SPIKE™ Essential

Amazing Amusement Park

This unit introduces your pupils to engineering design skills. They’ll learn about the steps that are involved in defining a problem, brainstorming solutions and testing and refining prototypes to improve their ideas. They'll learn observation skills by gathering information about a problem and modifying a solution to meet others’ needs.

Your pupils will help a story character by using relevant facts and descriptive details to recount experiences. This will help to develop their collaborative conversation skills.
