Year 6

Lesson 5 Planning a 3D model

Curriculum > KS2 > Unit > Lesson

Learners will see how architects use 3D design to visualise and plan buildings and communicate with clients. They will explode 3D models of buildings to see what shapes they comprise of. Learners will then look at real world structures and identify the shapes that they include. They will then plan their own 3D building design, thinking about some of the ways in which real-world architects use these tools.
