SKILLS: The children designed a moving Superhero for a specific audience in accordance with a design criteria. They made linkages using card for levers and split pins for pivots. They experimented with linkages adjusting the widths, lengths and thicknesses of card used. They cut and assembled components and evaluated designs against the criteria.

To know than an input is the energy that is used to start something working. To know that an output is the movement that happens as a result of the output. To know that a lever is something that turns on a pivot. To know that a linkage mechanism is made up of a series of levers.
