construction of a chicken coop. In groups photos, grid paper ST3-5WT, ST3-14BE Utilising skills and knowledge gained from Mathematics, Science and Technology, log book students design a 2D plan, on grid paper, of the outdoor ‘bird’s eye view’ Simon Taylor – learning area, with emphasis on the placement of their chicken coop. Technology teacher Using isometric grid paper students draw a 3D design of their chicken coop. Plan EPS must include all elements identified in the design criteria. computers-google In technology lab, students use computers to transfer drawn design to Google sketch up Sketch Up. In class building materials eg ST3-5WT, ST3-14BE cardboard, paddle pop Class review, discuss and evaluate functionality of 3D designs. Do they fit the sticks, balsa, plastics, criteria? What elements of the designs do not work? What could be hot glue guns, tacks, improved/modified? split pins mesh fabric etc In groups Not applicable ST3-5WT, ST3-14BE Students modify plans. Students construct 3D model of coop design. Students to gather suitable materials to build their design. Whole stage community members of ST3-5WT, ST3-14BE Eden Men’s Shed, Display all completed designs with peer assessment of final product by using the parents established design criteria. Eden Mitre 10 Select winning model and suggest improvements. Eden Waste and Recycling Depot Collaboration with Community Not applicable ST3-5WT, ST3-14BE With the expertise and of the community members of “hands on” assistance Eden Shed and parents we BUILD THE COOP!
