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 |

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.
