Grade 7 · Year 2Teacher Resource

Lego Engineers

Building on the design cycle introduced in Year 1, students tackle a more complex Lego engineering challenge — designing and building a structure or mechanism that meets specific performance criteria. Greater emphasis is placed on testing, iteration and quantitative evaluation.

Students explain the problem context, analyse existing engineering solutions, identify relevant design factors, and develop a detailed design brief.

Criterion A teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.

Students develop a measurable design specification, generate multiple design alternatives with justification, and select a solution with reference to the specification.

Criterion B teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.

Students construct the solution following their plan, document changes made during the build, and demonstrate safe and competent use of materials and tools.

Criterion C teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.

Students test the solution against measurable criteria, evaluate its performance, reflect on the design process, and propose specific improvements.

Criterion D teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.
