Year+7+Teasmade

toc

**Introduction - Teasmade** Teasmade is a "starter" project for Year 7 and is designed to introduce you to the design technology workshops, and to use its tools and equipment. It is fun to make objects that are fully functional and teasmade is just that. Within 2 sessions you will have experienced the use of a wide range of machinery tools and processes and have a quality product to take home. During the teasmade project you will learn how to safely use a pedestal drilling machine, a disc sander use PVA to stick timber together and be able to identify a range of hardwoods and softwoods.

= Research = Using tools and equipment safely, health & safety in the workshop. media type="custom" key="23675002"

Identify a range of wood including the following: Which of the above listed timber are **"hard wood"** and which are **"soft wood"**? What is the difference?
 * Pine
 * Spruce
 * Red Oak
 * Ash
 * Beech
 * Jarrah

= Knowledge & Understanding = around the room: hazards in order of least dangerous through to most dangerous. You need to indicate why they chose this particular order. || Some of the equipment used in this project, can you list the other tools and equipment you have used?
 * In the workshop identify the following health & safety features
 * emergency stop button
 * safe working areas
 * safety clothing
 * eye protection
 * eye bath
 * first aid box
 * fire exits
 * fire blanket, fire extinguishers ||  || Look at all of the potential hazards in the picture below and rank the

= Making & Manufacture = You will follow the teachers instructions carefully in order to manufacture the teasmade. You will produce a photo journal or diary of making, recording the step by step the manufacture of your teasmade. You should include details of the tools and materials used, health and safety for each step. Here are some keywords that you will hear during this project, can you define them:
 * Keywords **
 * clamp
 * vice
 * sanding block
 * glass paper
 * jig
 * timber
 * grain

= Testing & Evaluation = You will test your finished teasmade, you will need to design three tests and then you should take photos of each of your tests and evaluate the results and findings to your three tests. Evaluate how the project went, do you now feel confident about working in the workshop? Whilst manufacturing the teasmade - what stage was the most interesting? and which stage did you like least? If you were to make the teasmade again, what would you do differently.

Finally you should ask two other people to also evaluate your finished teasmade. Record all your results in your design journal or e-Portfolio.
