Stage Four: Pupils introduced to the design of a thermometer. A number
of rough designs will be dawn by the pupils. The pupils will share and discuss the designs in small groups. Key terminology will be discussed. Each group will select what they consider to be the best and a spokesperson will explain their selection to the rest of the class. The pupils will be shown how to set out a A3 design sheet., presentation will be discussed. The pupils will start the design sheet. |
L. Discussion of each others rough
designs. Key terms explained. ICT. Internet research on thermometers. N. Measurements for the layout of the design sheet discussed and demonstrated. C. Pupils listen to each others views on a range of designs HWK. Complete the design sheet. £1 brought in for manufacturing of final design |
Extended internet research. |
ICT
access. Drawing and writing equipment. Sample design sheets. |
|
Stage Five: The pupils will produce the final design for the making of
the thermometers. This will be translated into paper / card templates. The templates will be drawn to scale and used to cut out the shapes from the ‘smart foam’. Emphasis will be placed on marking out the templates accurately. Safety in the use of cutting equipment discussed |
N. The template measurements /
proportions will be discussed. Accurate marking out and cutting. Use of
templates C. The importance of recycling and the environment discussed. HWK. Spelling test |
Consider improvements to the selected design. Drawn an improved design. | ICT
access. Drawing and writing equipment. Scissors. Tracing paper. |
|
Stage Six: Manufacturing of final product. The pupils will be shown how to put all the parts / components together to make an effective, final product. Digital photographs will be taken of all the products and these will be used for a final evaluation. Key issues relating to evaluating the thermometer project will be discussed. Pupils will present their own written evaluation - Improvements will be emphasised. |
L. Evaluation of a product. Key terms
discussed. ICT. Opportunity to produce the evaluation on either DTP or word processing software. N. Accurate positioning of parts / components for the manufacturing of the final product. C. Reduction of waste through the positioning of templates demonstrated. HWK. Catch up any outstanding work. |
Pupils to produce an evaluation based on the thoughts of relatives and friends at home. | ICT
access. Drawing and writing equipment. Scissors. Tracing paper. |
