Stage Four:
Pupils will continue to process their design. Those that have completed the
processing will manufacture using the CNC machine. A detailed demonstration
will be given.
Pupils will start to shape the back of their design using fretsaws and hand
tools. Demonstrations given on each technique.
The pupils will begin to record each stage of manufacture through a sequence
drawing. They will be encouraged to rough out each stage as they work. |
L. Pupils will list each stage of
manufacture as part of a sequence drawing. This will be aimed at potential
customers.
ICT. Processing and manufacture of
designs.
N. Understanding of the conversion of
graphic to coordinates.
C. An understanding of how important a
sequence drawing can be as a tool of explanation for the general public.
HWK. Complete at least three stages of
the sequence drawing. |
Look at an
instruction leaflet for a product of your choice. Evaluate it in terms of
ease of understanding.
List ways in which it cab be improved. |
CNC machinery
and software.
General workshop tools and equipment.
Drawing and writing equipment. |
Stage Five:
Flow charts will be explained and their use in organising the manufacture of
a product. The pupils will be asked to list the stages in order. Quality
control will be emphasised with an example flowchart shown to the class.
The pupils will draw a simple diagram of a Boxford Duet labeling the
important parts. Accuracy of drawing and printing - emphasised. |
L. Pupils will be encouraged to think
systematically regarding the manufacturing process. Stages of manufacture
listed.
ICT. Pupils will be encouraged to draw
flowcharts using graphics software.
N. Flow charts have a link to maths and
programming.
C. Production lines discussed and
working conditions.
HWK. Complete the flow chart and CNC
drawing. |
Draw the CNC
flow chart using a graphics package. |
CNC machinery
and software.
General workshop tools and equipment.
Drawing and writing equipment. |
Stage Six:
Product evaluation.
Pupils will be asked to explain two good points and critical points about
their projects. To the rest of the class. The pupils will mark their own
work and the work of others in terms of accuracy, aesthetics and colour. The
marks will be recorded in a table. The pupils will work out the total for
each pupil and the average mark. Marks will be converted to grades.
A graph will be produced relating to a selection of the marks/grades. |
L. Keywords such as aesthetics and
evaluation will be explained in detail.
ICT. Optional - some pupils may produce
the tables on a spreadsheet.
N. Data collection and interrogation
(average and totals) attempted.
C. Constructive criticism is a part of
life. The role of constructive evaluations in school and the workplace will
be discussed.
HWK. Complete data sheet. |
Pupils to ask
parents or responsible adult to evaluate their practical work. Findings to
be presented carefully. |
CNC machinery
and software.
General workshop tools and equipment.
Drawing and writing equipment. |
