Project plans for making
Develop project plans that consider resources — materials, tools, equipment, time, cost and people — to individually and collaboratively make designed solutions
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Project plans for making means practising the idea at the table with a simple hands-on check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- Two everyday materials (e.g. ice cube / warm water / salt / spoon)
- Clear cup and paper for notes
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Ice melts in the warm cup: solid → liquid. Heat caused the change.
Optional challenge. For Project plans for making, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Project plans for making, not mastery.

Check understanding
- Create a project plan with a timeline of tasks and deadlines for making a designed solution
- List the resources needed (materials and quantities, tools, equipment, budget) and check they are available
- Assign individual and group roles, track progress against the plan and record changes made
“For a bigger project, can your child make a plan with a timeline, a list of materials and costs, and who does what — and keep track as they go?”
