Mock ups & Prototype practical & theory

This is designed to simulate an NEA project, where students will research, design, model, and prototype and evaluate a 3D printed object for a specific target market. This lesson focusses on Styrofoam modelling, creating a more ergonomic handle for a tactile object. The students really enjoyed this lesson and also it is relatively easy to conduct especially under current circumstances.

PowerPoints:
This lesson is driven by a high end, attractive and informative power point, which has detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter(‘To do’), main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included.

Learning Outcomes:

• Students will gain an understanding of how to:
• Students will gain an understanding of the difference between Mock ups & Prototypes and what they are: Used for & Made of
• Practical: Watch the animation, follow school health and safety guidance, measure, mark out and make mock up models!
• Students consider ergonomics by testing and applying quality control to the mock up model throughout practical, to consider how a client with arthritis can hold their toothbrush more comfortably
• Links to NEA

Lesson plan:

A Lesson plan is also included as a MS Publisher file. This explains the: learning outcomes, starter, main and plenary activities as well as resources required and homework.

Work sheets:

These are mainly PPT files, but the final evaluation is MS Publisher, which is differentiated in the form of sentence starters.
