Sources

4 Can you label the different parts of this boat? Mast Sail Hull Bow Stern Keel

5 DRAWING DIFFERENT BOATS Learning objectives: To know that boats are designed for different purposes. To evaluate boats and identify features that can be used for your own designs. To make labelled drawings showing specific features. Look at all boats that you can see at the boat show and choose two different boats to make a labelled diagram of.

6 NOTES This page is for any notes or drawing that you wish to make whilst at the show.

7 BACK AT SCHOOL MAKING AND TESTING BOATS Learning objective: To investigate how different sized /shaped boats affect the amount of cargo they can carry. Which holds the most? PLASTICINE BOATS Using your lump of plasticine make it into each of the following shapes and test how much cargo it holds before it sinks or capsizes. Shapes Circular Square Rectangular Pointed The shaped boat held the most. I think this is because

8 TIN FOIL BOATS Next using the pre-cut pieces of tin foil make some proto-types boats to test. Boat size 10 cm x 10 cm 10 cm x 8 cm 20 cm x 5 cm 25 cm x 4 cm Cargo The sized boat held the most cargo. I think this is because

9 HULLS AND SAILS Learning objectives: To investigate how the shape of a hull affects the speed it travels. To design and test different sails. HULL SHAPES Do different shapes of hull or sail effect the speed at which a boat travels? Shape Number of seconds I found out that I think that this is because SAIL SHAPES Shape Number of seconds I found out that

10 MY SAIL DESIGN Learning objectives: To design a sail for a particular purpose.

11 MY BOAT DESIGN Learning objectives: To design a boat for a particular purpose. To draw up simple design specifications. To plan the stages of how to make the boat. Draw a label a diagram of your boat.

12 What is the purpose of your boat? (E.g. Fishing boat, Ferry or pleasure craft.) What energy source will your boat use? What materials and tools will you need to make your boat?

13 How will you make your boat? Step by step instructions. MY FINISHED BOAT. Draw a picture or stick a picture of your finished boat here.

14 BOAT EVALUATION Learning objectives: To evaluate my boat identifying strengths and areas for development (weaknesses.) To compare my finished product against the original design specifications. Does your end product (finished boat) look like your original design? (If no, why not?) Does your boat meet the design specification/success criteria? Which part of your boat are you most pleased with? How could you improve your boat? What have you learned from this DT project? Have you enjoyed this project?
