Year 4 DT - Torches

This week, as part of our Design and Technology unit, we had a go at making our own torches. We began by analysing different torches that are already available on the market. We then chose one of two pupils to make a torch for and created a design to fit their personal specifications.  We set about making our torches out of recycled materials. Using what we had learnt in science about electricity, we built working circuits with switches to fit inside our torch cases to make them light up. Once our torches were complete, we considered what went well and what we would change next time while writing some evaluations.
