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.
