Wooden Toy

Technology - Materials

Overview

The aim of this project is to encourage students to design and manufacture a product to meet the needs of a specific target audience. The students will need to demonstrate skills and knowledge in the following domains,

Communication

Design, creativity, and technology

Information and communications technology

Thinking

The student will have to justify, develop, implement design ideas utilising appropriate equipment and processes.

Demonstration of the design process must be clearly shown

Investigate  Design  Produce  Evaluate

Skills development and enhancement will be shown via the following processes.

Investigation

Drawing and sketching

Planning

Risk assessments

Marking out

Measurement

Mechanical applications

Hand and power tool usage

Time line management

Presentation

Evaluation

Design Brief:

You are required to manufacture a “Wooden Toy”

The primary function of this unitis to be able to be mobile

Constraints:

  • The Toy must be made from two different types of materials.
  • The Toy must be suitable for age group 5 to 10 years
  • The Toy must be no bigger than 350 mm in length.

Considerations:

  • The size and shape of the Toy
  • How to make it mobile.
  • The use of other materials ie…. Acrylic plastic, Fabric. Metal. Etc .
  • Paint colour eg bright ,flurosent.

Project requirements:

You are required to;

  1. Research examples of Door/drawer tables.
  2. Investigate timber joining methods and show examples of at least 6 different methods of joining timber together.
  3. Create a minimum of two A4 pages of research images. Each page must contain 10 images. (A total of 20 images are required).
  4. Annotate each research image a positive, a negative and an interesting observation.
  5. Produce 4 design options for side panels for your table. Draw one per A4 page
  6. Identify likes and dislikes for each design option
  7. Decide on a preferred option. Justify your choice.
  8. Produce a scale drawing of the preferred design option (using orthogonal drawing standards)
  9. Produce a finished product that matches the specifications stated in the design brief and include your preferred design for the side panels.
  10. Analyse your finished product against the original design. Identify areas for improvement
  11. Complete self-evaluation activity

Work shop Safety:

The workshop can be a dangerous place. In respect to this all workshop rules and procedures must be adhered to.

Complete Appropriate ON Guard Testing

No running or throwing of things in the workshop.

All equipment to be used in an appropriate manner as directed

Personal protective equipment to be used as directed

Tools and equipment only to be used when you have permission

Do not waste materials

Do not interfere with other students work

Report any accidents or damage to equipment to your teacher

Follow all instructions carefully

Task 1: Research:

  • Produce minimum 2 pages of images with annotations that highlight your likes and dislikes of the Wooden Toys that you have chosen. (a minimum of 10 images per page).
  • Investigate ways to make the Toy move . Show examples of at least 6 different methods. .

Task2: Design options:

  • Investigate other materials to be used as a second material. Give at least 4 examples where it can be used in the wooden toy.

Task 3: Preferred option:

  • Select a preferred option
  • Justify your selection
  • On an A4 page draw your preferred design option (use orthographic views)
  • Ensure that you show all relevant views that allow for all required dimensions and details to be shown
  • Your drawing should be to scale.

Task 4: Onguard Testing

  • Complete OnGuard Testing as required.
  • You must complete safety tests for all powered equipment that you use

Task 5: Manufacturing:

  • Manufacture your Wooden Toy unit to the required standard as specified in the design brief.
  • Complete a detailed list of the production steps your used
  • Complete a detail record of equipment you used
  • Complete a detailed risk assessment.

Task 6: Product test and evaluation:

  • Test and evaluate your finished product.
  • Check all sizes against the drawing and ensure that they are accurate

Task 7:

  • Self-evaluation task
