DT testing stability

Posted: Mar 22, 2024 by: A White (awhite) on: Year 2 Class Blog

Our DT project this term is to make a chair for Paddington. We have completed our investigation about how to make the chair stable today and the result was a fabulous and exciting lesson! We tested some different shapes to see how many books they could hold. Once we realised the best shape, a cylinder, we set to work making one that would be the most stable. We then tested these with books to find that a slightly wider cylinder would hold many more books. Then all the cylinders were taped together to see how sturdy they would be - they were so strong altogether that they could even withstand the being sat on!
