| Summary |
Why do we put food into containers? And why are these containers all so different? The need to match the package to the product is explained and illustrated using a range of different foods. We visit several food production and packaging plants and see the care taken to ensure the products reach consumers intact. Children also design and make containers for biscuits to sell at their fund-raising stall. Their creations show that there's no shortage of ways to box biscuits!Meanwhile, Flyn is busy making Dodly a lunchbox - but has Dodly really understood the need to put food in a proper container?This 12-part series adopts an investigative approach that helps children to recognise and understand the use of technology around them. Each 15 minute program explores one topic examining how different designs have been created to meet the demands of different users in varied situations. A narrator encourages young viewers to think about the things people have considered when designing technology to meet particular needs.Two monster puppets, Dodly and Flyn, also tackle problems relating to topics, and often come up with some highly imaginative, and sometimes impractical, solutions. These segments reinforce the need to plan a design before making a product.The programs also include children talking about their own designs and ideas and the decisions they have made during the process |
