Making Contact
This lesson aimed at upper primary links to aspects of sound, electricity and design and technology. Looking at how we use technology to communicate with each other, children think about how telephones work, from string-can phones to modern mobile devices. Provided with different scenarios children decide on which means of communication is most appropriate. They then think about how communication may be improved in these situations and how science can be applied to create new products to provide solutions to problems.
