KS1 Drawing | Designs and Plans

Design/Technology Quiz - Designs and Plans (Questions)

This quiz addresses part of the requirements of the National Curriculum KS1 Design and Technology for children aged 5 and 6 in years 1 and 2. Specifically it looks at making and drawing simple designs and plans. It is one of 10 quizzes to help you with designing and making useful things, and finding out about how things are made.

Before making something you need to have a design. A design helps you decide what something will look like, how large it will be, and what it will be made from. There are lots of different ways to do a design - drawing plans with a pencil and paper, using a computer, doing a display, or building a simple model. You might even design a new logo.
