Overview
The basketball game project is an introductory materials processing project designed to enhance students' ability to follow directions and measure accurately, as well as to teach students how to read technical drawings and how to use a variety of common woodworking machines and tools. In the sixth-grade class, students primarily use hand tools. This project will introduce students to various machines, including the belt sander, drill press, jointer, miter saw, planer, and table saw. Students will use separating, assembly, and finishing processes to transform rough-cut lumber into a final product. The plans and the grading rubric for this project can be viewed below.
