John Paul II High School
Level 1 Materials Technology
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Ching.
Students are required to develop and make a project for an authentic context using one or more hard materials such as wood, metal, acrylic.
This requires students to use basic procedures using resistant materials in a manner that economises time, effort, and materials to make a specified product, for example, a study desk. The project will draw upon the student’s interests, cultural background, and local environment and meet their or a selected stakeholder’s needs.
The skills developed in this course are:
- Brief Development
- Planning
- Research including knowledge of local materials and their historical use
- Design Development
- Traditional and contemporary techniques and how they relate to each other
- Project Construction
- Testing and evaluation
They develop portfolios of work that include planning, research, design, production of a solution, and evaluation. At least the first term will be spent on written research, planning, and design.
Note that Level 1 Materials Technology and Food Technology share the same standards so students can choose only one of these subjects.
