DT Work
6th February 2023
This term, Year 3E have been designing and making slingshot cars in DT. This is what we needed:
Materials:
- Wooden dowels
- Bottle caps.
- Drinking straws
- Paperclips
- Lollipop sticks
- Elastic bands
- Masking tape
- Glue guns
Method:
- First we designed the chassis.
- Next we made it by assembling the above materials.
- Then we made sure that everything was securely attached using hot glue.
- Finally we tested our slingshot cars by launching them to see how far they would go.
Comments by some of 3E pupils:
Arben- I enjoyed using the glue gun to fix my slingshot car and playing smash with Denzel.
Sofia- Racing together and sticking the lollipop sticks together was a lot of fun.
Liam- I enjoyed using a glue gun.
Ellenah- I loved how we made the slingshot cars.
Kuot- It was fun putting the sticks together.
Athena- I enjoyed racing and seeing which slingshot car would go the furthest.
We had a lot of fun as seen in the pictures below.
