LC: To design a prototype of a frame that will be strong and stable using cardboard.
STEP 1 – Measure and Cut the Frame Pieces
Pupils measure and mark:
Vertical posts (2):
-
20 cm long
Top and bottom bars (2):
-
30 cm long
Diagonal struts (2):
-
22 cm long (approx. – exact length can be trimmed)
👉 Teacher tip:
Demonstrate measure → mark → double-check → cut
STEP 2 – Make the Base (Stability)
Measure and cut base:
-
30 cm × 8 cm rectangle (cardboard or foam board)
Fix the vertical posts:
-
Glue the two 20 cm posts upright at each end of the base
-
Leave 2 cm from the edge to prevent tipping
📌 This wide base is a key engineering feature
STEP 3 – Build the Frame Shape
-
Glue the bottom horizontal bar between the two vertical posts
-
About 2 cm above the base
-
-
Glue the top horizontal bar across the top of the posts
🟦 At this stage, the frame will wobble — this is intentional and good for learning.
STEP 4 – Strengthen the Frame
Add diagonal struts:
-
Glue one diagonal from bottom left → top right
-
Glue the other from bottom right → top left
Add gussets (corner triangles):
-
Cut 4 triangles, approx. 5 cm × 5 cm
-
Glue into each corner
