Stable Structures: The Tower Challenge
✓ Progress tracked✕ Scores recorded✓ Auto-completes✓ Time on task✕ Download recorded
An interactive structures puzzle. The child picks a base shape, middle section and top section for a tower, then runs a “wind test” to see if it stays standing. Five levels of increasing difficulty teach the core KS1 D&T technical knowledge: structures can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable by choosing wider bases, lower centres of gravity, and triangular supports.
Wrong choices show WHY they failed (e.g. “the narrow base couldn’t support the wider top — top-heavy”). Hits NC requirement “build structures, exploring how they can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable” without needing physical materials.
