**Grade Level:** Senior Secondary 1 (SS1)
**Subject:** Technical Drawing
**Topic:** Development of 3D Objects
**Duration:** 90 minutes
---
### Objectives:
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
1. Understand the concept of development in technical drawing.
2. Identify different types of 3D shapes and their corresponding development.
3. Create development drawings of simple 3D objects such as prisms, cylinders, and cones.
4. Understand and use the necessary tools for technical drawing effectively.
### Materials Needed:
- Drawing boards
- T-squares
- Set squares
- Compasses
- Pencils (HB and 2H)
- Erasers
- Rulers
- Protractors
- Drawing paper (A3 size)
- Examples of developed 3D shapes (prism, cylinder, and cone)
- Whiteboard and markers
- Overhead projector or large visual aids (optional)
- Scissors and glue (optional, for hands-on activities)
### Lesson Structure:
#### 1. Introduction (10 minutes)
**1.1. Greetings and Warm-up:**
- Briefly review the previous lesson. (2 minutes)
- Introduction to the topic of the day: "Development of 3D Objects." (3 minutes)
- Present the learning objectives. (2 minutes)
**1.2. Hook:**
- Show real-life examples or visual aids of developed 3D shapes used in everyday objects like packaging (e.g., cereal boxes, cans, and pyramidal boxes). (3 minutes)
#### 2. Presentation (20 minutes)
**2.1. Explanation of Development:**
- Define "development" in terms of technical drawing. (2 minutes)
- Explain why development is important in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing. (3 minutes)
**2.2. Types of 3D Shapes and their Development:**
- Discuss and demonstrate the development of a prism (rectangular and triangular). (5 minutes)
- Discuss and demonstrate the development of a cylinder. (5 minutes)
- Discuss and demonstrate the development of a cone. (5 minutes)
#### 3. Guided Practice (20 minutes)
**3.1. Step-by-Step Example:**
- Walk through the steps to create the development of a rectangular prism on the board, with students following along. (10 minutes)
**3.2. Students' Practice:**
- Allow students to practice creating development drawings of a cylinder, using provided materials and diagrams. (10 minutes)
#### 4. Individual/ Group Activity (20 minutes)
**4.1. Hands-On Activity:**
- Students will choose a shape (prism, cylinder, or cone) and create their own development drawing. (10 minutes)
- Optional: Have students cut out and fold their drawn shapes to create a 3D model. (10 minutes)
#### 5. Review and Assessment (10 minutes)
**5.1. Class Discussion:**
- Have students display their completed drawings.
- Discuss common mistakes and correct approaches.
- Students provide feedback on what they found challenging and what they learned. (5 minutes)
**5.2. Quick Assessment:**
- Distribute a short quiz with 3-5 questions related to development drawing concepts. (5 minutes)
#### 6. Conclusion (10 minutes)
**6.1. Summary:**
- Recap the key points covered in the lesson: the concept of development, examples of developed 3D shapes, and the practical steps to create development drawings. (5 minutes)
**6.2. Questions and Answers:**
- Open the floor for any questions. (3 minutes)
**6.3. Homework Assignment:**
- Assign students to create development drawings for another 3D object not covered in class (e.g., a pyramid or sphere). (2 minutes)

### Additional Notes:
- **Differentiation:**
- Be prepared to provide additional support for students who struggle with spatial visualization.
- Offer extension activities for advanced students, such as creating development drawings for more complex shapes.
- **Safety Considerations:**
- Ensure all students handle drawing instruments properly to avoid accidents.
- **Reflection:**
- After the lesson, take notes on what worked well and what can be improved for future lessons.
