Create a foldable football goal

In this activity pupils design and make a model of a foldable goal for use on the Moon, as part of a lunar league football game. They will consider the issues with playing football on the Moon and how to transport equipment to it, with the aim to design and make a model of a goal that could be folded into a tube for transport, then opened up and used.

This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach about understanding and designing collapsible structures. It could also be used as part of wider scheme of learning focussed on the engineering challenges presented by space travel and living on the Moon.
