3 ELS710 WOOD AND METAL CRAFTERS 3 The purpose of this course... STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This course is aligned with the (NJSLS for New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Technology Education, Engineering, Design, and Computational Programming) and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Technology (NJSLS for Technology) (along with any others that may apply). The metals and woods crafters curriculum is a quarter course designed for 7 th grade middle school students. The program emphasizes design, problem-solving and hands-on experiences. Activities focus on the proper and safe use of hand tools, power tools, stationary power tools as well as the skills associated with each. All projects have a problem-solving component. The metals portion of the curriculum allows the beginner students to experience measurement on paper and in practice. Further emphasis is placed on reading and understanding project plans, as well as basic layout techniques for use in class projects. Emphasis is placed on safe use of hand-held power tools. Further, one in-class project involves students working alone or in pairs on the design and construction of an egg-saver. This activity involves utilizing research of common structural shapes in engineering, selecting an appropriate design modeling, a prototype, and finally fabricating an actual project from materials and processes already used in class. This woods portion of the curriculum is designed to teach students how to measure a variety of objects, identify proper safety procedures and learn the appropriate use of several tools. The students will also demonstrate their ability to use mechanical drawing techniques to design innovative solutions to problems. The project component requires that students will select the proper tools to construct a project (solution) for a given problem. They will then communicate their results in either an oral or written presentation. Separately we assess students to gauge progress and inform instruction. Benchmark assessments for students in grades 6 through 8 are administered once per quarter.

4 ELS710 WOOD AND METAL CRAFTERS 4 THE LIVING CURRICULUM Curriculum guides are designed to be working documents. Teachers are encouraged to make notes in the margins. Written comments can serve as the basis for future revisions. In addition, the teachers and administrators are invited to discuss elements of the guides as implemented in the classroom and to work collaboratively to develop recommendations for curriculum reforms as needed. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION During the development of this course of study, particular attention was paid to material, which might discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, or creed. Every effort has been made to uphold both the letter and spirit of affirmative action mandates as applied to the content, the texts and the instruction inherent in this course. MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTATIONS For guidelines on how to modify and adapt curricula to best meet the needs of all students, instructional staff should refer to the Curriculum Modifications and Adaptations included as an Appendix in this curriculum. Instructional staff of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) must adhere to the recommended modifications outlined in each individual plan.

The container should be built to withstand the maximum possible overhead load (compression) Design Specifications: Research and Investigation: Generate Alternative Solutions: Choose the Best Solution: Build the Solution: Testing and Evaluation: Re-Design: Provided by your instructor in class Using the teacher-supplied handouts, determine how best to design strength and resistance into the egg container. On the given sheet, sketch three different eggsaving design that could be built in the shop. From the three sketches, choose the one that you think will work the best in the given situation, based on your prior research. Create an oak tag model (prototype) of your chosen solution. Examine how each component will be approximately fastened, then re-do the design with sheet metal. As a class and with instructor assistance, test your egg saver to failure, adding weight to a platen fixed over the top of the container; record your results. Note and sketch what chances you would make to your project if you were assigned to do it over again.
