A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Design and Technology (D&T), Year 3, Mechanical Systems - Pneumatic Toys.

This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore how pneumatic systems use air pressure to create movement. It introduces key vocabulary such as pneumatic system, input, output, linkage, and pivot, helping the pupils understand how air can be used to power mechanisms. The pupils will also learn about exploded diagrams and thumbnail sketches as tools for planning and designing their own moving toys. This Knowledge organiser is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering creativity by allowing the pupils to design and build a pneumatic toy with moving parts.
