Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Ready-to-Use Design
-
These pulleys, constructed from 6mm-thick wood with a pre-drilled hole, ensure durability and ease of use on 5mm dowels, making them ideal for immediate application in educational settings.
-
Versatile Sizes
-
Featuring three distinct sizes – 34mm, 54mm, and 74mm diameter – these pulleys offer versatility in design and technology projects using dowels, catering to a wide range of activities.
-
Enhances Learning
-
By enabling children to explore mechanical concepts hands-on, these pulleys enhance understanding of forces and mechanisms, supporting effective learning.
-
Curriculum Aligned
-
Aligned with the UK curriculum, these pulleys support science and D&T subjects, making them an invaluable resource for teaching Key Stages 1 and 2.
-
Key Stage 2 Forces
-
Specifically supports the ‘Forces’ topic in Key Stage 2 Science, helping children understand how mechanisms like pulleys can amplify force.
Wooden Pulleys 10pk
Enhance D&T projects with these wooden pulleys, ready for immediate use on 5mm dowels.
Overview
-
Available in three sizes to support diverse D&T activities, these pulleys are essential for practical learning.
-
Our Wooden Pulleys set, designed for immediate integration with TTS 5mm dowels, includes three sizes: 34mm, 54mm, and 74mm. Made from sturdy 6mm-thick wood, these pulleys are built to last, providing a practical resource for a wide range of D&T projects.
-
Facilitating an understanding of ‘Forces’ in Science and ‘Technical knowledge’ in Design & Technology at Key Stages 1 and 2, these pulleys serve as a hands-on tool to explore how mechanisms such as levers, pulleys, and gears can allow a smaller force to achieve a greater effect. They also support the exploration and use of mechanical systems in products, aiding in the comprehension of gears, cams, levers, and linkages.
-
This set not only simplifies the concept of mechanical advantages for children but also encourages engagement through interactive projects. By merging scientific principles with practical applications, these pulleys are essential in inspiring creativity and a deeper interest in Science and Design & Technology.
Supports the National Curriculum
Science, Year 5, Forces
Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
Design & Technology, Key Stage 1, Technical Knowledge
Explore and use mechanisms (for example, levers, sliders, wheels and axles) in their products.
Design & Technology, Key Stage 2, Technical Knowledge
Understand and use mechanical systems in their products (for example, gears, pulleys, cams, levers and linkages).
