Although the book was created with Scottish schools in mind we think it is an ideal resource for any primary school concerned with the teaching of design & technology. The first section deals with tools and materials, and illustrates various approaches to building common components, eg. frames, cranks and wheels. The major part outlines possible solutions to a wide range of simple design projects all of which are listed below.
