Unit 3D: Photograph frames

QCA
About this unit

In this unit, children learn about stiffening materials and making stable structures through the context of free-standing photograph frames. The unit uses readily available materials and examples. Children might design a product for their own use or as a gift for a particular user.

The unit could be adapted by using a picture or by making a frame to display a special piece of work.

This unit is an appropriate alternative to Unit 3A 'Packaging'.
