Students explore key mechanisms and movement concepts, compare and contrast products, and learn to evaluate car designs by testing and communicating ideas using sketches and diagrams. Activities progress through researching, developing materials, making a chassis, designing, building a prototype, and evaluating, with links to electricity circuits and ICT programming. The sequence supports skills development across years 3 and 4.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":30,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/technology/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/design-and-technology-electric-cars-part-3-read-online-free/426880/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/design-and-technology-electric-cars-part-3-read-online-free/426880.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Miles","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-15","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How do electric cars work according to the unit content?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The unit states that electric cars are made with batteries and need charging points, and that power is generated to make the wheels move.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What skills are students expected to develop when designing an electric car?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Students plan and choose suitable materials, explore mechanisms for movement, use tools safely, and use annotated sketches and exploded diagrams to test and communicate their ideas.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How is learning assessed in the unit?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Assessment focuses on evaluating car designs, including questions such as how the electric car works, why a specific design was created, and what improvements should be made with reasons.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},426880,1791163429,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":29,"category_name":30,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":34,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":14,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":24},13056703019404,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","| Design and Technology: Electric Cars |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Vocabulary | Electricity, car, future, battery, circuit, wheels, chassis, axis, levers, gears, pulleys, design, similarities, differences, materials, suitable, effective, prototype, evaluate, strengths, improvements. |  |  | Prior Learning | Mechanisms and Movement\u003Cbr>Children created taxis as part of their Bright Lights, Big City topic:\u003Cbr>● Most vehicles that move on land have axles and wheels that are fixed to a chassis.\u003Cbr>● An axle fixed to a chassis has freely moving wheels.\u003Cbr>● A freely moving axle has fixed wheels. |  |\n| Know It: essential knowledge | ● Electric cars are important for the future to help climate control.\u003Cbr>● Electric cars are made with batteries.\u003Cbr>● Electric cars need charging points.\u003Cbr>● Cars (from different manufacturers) have different colours and designs.\u003Cbr>● Cars are designed and made in different shapes and sizes, depending on need.\u003Cbr>● Cars have engines that generates power to makes the wheels move. |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Think It: | RUAH |  |  | Oracy |  | Discernment |\n|  | Should we force others to look after God’s creation or should we encourage them? |  |  | Cars are polluting the Earth so we should stop making and using them.
