Kia Ora..

This week we will start working on making our wooden weather vane project using different types of wood, tools and machines.

We need to understand what is the design brief development and related terminology

* Codes of Practice - Safe use of the Tech rooms and tools and the lathe

• Resistant materials

Learning Intentions: 

We are EXPLORING the terminology used in Technology Education 

We are EXPLORING the Codes of Practice that we must follow when working in the Tech Workshop.

Success Criteria: 

I have participated in a discussion about Technology and Tech Education

I understand the terms used in Technology Education

I can identify safe codes of practice to follow in the Tech workshop when using a lathe.

I can research Weathers Vane design ideas.

I can sketch my designs for the base of my weather vane.

I can write my design brief and specs of the weather vane project.

Activities:

1. Sketch an orthographic and 3d isometric sketch for your weather vane project base. Use a sectional cut to explain your methods of joining. Use isometric ellipses to show your unique design for the stand. Please label all of the components, dowels, screws, wood type we will be using.

2. Research different weather vane ideas using secondary research using youtube, google images and primary research of exploring different student exemplars.
