**Class:** Senior Secondary 3
**Subject:** Technical Drawing
**Topic:** Fasteners
**Duration:** 2 hours
---
**Lesson Objectives:**
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. Understand the various types of fasteners used in technical drawing.
2. Identify and differentiate between different fasteners such as bolts, screws, nuts, and washers.
3. Draw accurate and precise technical representations of different fasteners.
4. Apply knowledge of fasteners in technical drawing projects.

**Materials Required:**
- Whiteboard and markers
- Projector and computer for slides
- Technical drawing instruments (ruler, compass, protractor, etc.)
- Technical drawing paper
- Examples of real fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws, washers)
---
**Lesson Structure:**
### 1. Introduction (10 minutes)
- Greet the students and take attendance.
- Briefly introduce the topic of fasteners.
- Explain the importance of fasteners in mechanical assemblies and constructions.
- Outline the objectives of the lesson.
### 2. Lecture and Demonstration (30 minutes)
- **Presentation on Fasteners:**
- Use slides to show different types of fasteners:
1. **Bolts:** Description, parts (head, shank, thread), typical uses.
2. **Screws:** Description, parts (head, shank, tip), and different types (machine screws, wood screws, etc.).
3. **Nuts:** Description and types (hex nut, wing nut, etc.).
4. **Washers:** Purpose and types (flat washer, lock washer, etc.).
- Show real-life examples of each fastener and pass them around the class for close examination.
- **Technical Drawing of Fasteners:**
- Demonstrate how to draw basic views of fasteners (top view, front view, side view).
- Emphasize the importance of accuracy in dimensions and proportions.
- Show how to use appropriate line types and hatching to represent sectional views.
### 3. Guided Practice (30 minutes)
- Provide students with technical drawing paper and instruments.
- Distribute handouts with step-by-step instructions on how to draw different fasteners.
- Guide students through the process of drawing a bolt and a nut.
- Circulate around the classroom to provide individual assistance and feedback.
### 4. Independent Practice (20 minutes)
- Assign students to draw a complete assembly involving at least two different types of fasteners.
- Encourage students to apply the principles learned and pay attention to details.
- Collect drawings at the end of the session for assessment.
### 5. Class Discussion and Q&A (15 minutes)
- Review the drawings made by the students and provide feedback.
- Discuss common mistakes and clarify any doubts.
- Encourage a discussion on the application of fasteners in real-world scenarios.
- Address any remaining questions.
### 6. Summary and Conclusion (10 minutes)
- Summarize the key points of the lesson.
- Emphasize the importance of precision in technical drawing.
- Assign homework (optional): Research and draw two additional types of fasteners not covered in class.
### 7. Homework Assignment
- Ask students to research different types of fasteners used in a household setting and bring examples or illustrations to the next class.
