For Implementation from January 1999

Secondary 2

1. Materials

wood Pupils should be able to:
identify the following types of solid wood:
chengal, nyatoh &kapur state their basic characteristics and uses. Display the common types of defects in timber and explain the causes of these defects

Show samples of the solid wood listed and discuss its basic characteristics and uses.

metals state the basic properties and uses of the following alloys of ferrous metals:

state the basic properties and uses of the following non-ferrous metals: pewter. Recapitulate knowledge gained in Sec 1 by getting pupils to deine the terms 'ferrous' and 'non-ferrous' as a lead-in to lesson.

Explain the composition and discuss the properties and uses of carbon and high speed steels.

Show samples of the non-ferrous metals listed and discuss properties and uses of these non-ferrous metals.

plastics identify and state the basic properties and uses of the following types of thermostes:

urea resin, phenoloic Show examples of the various thermosets listed and discuss d.their basic properties and uses.

Display articles that are produced using the common production processes listed.

2. Tools and Processes - marking out identify and state the use of the following tools: bevel gauge, protractor and templates.

Demonstrate the proper handling of these tools.

cutting identify and state the use of the following tools: abrafile, snips, hole saw, drill bits.

use the tools in a correct manner. Show the various cutting and shaping tools and explain the uses and care of these tools.

Demonstrate the proper handling of these tools.

Highlight safety precautions related to the use of these tools.

bending and forming use the followig to bend or form metals: jigs and formers

use the following for thermoforming plastics: oven, moulds, jigs and formers.

Demonstrate and explain the use of jigs and formers for bending/forming metals.

Explain the need to heat thermoplastics before bending/forming.

Demonstrate and explain how to use oven correctly and safely.

Demonstrate and explain the use of moulds, jigs and formers in the bending and forming of thermooplastics.

Highlight safety precautions related to each of the processes/equpment listed.

..

joining Join materials using the following: joints, knock-down fittings, soldering(electrical), pop riveting, fastening using screw threads, solvents, cements and adhesives. Recapitulate the terms 'temporary' and 'permanent' fastening/joints.

Display examples of the various joining methods and related to pupils' experience.

Demonstrate the procedure for the respective joining methods.

Stress safety precautions where applicable

3. Safety understand the common safety hazards associated with tools and processes listed above

practice safe work habits

stress safety precautions and proper handling whenever a new tool or process is introduced.

Encourage safe work habits.

4. Graphics - pictorial drawing draw in pictoial view using the following methods of projection: isometric, perspective(optional) Recapitulate the principles of isometric projection

Provide appropriate exercises for pupils to reinforce skill in isometric drawing.

Introduce perspective drawing to the better/ faster pupils.

working drawings prepare working drawings which includes: material lists, drawing in first angle orthographic projection and dimensioning. Show examples of working drawings.

Explain the need for a material list (parts list)

Show how a material list could be drawn up

Reinforce pupils' knowledge on first angle orthographic projection with appropriate exercises.

Demonstrate the correct way to dimension a drawing.

5. Design Activities and Practical Work

structured exercises identify problems

formulate design brief and specifications

generate and develop ideas

realise solutions using materials, tools and processes listed above.

evaluate final products Initially, allow pupils to choose form a good range of design problems to work on. teachers may use their discretion to focus on only 1 or 2 aspects of the design process.

Ensure that pupils have the opportunity to work through all the apsects of the design process in at least 1 project.

Encourage pupils to adopt a creative approach in solving problems.

Provide opportunities for pupils to experience working with the different materials, tools and processes listed.

Stress the importance of pride in workmanship when pupils are realising their solutions.
