This week in Project Week part 1, the children have had the opportunity to design and create a cam mechanism and a toy in DT. They have thoroughly enjoyed this experience and had lots of fun.
Please take a look at their efforts.
- How did you make amendments to your design? Explain?
- What three BH values do you think were important when making your cam mechanism?
- Explain the process of how a cam mechanism works?
1.I made amendments by decorating the frame with blue tissue paper so it looks like the sea.
2.The most important values that we used are Teamwork Resilience and Brilliance.
3.The cam mechanism works by rotating the handle and then the follower will start to follow the movements and after that the topper should rotate og go up and down.
We used knowledge teamwork and imagination.The can mechanism work so there an topper on a stick the cam is on an stick and it jumps and spins.
We could make more attachments by making it look more better and cooler
2. What three BH values do you think were important when making your cam mechanism? The three BH values are Teamwork , Tenciy and Imagination. Oh and mrs janjua i am sorry what i said.

A cam is a rotating machine element which gives reciprocating or oscillating motion to another element known as follower. The cam and the follower have a line contact and constitute a higher pair.
