Term 4 - Clockwork

Forces are all around us.

During this topic, we will take on real-life situations and investigate the impact forces have upon them. In this unit, we will explore air and water resistance through practical enquiries and discussions. 

Alongside, we will read and discuss the Philip Pullman text 'Clockwork'. From the master story teller comes a tale of gothic mystery as elegantly crafted as the most intricate clockwork. This will feed into our design technology work where we will create our own clockwork mechanisms.
