Learning Objectives
YEAR:
10
TOPIC/THEME:
Metalwork
Teacher Input
(Including Assessment for
Learning)
Pupils should be able to:
Understand the terms and safe working
conditions related to metalworking in a workshop
Understand, recognise and apply the correct
use of Metalwork marking out equipment
Understand, recognise and apply the correct
use of Metalwork cutting and filing equipment
Select the correct tools & equipment to achieve
best results.
Design solutions for suitable back plates in wood
or acrylic to suit the students chosen theme or
environment of the product.
Manufacture a MuSu to suit the environment of
the product.
Apply finishing techniques to metal sheet and bar
& Acrylic
Read / understand & Convert data from
Technical Drawings and the manufacturing
storyboard into realistic outcomes.
Evaluate they own designs.
Evaluate the final outcome based on accuracy
and tolerances, use of tools and equipment.
Make correct material choices for further projects.
Ensure project allows enough scope for
development
Extension material – some pupils may have
shown evidence of use of CAD ‘Techsoft /
LaserCam 2D’ in the development of their chosen
back plate design / theme.
The teacher will guide the
pupils through all aspects of the
project. Facilitating the pupil’s
progress. Individual tuition on
problem areas where
necessary.
Pupils will be assessed based
on the similar criterion as is
provided for Unit 4 & Unit 5 for
GCSE (CCEA).
Ensure that the pupils work
within a safe environment.
Instruct pupils on the correct
use of marking out,
Cutting, filing equipment with
Demonstrations as set in
teacher guidance package.
Pressing/ forming and shaping
sheet metal. (extension).
Guide pupils through their
design, manufacture and
evaluation of their project.
Encourage careers choices in
STEM Related professions.
Use of Techsoft and possibly
Lasercam 2D software
packages (extension).
Homework will be set and
assessed.

Assessment for learning
Formative – The teacher will
assess pupils at each stage of
the project.
Materials & equipment
theory will be assessed via a
on line test YacaPaca and or
written test /assessment
Design Problem solving
ability will be assessed through
design and development of
back plate on A3 pages.
Manufacturing ability will be
assessed throughout the
manufacturing process at a
variety of stages.
One to one positive feedback
on efforts made by students.

Self-Evaluate their choice
of processes and product
throughout the duration of
the project.
Assessment: Pupils will be
encouraged to complete
assessments according to the
agreed scheme. Assessments will
be moderated at departmental
meetings and recorded on the year
10 ‘Bromcom’ assessments Table.
ICT: a range of
ICT skills will be
developed as per
CCS
requirements for
level 6&7.
CA1: Design ability – generation of
product possibilities and design
ideas for backing plate.
CA2: Manufacturing ability:
completed ‘Musu’ manufacture with
in >1.5mm tolerances.
HW1: Homework exercise related to
completion of CA1. ‘Design ability’
HW2: Materials & equipment
questions ‘YacaPaca’
Technical drawing
understanding will be
assessed via student’s ability to
work independently using
student pack provided.
Completed and technically
correct working Musu Product.
Assessment for Learning: Formative, the teacher will assess each manufacturing
Thinking Skills: The basis of the project is to prepare the pupils for GCSE through
technique employed by the pupils with continuous formative feedback. All aspects of
a thorough application of work completed in Year 8&9. The nature of the topic is
the pupils work will be discussed by the class to prompt a fuller understanding of the
one of metalwork manufacturing through application of technical data & problem
requirements
solving.
Evaluation: There will be a specific evaluation of the product built into the topic. Pupils will be required to evaluate their work and the work of others throughout the course
of the project. Teachers will evaluate on a section by section basis and their evaluations will feed into the department team who will agree modifications for subsequent
years.
