3J’s Oscillating Mechanism

This half term year 3 have been looking at Levers and Linkages in D&T. We made an oscillating mechanism which had a lever and an output. Our output moved from side to side. The output was a hybrid mythical creature inspired from the Egyptian myth Theseus and the Minotaur. We designed the output to help King Minos because he had lost the Minotaur from the labyrinth. We had lots of fun creating the mechanism even though it was a little bit tricky! We even got to design the background for the monster.
