Inspired by Industry Lamb Industries, Inspired by Industry: Lamb Industries This context is designed to provide students with opportunities to explore accessible product design, focusing on gardening but adaptable to various applications. While no specific material focus, the emphasis on durable materials like metals, timbers, and polymers is noted for functional gardening equipment. However, students are encouraged to use modelling materials for prototyping and soft modelling tools for experimenting with organic forms related to comfort and ergonomics. The potential outcomes may be conceptual, such as modelled garden implements or storage systems, allowing for testing without full functionality. Students are...

Packaging – with links to Maths, Packaging – with links to MathsAge 7-9 yearsFirst published 2009 In this unit Year 3/4 children learn how containers are designed for specific purposes. They consider how the shape of the container will meet the needs of the product, which it will hold. Through it they will develop mathematical knowledge, skills and understanding when they draw and make nets of 3D shapes. They will develop their design skills when considering the shape of the container for practical and aesthetic reasons, and develop ideas by making initial designs in paper...
