YEAR 7
YEAR 7 STRAND
Students are learning to work in a workshop environment and to follow the Technology Department H&S code of conduct and guidelines. Students are learning about the proper use of tools and equipment in the workshop. Students are learning about types of wood and their properties e.g. organic wood Vs Man Made. Students are learning about the appropriateness of materials (wood - pine and MDF) and the appropriateness of this in the context of a given DT project. Students are learning about measurement and scoring - marking wood in millimetres following a given brief. Students are learning to economise materials and in this way consider 'Sustainability' and the ethical and moral issues involved when designing and making a product.
AIM
Students are learning to cut wood to dimension and introduction to wood joints. Students are learning how to check for good fit and how to make necessary adjustments.
Research
Students will investigate other types of mechanisms and works produced by paper engineers and related designers.
Students will expand their research on paper engineers such as Robert Sabuda and others and apply the their experiences in their own designs.

Exhibition. Only shortlisted students A final design will reflect on the level will be selected to reflect the market of planning and effort deployed. A trends and industrial standards. There final design will speak for it self in will be a 'Wall of Fame' in G22 or in terms of quality and accuracy. the corridor to show case best work.
Students will learn to plan the stages needed to design a three page book: Stage 1: Open Mouth Pop Up Stage 2: The Layer Pop Up Stage 3: The Monster Pop Up Stage 4: The Script Stage 5: The Front and Back covers Stage 6: Putting the book together.
Students will learn to economise card and resources e.g. colours. Also they will learn to simply process e.g. colouring instead of paint to economise resources and time.
Students are learning to Sand and smooth surfaces, including how to fill gaps in comb joints.
Students are learning to mark & cut base and lid for box, including gluing the base and sides to construct a box design. Students are also learning to complete the types of production pages in booklet, including the design for the lid .
Students will learn about the correct use of tools and Students will learn to make crucial Students will learn about the Students will learn the H&S issues Students will learn about the correct equipment to cut wood e.g. the decisions on improvements and the importance of sanding and involved in 'COSH' substances such as use of tools and equipment to mark Tenon saw, the belt sander, etc. H&S implications of these on their smoothing to avoid nasty issues PVA Glue. Students will learn on the wood e.g. the try square, the metal Students will learn about the H&S final product. Students should make such as Splinters, which are rather right way of using materials and ruler, etc. requirements of using complex sensible decisions weather there is a painful. hazardous substances processes such as chisels, to need/gap for improvements. create a wood joint (Lap Joint).
Students will learn to use, select the appropriate tools and equipment in each Pop Up page,
Students will learn to make final decisions in terms of polishing and smoothing. Testing and evaluation on the go including peer assessment is essential.
Students will learn to evaluate their Students will learn to complete a final final product and recorded evidence evaluation of their outcome. Testing to substantiate decisions taken and evaluation including QC and QA through an active testing and should be part of the making of a final evaluation process leading them to a piece. final outcome.
Students will learn to reflect on the sustainable aspects of a final Students will learn to visualise the piece/product. They should be able to Sustainable aspects of their products reflect on the Six Rs of sustainability: and methods of production used to Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, help them reflect on best practices. Recycle, Repair.
Quiz will contain questions on the knowledge learned this term. Achieving below 80% will require a re-sit and support will be given through free private tuition classes.
Students should be able to speak with confidence about final evaluations and the relevance of 'Third Party Testing' toward further/future product improvements. Students should also be able to speak about the sustainable issues in what they did and achieved in this unit.
