Adaptive teaching
Pupils needing extra support:
Could be shown the materials that will be available to make their torch from so they can consider them while they plan their design; could be given a list of suggested materials to pick from when designing their torch; should be encouraged to keep their design simple to ensure they have the time to create a quality product.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Should apply their findings from their Activity: Torch evaluations (from Lesson 2: Evaluating torches), adding specific features to satisfy their user’s needs; could be provided with a blank user profile to investigate and design for a set person of their or the teacher’s choice.
