Publisher's Synopsis
The "Into Technology" series is designed for progression and continuity in the development of technology skills. It offers teachers a progressive course across a range of contexts which children should find both relevant and interesting. The books may be used as a broadly-based, structured scheme, or as a progressive thematic scheme. It is also written especially for a revised and slimmer curriculum.;The series provides complete coverage of Key Stage 2 National Curriculum Technology and the Technology Attainment Outcome within Environmental Studies from 5-14, P3-P7. It consists of five pupils' textbooks: one for each year of KS2 (P3-P6), and a fifth book supporting P7 classes in Scotland, and more able pupils in England and Wales. There are also two accompanying teacher resource books.;The scheme's versatility allows it to be used in two ways: as a structured scheme where the activities in the book are used as the basis for one year's work; and as a thematic scheme where the activities relating to one context across the five books link together to provide a progressive topic.;This teacher resource book includes 30 photocopiable pages of additional activities, templates and record sheets. Each double-page spread represents one unit of work in technology which can span approximately one week. The left-hand pages focus on technology in society. The right-hand pages focus on design activity.
