A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Design and Technology (D&T), Year 5, Structures - Bridges.
This resource is designed to support the pupils as they explore the design and construction of different types of bridges. It introduces key vocabulary such as arch, suspension bridge, tension, compression, and reinforcement, helping the pupils develop an understanding of structural engineering principles. The pupils will also learn about forces that affect structures, such as push, pull, and gravity, and how different designs distribute weight effectively. It is perfect for consolidating essential knowledge and fostering creativity by allowing the pupils to design and build their own bridge models.
