Key Stage 3 Designing:
• Show using concept sketches how a
seed tray could be fitted to the Bird
Feeder?
• Add notes to help explain your
ideas;
• Research and collect two images of
Bird Feeders that use seed trays;

on each design collected;
• You may wish to model and test
your ideas using card;
• Note how useful or non-useful this
modelling experience was?
• Discuss your designs in groups of
