Pupils needing extra support:

Should have access to the Resource: Generating ideas for a pneumatic toy to help come up with ideas; should be encouraged to keep their ideas simple so that they can focus on creating a high-quality end product; could have the opportunity to look through available materials earlier or repeatedly to support design ideas; could remove the time constraint suggestions on thumbnail sketches; should use the paper plate or hinged box and balloon mechanisms as these are simpler to achieve; could use the Activity: Designing a pneumatic toy: support version with prompts to complete the design criteria and outlines of simple pneumatic mechanisms to plan around; could use the Knowledge organiser to support diagram completion; could have the Presentation: Sketches and diagrams from Lesson 2: Drawing diagrams displayed to support their diagram completion.

Pupils working at greater depth:

Should be challenged to draw with detail and accuracy, labelling the parts and materials in their design; should consider the input movement required, airflow and output movement when labelling their diagram; could consider using pivots or linkages as part of their mechanism as this applies prior learning to the pneumatic mechanism.
