May be useful for quick collaboration or sharing of ideas. Perhaps a useful tool for exit tickets.

Lesson Sequence Overview

bbpp1 — 2024-05-20 10:52:17 UTC

Students will have 9 weeks to research, design, create and evaluate a mechanical toy.

Constraints:

Students must only utilise the listed materials, in the dimensions provided.

Students may alter the materials where possible to fit their design.

For sustainability, students can utilise additional material such as off cuts and recycled materials.

The design must have movement created by the use of one or more simple machines: lever, wheel and axel, gears, pulleys, etc.

The lesson sequence will begin around week 2, after students have completed safety training, had inductions and been introduced to the assessment task.

This clip is a great way to demonstrate 4 different movements and how they can be achieved.

Lesson 2 Continued - Sketching Design idea's for a mechanical toy

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 05:41:42 UTC

Have students sketch their ideas using a free program such as Krita. This allows students the ability to be creative, without the "fear of failure". Similar to using mini whiteboards, the student has more control and test ideas and refine them.

Using digital programs, users can be assisted with the use of pre existing shapes, and brushes to create designs with ease.

Scaffolding can also incorporate the existing features, students with broken arms or mobility issues will also have more access to the curriculum, through the use of digital sketching programs.

Lesson 3 - Learning how to use Tinkercad

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 05:42:58 UTC

Students will learn how to navigate and create basic items in Tinkercad.

Lesson 1 - Creating a mood board

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 05:47:12 UTC

Introduction: What is a mood board? What are they used for and how do we make one?

Krita - digital sketching

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 08:08:55 UTC

Krita is a fee program for creating digital art. It is easy to use and access.

Steal like an artist.....

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 08:18:17 UTC

Help students see the difference between using ideas for inspiration and plagiarism.

Lesson 2 - Sketching designs, annotating

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 08:40:31 UTC

Introductory Powerpoint to demonstrate what is needed in a sketch, including examples.

Gartic Phone:

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 08:48:23 UTC

Help students get out of a creative rut and start taking chances by having them play gartic phone. Students will respond to prompts, practice fast paced sketching and idea ideation, in an engaging and collaborative manner.

Simple Machines

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 10:25:06 UTC

Explore simple machines and their use in society. How do they work? How can they be incorporated to create movement in our toys.

Lesson 4- Creating components and parts in Tinkercad

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 10:52:03 UTC

Create cams, gears and parts for the mechanical toy

Lesson 5- Exporting faces and 3D printing

bbpp1 — 2024-05-21 10:54:39 UTC

Learn how to export face files for the laser cutter and to create 3D printing files and print components.

I seen this on Mark Agnew's page and can see it will be very useful, so i scooped it.

Sharpen

bbpp1 — 2024-06-08 08:25:35 UTC

I scooped this from Damian Searles, as it may be a good tool to use to facilitate critical thinking skills.
