Children have been experimenting with frame structures in their DT project.

To begin with, children were given modelling clay and cocktail sticks to try and create some basic 3D shapes. They began with triangular prisms, cubes, tetrahedrons and square based pyramids. Eventually, children began to stack these on top of one another to create new structures and shapes. We experimented with which shapes were the strongest and how we could reinforce shapes to be sturdier.
