What is CARGO?

Cargo is a KS2 Y5 & 6 Science & Technology teamwork activity in which pupils have to move ‘precious material’ (Magic Marbles) from the mine to the docks, where they are transferred on to ships and exported.

There are a number of problems to be solved which include the construction of a marble run, a controlled level crossing, a crane, and two electric railway systems. It is a large scale, hands-on activity which needs a large space, such as the school hall.

It incorporates elements of the QCA schemes of work in science and technology such as: conductors and circuits, controllable vehicles, alarms and moving toys.
