PRESCRIBED
LEARNING OUTCOMES
It is
expected that students will:
- describe the characteristics
of wood and different methods used to process it
- identify and describe
defects in wood
- identify and select wood
species appropriate for a given project
- identify, describe, and
use abrasives
- identify, describe, and
apply common adhesives
- identify, describe, and
apply brushed-on and hand-rubbed wood finishes
- identify, describe, and
install basic hardware (hinges and knobs/pulls) and basic fasteners (nails,
brads, and screws)
- describe and demonstrate
initial material preparation
SUGGESTED
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
- In the context of constructing
a project, have each student:
- assemble project
components using appropriate adhesive and fasteners
- prepare surfaces
for finishing using appropriate abrasives
- install necessary
hardware
- apply finish.
- Give each student a piece
of wood (wood samples are of various species and sizes). Have each student
do a quick analysis of the wood and:
- describe its characteristics
- identify and describe
any defects
- identify the wood
species
- determine processing
procedures used
- suggest possible
uses for the piece of wood.
- Supply students with
a set of plans for a given project and an assortment of miscellaneous hardware
and fasteners. Have students select the hardware and fasteners required to
complete the project.
SUGGESTED
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES
- Assess students' lists
of materials required to build a specific project. Consider the extent to
which they have:
- complete lists
- selected appropriate
wood species
- selected appropriate
adhesives
- selected appropriate
finishes
- selected appropriate
hardware
- selected appropriate
fasteners.
- Following each student's
preparation of materials for a specific project, assess the student's effectiveness
according to the following criteria:
- sequence of machining
- use of a cutting
list
- appropriate machines
used
- economical use of
material
- material is appropriately
marked.
