Lesson Plan for Senior Secondary 3 - Technical Drawing - Screw Thread

# Lesson Plan for Technical Drawing (Senior Secondary 3) ## Topic: Screw Thread ### General Information: - **Grade Level:** Senior Secondary 3 - **Subject:** Technical Drawing - **Duration:** 80 minutes - **Instructor:** [Your Name] ### Objectives: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Identify and explain different types of screw threads. 2. Understand the basic terminology related to screw threads. 3. Draw different types of screw threads accurately using technical drawing tools and techniques. ### Materials Needed: - Drawing paper - Pencils (H and 2B) - Ruler - Set squares - Protractor - Compass - Eraser - Example parts or models of screws - Chart/Handout with screw thread types and terminology ### Prior Knowledge: Students should have a basic understanding of geometric shapes and dimensions. ### Lesson Plan: #### Introduction (10 minutes) 1. **Greet the Students:** Briefly introduce the topic. 2. **Importance of Screw Threads:** Discuss the importance of screw threads in engineering and everyday applications. 3. **Objectives Overview:** Explain the learning goals for today's lesson. #### Warm-Up Activity (5 minutes) 1. **Discussion:** Ask students to share where they have seen or used screws in their daily lives. 2. **Real-Life Application:** Show different types of screws and bolts, explaining where each might be used. #### Direct Instruction (20 minutes) 1. **Terminology Introduction:** - **Pitch:** The distance between threads. - **Major Diameter:** The largest diameter of the screw thread. - **Minor Diameter:** The smallest diameter of the screw thread. - **Lead:** The distance the screw advances in one turn. - **Crest, Root, and Flank:** Various parts of the thread profile. 2. **Types of Screw Threads:** - **Metric vs. Imperial Threads:** Explain the two main systems. - **Common Thread Types:** Highlight Unified National Thread (UN), Metric Thread (M), Acme Thread, etc. 3. **Drawing Techniques:** - **Start with a centerline.** - **Draw major and minor diameter circles.** - **Show linear representation and helicoidal representation.** - **Explain the importance of proportion and spacing in technical drawings.** #### Guided Practice (15 minutes) 1. **Step-by-Step Drawing:** Guide students through drawing a basic screw thread. - Draw a centerline. - Sketch major and minor diameters. - Indicate the pitch. 2. **Group Work:** Have students work in pairs to draw a simple screw thread, providing assistance as needed. #### Independent Practice (20 minutes) 1. **Assignment:** Each student will draw a specified type of screw thread (e.g., metric thread). 2. **Apply Techniques:** Ensure they apply the correct techniques for drawing threads accurately. 3. **Peer Review:** Have students switch drawings with a peer and review each other's work for accuracy and provide constructive feedback. #### Conclusion (10 minutes) 1. **Review Key Points:** Summarize the terms, types of screw threads, and drawing techniques covered. 2. **Questions and Answers:** Open the floor for any questions from students. 3. **Homework Assignment:** Ask students to research and draw another type of screw thread (e.g., Acme thread) at home. #### Assessment: - **Formative:** Monitor students during guided and independent practice. - **Summative:** Evaluate the homework assignment for understanding of screw thread principles and drawing accuracy. ### Reflection: - **What Worked Well:** Reflect on which parts of the lesson were most effective. - **Challenges:** Identify any difficulties encountered and potential improvements. - **Next Steps:** Plan for any additional review or practice needed in future lessons. --- Note: Modify this template according to specific class needs or particular school guidelines.
