Cam Toys

In Design Technology, we have been learning about mechanisms that use cams. We then made our own cam toys. 

We learnt that there are lots of different types of cam (ask us about the different shapes and the movement they create). We then designed our own Greek-themed toy and chose the most suitable cam. We had to measure carefully to ensure the dowels were in the correct place and make holes accurately so our toy would work. We also had a go at sanding the dowels and figuring out solutions to problems that occurred.
