11TEC

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.
