       To explore, developand communicate aspects of their design proposals by modellingtheir ideas in a variety of ways

       To develop a clearidea of what has to be done, planning how to use materials,equipment and processes, and suggesting alternative methods ofmaking if their first attempt fail

Take is to designand make a storybook with moving parts. The pages of the book areto incorporate mechanisms

What type of bookdo they want to make
