Sub Day 11/18/13

Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students/committees must have technical drawings for their playground equipment completed and ready for modeling.

Technical drawings of their equipment should include the following

• Multiple views

  • Isometric

  • Orthographic

  • Exploded View

• Annotations

  • materials

  • purpose

  • view

  • descriptions

  • part names

  • color

• Dimensions

  • At least overall height, length, and width

Warm Up:

Students are to review their binder, check the design log, managers log, and discuss questions from other committees.

Tasks

Students should work in their committees to create their technical drawings. Students can use Google SketchUp to create 3D virtual models in addition to creating their 2D technical drawings.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Managers,

• Check students work. By now, each of your committees should be focusing on 1 or 2 pieces of playground equipment. Keep everyone organized!

• Identify errors on technical drawings and help fix them!

• Make sure you have documentation of students research (KWL)

• Make sure the Managers log and the design log is being used effectively!

Committee Chairs,

• Keep your committee on task. If you can not, record what happened and I will deal with it tomorrow.

• Make sure everyone is doing something! If someone is not working on something, find something for them to do! You can never have too much research/ investigation. Make sure they document their findings!

• Make sure you read the manager's log.

• You are responsible for making sure the design log is filled in!

General reminders and notes...

• Investigate! Students can be investigating and documenting their findings if they are unable to assist with technical drawings

• Multiple types of technical drawings can be completed.

• A Google SketchUp Model does not count as a technical drawing but can be created.

• Committees will be creating their physical model on Thursday and Friday. Any other modeling must be done outside of class.

• All documents for this project can be downloaded HERE
