Simple Machines is the main learning context but this theme can be widened to include ideas from our "Systems" and "Transport" super theme.
You can also get pupils to either work in areas that suit their "multiple intelligence" or "learning style" by selecting the appropriate activity. Remember, though that it is important for pupils to be exposed to a number of learning styles/ intelligences.
