Unit 1A: Moving pictures

QCA
About this unit

In this unit, children develop an understanding of simple mechanisms through designing and making moving pictures. These can be based on characters or scenes from stories and could be designed for use in storytelling activities. Children develop their understanding of how movement can be created by investigating everyday products and making simple levers and sliders from given examples.

This unit can be adapted by using an alternative context for the children's designing and making assignment eg greetings cards with moving parts, simple puppets, a class book with moving pictures related to a class topic.
