Homework Project 3X

Subject: Science and Design Technology

 

In Year 5 the next topic is called ‘Forces in Action.’

 

Over the next few weeks we would like you to be a scientist and create your own Pulley system. You will need to design and label you pulley system first using pencil and paper then use materials to make a 3D model of it.

 

Things to consider when designing and making your Pulley System:

  • Shape
  • Size
  • Material
  • What will you be moving- weight

 

 

 

You may wish to use an I-Pad or computer to watch videos on u-tube on ‘How to make a pulley’ to support your ideas.

 

 

  • Plastic straws
  • Cellotape / masking tape
  • String / wool

 

You could use the following materials/items to make your Pulley System:

 

  • Cardboard
  • Fabric
  • Wooden lolly sticks

 

 

 

Please send your homework projects into school by  Friday 21st March 2025.

 

We look forward to sharing these models in class.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Year 5 Team
