Lesson Plan for Senior Secondary 1 - Auto Mechanical - Braking System Iv

# Lesson Plan for Senior Secondary 1: Auto Mechanical ### Topic: Braking System IV --- ### General Information: - **Grade Level:** Senior Secondary 1 - **Subject:** Auto Mechanical - **Class Duration:** 90 minutes - **Instructor:** [Your Name] ### Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: 1. Identify the main components of a braking system. 2. Explain the function of each component within the braking system. 3. Describe the different types of braking systems. 4. Perform a basic inspection and maintenance check on a braking system. ### Materials Needed: - Whiteboard and markers - Projector and computer - PowerPoint presentation on Braking Systems - Diagram of a braking system - Real braking system components (e.g., brake pads, calipers, rotors) - Safety gear (gloves, goggles) - Handouts with keynotes ### Lesson Outline: 1. **Introduction (10 minutes)** - Greeting and roll call - Brief recap of the previous lesson - Introduce today’s topic: Braking System IV - Quick warm-up question: "Why is the braking system crucial in an automobile?" 2. **Lecture on Braking System (20 minutes)** - Use PowerPoint to explain: - The importance of a braking system - Main components: brake pedal, master cylinder, brake lines, brake pads/shoes, rotors/drums, calipers, and hydraulic fluid - The function of each component - Types of braking systems: disc brakes, drum brakes, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) 3. **Illustration and Demonstration (20 minutes)** - Display the diagram of a braking system and point out each component discussed - Show real parts of a braking system and explain their functions - Play a short video demonstrating the working of a braking system 4. **Practical Hands-On Session (25 minutes)** - Divide the students into small groups - Provide safety gear and components for inspection - Instruct students to perform a basic inspection of the braking components - Guide students through checking brake pad thickness, brake fluid levels, and looking for any signs of wear or damage - Ensure students record their observations 5. **Group Discussion and Q&A (10 minutes)** - Have each group share their findings with the class - Open the floor for any questions regarding the lecture and practical session - Clarify any doubts or misconceptions 6. **Summarize and Recap (5 minutes)** - Summarize the key points of the lesson - Recap important functions and components of a braking system - Highlight the significance of regular maintenance 7. **Assignment (Final 5 minutes)** - Distribute handouts with keynotes for review - Assign a homework task: Write a one-page paper on the importance of maintaining the braking system and common maintenance practices. - Provide a brief preview of the next lesson topic ### Assessment: - Students’ understanding will be assessed through: - Group participation and engagement during the practical session - Quality of observations recorded during the inspection - Responses during the group discussion and Q&A session - Completion and quality of the assigned homework ### Instructor Notes: - Ensure all students have access to safety gear during the practical session. - Monitor each group closely to provide guidance and assistance. - Be prepared to offer additional resources or support to students who may struggle with the practical aspects. ---
