Explain to students that they will be
testing different types of glue adhesion
with wood in respect to weather
exposure. Conduct a class discussion
regarding different aspects of the
weather that may contribute to glue
adhesive failing. Direct learning towards
o Rain - water
o Sun - heat

4 different types of wood work glues will
be handed out, students to check the
labelling and safety requirements:
o PVA
o Polyurethane Glue
o Super Glue
o Epoxy

Students are to take scrap timber from
the recycling bin and in groups use the
different types of glue to join the timber.
Once glue has dried, students may
commence testing.

Testing will involve students running
water of the different glue points and
using the heat guns to test which glues
can withstand heat

Teacher will ask students which test
piece will perform the best

Students will be required to record their
findings in their workbooks and share
their results at the end of the activity.


Teacher breaks students into 4 different
groups to examine and analyse the one
test piece each and why the results
differed and what also could have
contributed. Guided response:
o Humidity
o Temperature where wood
was left to dry
o Dry times for each glue
differs
Students will be required to come back
and share their responses and what they
have found and collaborate with their
peers.
Teacher discusses what they have
found and how it relates to their project?
Which glue would be suitable for the
