Subject: Grade: Level 1 – 4, Date: November Duration:

Automotive Grades 11-12 6, 2016 80 minutes
Lesson Overview This lesson will be the first of several lessons in car maintenance.
The students will practice doing oil changes on different vehicles by
following a procedure sheet and working with safe practices. The
students will also build off the prior lesson on safe hoist lifting
procedures and complete the process from start to finish with
supervision by the teacher.

Class Profile 15 students

- ELL
- Level 1
- Level 2
- Level 3

Big Idea(s) - Complex tasks require the sequencing of skills

- Complex tasks require different technologies and tools at
different stages
- Tools and technologies can be adapted for specific purposes

Curriculum Students are expected to do the following:

Competencies - Defining: Identify potential users, intended impact, and
possible unintended negative consequences
- Ideating: Screen ideas against criteria and constraints

Content Students will know:

- Apply safe work habits in regards to working with
automotive machinery and vehicles
- Complete an oil change procedure from start to finish under
supervision
- Identify different tools and equipment that is required to
complete the task

Language - Define isolated words such as rolling bridges, unibody, rocker

Objectives panel lips etc.
 Materials and Equipment Needed for this Lesson

Visuals: PowerPoint presentation on oil, graphics to aid in oil change procedure

Text or Books: Reference guide for lift contact points in vehicles
Equipment: 4 post hoist, jack stands, jack, various sockets and wrenches, oil pan
Materials: Engine oil and oil filters, safety checklist and procedure worksheet

Lesson Learning Activities Time

Stages
1 Warm-up Greeting: 5 mins
- Take attendance
- Ask and answer any questions unrelated to class to
settle the class down

Hook: 5 mins
- Ask the students: “Has anyone here actually done
an oil change?” and most, if not all will say no.
Then tell them you’ll show them how and play a
funny YouTube clip titled “They meant add oil to
the engine of the car…. Not the salad” about
- Briefly talk about what happens when you don’t do
oil changes or add oil (overheat)

Introduction:
- Go over the day’s agenda. Tell the students what
they will be learning and what they will be doing.
Today’s lesson will have a lecture on what oil is, 5 mins
what it does and what do the weights mean.
- Quick review on last day’s lesson about hoist safety
and remind the students of the most important parts
of the lesson

2 Presentation Lecture: 20 mins

- Start the lesson by talking about engine oil. What it
does, synthetic vs conventional and how we choose
what oil to use. (Powerpoint)
- Work in the zone of proximal development. After
you have taught the students about the function of
oil, ask them “What do you think the numbers that
displays the weight of the oil mean?” Allow for
them to think and take guesses.
- Play a video on oil change procedure
 Demonstration: 15 mins.
- Bring the students down to the workshop and
point out equipment specific to oil changes (oil
pans, where to empty oil etc.)
- Do a demonstration of an oil change on a vehicle
and check for comprehension by involving
students.
- Allow the students to use knowledge they have
learned from the lesson and help you in the
demonstration oil change.
- Remind students to put on any safety equipment
and split them up into groups
Practice and Housekeeping: 5 mins
Production - Determine what students will do for the rest of
the class.
- Ask the students that aren’t doing an oil change
immediately to continue working on their other
projects (welding, small engines strip etc.)
- Ask the students if they need me to go over
anything before we begin

Exploration:
- Supervise the students in making sure they 20 mins
adhere to safe practices
- Answer any questions they may be unsure of
- Allow the students the freedom of working on
the car and following a procedure sheet

Transition:
- Intermittently check in with students to see they
are engaged and on task

Independent Work (while helping each other):

- Students will complete the oil change worksheet
and any outstanding paperwork they may have.
- Students may ask to get their hoist safety check-
off completed.
- Students will work on other work they have for
the class.
4 Closure Clean-Up: 5 mins
- Ensure the students that worked on the oil
change have poured the oil into the proper
container
- Put away any equipment and tools that were
used (ratchets, wrenches etc.)
 Wrap-up:
- Thank the students for their work today and
good cleanup (if the cleanup was good)
- Re-assure students that didn’t get a chance to do
an oil change today will have a chance next day

Adaptations for - Step by step visual demonstration

English - Comprehension checks (asking questions)
Language - Students work in pairs to help each other, especially if
Learners teacher is unavailable
- Simpler and more general terms used during presentation
- If student requires individual instruction, substitution in
language is available

Assessment/ - Comprehension checks from guided questions throughout

Evaluation of the lesson
Students’ - Check-in to see if the students are understanding how to
Learning proceed with activity by monitoring progress (Are they
following the sheet with clarity or are they asking me what
to do next for every step?)
- See that students can apply previous lesson to complete
today’s lesson
- Watch the students complete the procedure

Reflection - Did I deliver a thorough demo and provide enough for the
students to complete the activity on their own?
- How did the ELL students find the subject-specific vocabulary
on top of the rest of the lesson?
- What would I do if there wasn’t enough vehicles available for
the oil changes?
