BBC Teach | Design and Technology (D&T) | KS2 | How to make a structure stronger | BBC Teach @bbcteach | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
This film is an ideal tool to introduce pupils to the techniques that can be used to make structures stronger.
As they watch the film, pupils can give their own thoughts on why they think some structures are stronger than others.
They can also try to relate these ideas to everyday structures and objects, which will help them link theory and practice.

This clip is from the series Explain This...

Suitable for teaching Design and Technology (D&T) at KS2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 1st and 2nd level in Scotland.
