This week please complete the online document ready for assessment.
This assessment is about your use of planning tools to complete your pencil case project.
Make sure all parts of the document are completed from the brief through to the final project photo.
Time management is an important part of Technological Practise. Your planning tools must maximise your time and minimise the waste of materials and resources.
Your Gantt chart and key stages table need to be completed and the reflection needs to be written with in-depth explanations about how you over came problems and used your time and resources effectively.

Kia ora...and welcome to Week 2 of Term 2.
Unfortunately there will be no Tech classes this week.
On Wednesday you will come to W9 to get the roll done and then we will head to the gym to watch "Ugly Shakespeare". On Thursday it is Teacher Only Day.
Have a great week. I look forward to seeing you Week 3!

Welcome to Week 3
WALT: We will be learning about planning tools.
Planning tools
Planning tools help guide action steps to an outcome. For example, brainstorms, mind-maps, idea banks, reflective journals and scrapbooks, plans of action, Gantt charts, flow diagrams, graphical organisers, spreadsheets, and databases.
Mind Map
Idea Bank
Plan of Action

Welcome to Week 8
WALT: We are learning to use methods of joining to create our functional models for our tool box.
Success Criteria:
All joints will be completed in groups and analysed in terms of fit for purpose/durability , ease of construction and materials used.
TASK
We will make a series of test joints.
Butt joint
Finger joint
Dowel joint
Lap Joint
Use a table to compare the joints against each other. What is your conclusion? Write a brief conclusion which talks about which approach you will use and why?
Tests: tool impact test, drop test, water test and stain test.
materials: MDF/ pine/dowel
Material properties will be documented in photos and video.

Understand the basics of the Design Brief and purpose of modelling and testing
understand the purpose of a clearly written Brief and Specification.
Success Criteria: I can/have...
- explain why modelling ideas and testing them results in a better product.

NZC Strand: Technological modelling
Functional modelling and prototyping play an essential role to develop an understanding of the importance of both in technological development.
Student Name: Class:
The final project this year will be making a functioning model/prototype of a chosen outcome. You will be using materials,methods of joining and methods of finishing to make your outcome.
Task 1 – Writing my Product Design Brief and Specs:
Begin by answering all these six points:
1. I making a mock up/and prototype of..
2. I making it because...

Welcome to week 2
WALT: We are learning to test and record our functional testing results in our document.
Task 1: Scratch test on various finishes.
Task 2: Dent test on various materials MDF, Pine, Plywood, dowels etc.
Scratch resistance
The ability of a finish to resist damage from coarse or sharp objects is one of the most important qualities you’re likely concerned about.
To a large extent you can know the comparative scratch resistance simply from the category of finish. For example, oil-based polyurethane varnish and catalyzed lacquers are much more scratch resistant than shellac and nitrocellulose lacquer, and usually a little more scratch resistant than acrylic and polyurethane water-based finishes.
Task: Test the scratch resistance of various finishes.
Success Criteria
Record the information in the table of your document. -
Kia Ora Welcome to Week 3
WALT: We are learning to test our materials to select the most appropriate solution for our tool box.
Testing finishes (Scratch test)
Beginning with one of the softer pencils, hold it as you would for writing and push it forward an inch or two across the finish. Maintaining equal pressure, follow with pencils of increasing hardness until you find one that cuts into the finish. The hardness rating for that finish is the rating of the previous pencil – the hardest lead that doesn’t cut.
Water resistance
Another quality you may want is water resistance. All finishes are more water resistant the thicker they are applied. So testing won’t be very revealing except on thin finishes such as oil or wax, or any film-building finish applied with just one or two coats.
To test for water resistance, make up a sample board with the same number of coats applied in the same manner as you intend to use on your project. Then place a small puddle of water on the surface and cover it with a metal or glass cup or jar to prevent evaporation. Check every 10 minutes or so until you notice cracks or discoloration in the finish. Rate the finish at the most recent previous time before the damage occurred.
Glue Test (Adhesion)
