| Subject | Applied Technology | Week | 7 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 2 |
| Strand | Metal Technology | Sub-Strand | ['Engineering Materials, Tools and Machines', 'Welding Technology'] |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 2.2.1.LO.1 - Develop and apply skills of heat treatment to a particular metal and perform operations using grinding, drilling, lathe and shaping machines 2.2.2.LO.1 - Apply knowledge of key processes and tools in welding technology and fabrication to carry-out tasks on sheet metal projects | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 2.2.1.LI.6 - Apply the principles of sand casting to produce articles 2.2.2.LI.1 - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key processes, tools and equipment for welding Explain basic metal forming processes with engineering products. 2.2.2.LI.2 - Demonstrate forging, rolling and extrusion operations in sheet metal. | ||
| Lesson Focus | Apply the principles of sand casting to produce articles | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: Apply the principles of sand casting to produce articles Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What knowledge, process or technical skill is required for: Apply the principles of sand casting to produce articles; Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key processes, tools and equipment for welding Explain basic metal forming processes with engineering products.; Demonstrate forging, rolling and extrusion operations in sheet metal.? How can this technology be applied safely and effectively in a real workshop, industry or community setting? What evidence, measurements, observations or technical principles justify the solution? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Group Work Discussion Collaborative Learning Experiential Learning | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Heat treatment equipment video clips/YouTube of heat treatment process Grinding, drilling lathe and shaping machines video/YouTube Educational trips Chart real object video clips Industrial visit Sand casting equipment | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Use real objects, models, diagrams, demonstrations and simplified technical prompts for learners who need additional support. Extend highly proficient learners with troubleshooting, design, comparison, calculation, evaluation or improvement tasks based on the same indicator. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability and mixed-gender grouping, rotating technical roles so all learners participate meaningfully. Where specialised workshops, field trips, software or equipment are unavailable, use curriculum-aligned models, simulations, videos, diagrams or locally available alternatives. | ||
| Product | Allow evidence through practical demonstration, technical drawing, model, artefact, report, presentation, circuit, design solution or written response as appropriate. Assess safety, accuracy, procedure, technical reasoning, collaboration and quality of the finished evidence. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Show a tool, drawing, system, product or workplace scenario linked to engineering materials, tools and machines welding technology and ask learners to identify the task or problem. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Demonstrate engineering materials, tools and machines welding technology using a diagram, tool, material sample, process chart or safe practical example. | Observe the demonstration, identify tools or steps and record safety points. | Ask learners to identify the correct tool, process, safety rule or design feature. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide learners to plan, measure, assemble, test, troubleshoot or evaluate a task related to engineering materials, tools and machines welding technology. | Complete the guided practical or analysis task while checking accuracy and safety. | Check the task for accuracy, safe procedure and clear explanation. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give a technical problem and ask learners to select a suitable method, tool or design choice. | Apply the method to the new problem and justify the technical choice. | Use a short exit task on choosing the right process or tool for another technical task. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise engineering materials, tools and machines welding technology and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
