This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
Pupils learn about biomimicry and innovation. They will learn how to use sources of inspiration to create a range of ideas for a product encouraging children to grow vegetables. The pupils will develop ideas and manufacture a prototype. Variation allows for different material outcomes.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to prepare an orthographic projection of your design.
Key Notes
- Orthographic projections are used to communicate designs accurately.
- Orthographic projections are to scale, show multiple views and the dimensions of the design.
- Orthographic projections can be used to inform manufacturing.
Vocabulary To Learn
- orthographic: represents a 3D object in 2D, where views are projected from the object's surface.
- 3rd angle: a type of orthographic drawing
- construction lines: guidelines used in drawings
- dimensions: numerical values that specify the size
- scale: a ratio of full size
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Orthographic projections are completed after manufacture.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Orthographic projections are used to communicate designs accurately. Orthographic projections are to scale, show multiple views and the dimensions of the design.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'orthographic'
represents a 3D object in 2D, where views are projected from the object's surface.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Orthographic projections are completed after manufacture. Correction: Orthographic projections are known as a working drawing. These are sent from a designer to a manufacturer before manufacturing to enable them to manufacture the product or component.
