The bicycle is at the center of this interdisciplinary project which allows students to pedal from language and literacy to mathematics, passing through science and art education and improving their physical ability. The goal is to learn while having fun and to do this we plan a bicycle ride, record a radio program, calculate distances and times to design our own bike circuits, upgrade our bicycle with paint, become mechanics, and make sculptures with bike parts. 

• This is an interdisciplinary activity that has been designed to foster knowledge and skills in physical education, mathematics, language and literacy, art, and road safety 

This unit has a creativity and critical thinking focus

• Explore, generate, and play with unusual ideas and explain their strengths and limitations

• Make connections between concepts in a variety of disciplines

• Consider different perspectives and reflect on steps taken

Web and print

Other Resources

• Second-hand bikes, helmets, recycled bicycle components, vests, cones, spades, traffic signs,

• Computer, interactive whiteboard, etc. Recycled paper, paints, glue, and other materials, etc. Kits loaned from the Council (radio and bicycle repair), mobile exhibitions from the STARS project, etc. 

Opportunities to adapt, extend, and enrich

• Through teaching and encouraging the use of the bicycle, in an active, meaningful way the students can learn content related to all fields (machines, geography, periods in history and inventions, calculus, dimensions and geometry, oral and written expression, motor skills, road safety, artistic techniques, etc.). This could also be expanded by working in another language or including musical activities.
