The inclusion of technology among the National Curriculum foundation subjects is an exciting, but somewhat daunting challenge for primary teachers. Design and Technology in the Primary School aims to provide teachers and student teachers with examples of a range of design and technology activities and with some guidance on curriculum planning in this area. Case studies, drawn from classes at all ages from four to twelve, show how teachers with little or no previous experience of work in this field can use their existing knowledge of materials and processes to develop successful projects in design and technology. Mindful of the considerable time constraints under which teachers operate at the moment, the authors show how work in design and technology can be linked with other subjects across the curriculum, both in class projects and whole school topics.

Looking at education in and beyond school, Solomon considers the different meanings of energy and its effect on language and personality, the ancient and topical, cognitive growth and personal values, practical technology and abstract theory, the world of citizens and the world of schools. She highlights, through a range of practical examples, the difficultes in teaching about the concepts of energy and the problems facing school pupils who have to tackle the concept of energy in the everyday world and relate this to school text-book physics.

In 1968, the biggest passenger jet the world had ever seen premiered in Everett, Washington. The giant plane was called the Boeing 747, but reporters named it "the Jumbo jet." There was only one problem. It couldn't fly. Yet. Jumbo details the story of the world's first wide-body passenger jet, which could hold more people than any other jet at the time. The Boeing 747 introduced new technologies to the aviation industry and played a pivotal role in middle class families affording travel overseas. With an innovative design, the Jumbo jet took its first flight on January 22, 1970, taking passengers from New York to Paris in seven hours.
