Year 10 ClockProject

YEAR: 10

SUBJECT: D&T

TITLE: Clock Project

OBJECTIVE: To introduce the pupils to design and problem solving in detail and a range of graphics techniques. The pupils will learn a variety of practical skills, suitable for the solution of design problems.

STAGE	ADDITIONAL SKILLS	EXTENSION WORK	RESOURCES
Stage One. Study existing clocks 1. Produce a rich picture with the theme existing clocks at it’s centre. 2. Discuss the needs of the client and present these on either the rich picture or in a separate analysis.	N. Layout of presentation sheet discussed (border and guideline measurements explained). L. Example client requirements read and discussed. C. Views of other should always be discussed, in this case the client. HWK. Complete graphical presentation of rich picture	ICT. Research into a range of clocks using the internet / CD-ROM	Clock CD-ROM Internet Access to Drawing/writing equipment.
Stage Two. Investigation and disassembly 1. Pupils shown an existing clock and mechanism and shown how it is assembled / disassembled. Methods of fixing the mechanism to a simple clock face explained. Characteristics of plastics FPT 1. Range of plastics explored. 2. Costs of a variety of plastics discussed. 3. Working characteristics / properties investigated and demonstrated where appropriate, FPT. Strength, toughness, hardness, density, stiffness, thermal conductivity, environmental resistance. 4. Pupils should consider the range of effects achieved through the combination of different materials and how these could be joined. 1. Vacuum forming demonstrated although this may not be a techniques used by the pupils at this stage. Emphasis placed on how this technique could be used for mass production. 2. Blow moulding covered in theory lesson.	N. Dimensions of clock mechanism explained. L. Instruction diagrams regarding assembly of clock mechanism discussed. ICT. Website reference for plastics properties and working of plastics. HWK. Pupils to present a materials properties table, drawn by hand or through the use of ICT.	Pupils to collect some additional information regarding the properties or /and working methods of plastics.	Clock CD-ROM Internet Access Drawing/writing equipment.
