Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Applied Technology	Week	1
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 3
Strand	Automotive Technology	Sub-Strand	Introduction to Engine Technology
Learning Outcome(s)	3.1.1.LO.1 - Analyse fuel supply, air intake, exhaust, supercharger and turbocharger systems for both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) engines
Learning Indicator(s)	3.1.1.LI.1 - Demonstrate and apply knowledge in the working principles of fuel supply system for both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition(C1) engines as well air intake and exhaust systems Describe the main components of fuel supply for both spark ignition (SI). 3.1.1.LI.2 - Describe the main components of fuel supply for compression ignition(C1) engines
Lesson Focus	Demonstrate and apply knowledge in the working principles of fuel supply system for both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition(C1) engines as well air intake and exhaust systems Describe the main components of fuel supply for both.
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts.
Lesson Objective(s)	Describe the key idea in: Demonstrate and apply knowledge in the working principles of fuel supply system for both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition(C1) engines as well air intake and exhaust systems Describe the main components of fuel supply for both. 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: Demonstrate and apply knowledge in the working principles of fuel supply system for both spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition(C1) engines as well air intake and exhaust systems Describe the main components of fuel supply for both spark ignition (SI).; Describe the main components of fuel supply for compression ignition(C1) engines? 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
Teaching & Learning Resources	Applied Technology curriculum/reference materials Whiteboard/markers Learners' notebooks Relevant automotive models, components, charts or workshop objects where available
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 introduction to engine 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 introduction to engine 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 introduction to engine 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 introduction to engine technology and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response.
