© the Design and Technology Association All of these objects have moving parts. Can you work out what they are used for and how they work?

© the Design and Technology Association Levers These objects all have a lever to help them work. What do you think the lever does?

© the Design and Technology Association Levers and Pivots A simple lever pivots around a point. A pivot can make your picture move along a curved pathway.

© the Design and Technology Association Have a look at these items. Can you spot the moving parts?

© the Design and Technology Association Exploring Moving Parts When you are exploring, see if you can answer these questions: • What moving parts does the object have? • What does the moving part do? • How does it work? • What effect does it have? • Does it work well? Share you idea’s together.

© the Design and Technology Association Design Decisions Who is the picture for? What picture will they like? Which part of your picture will move? Which way will your slider move? What materials do you need to make the slider?

© the Design and Technology Association Design Criteria What do you think you will need to do to make a successful moving picture? • Draw and cut out a picture that is going to slide. • Fix a slider of your choice to an object that is going to move. • Assemble your scene and slider.

© the Design and Technology Association Evaluating my picture What do I like about my moving picture? Is there anything I might do differently when I make another sliding picture that will improve it?
