Title CON 1160: manufactured materials Grade/level 10

Con1010 prereq

Estimated 20 hours Teacher Alex van der Stoel

module time

Essential Students select and use the appropriate materials and tools to build a product or
question structure from a wood composite or another manufactured material.

Module Students will build a plywood box using a modified finger joint to see the difference in
Description solid wood and plywood and how each can be used in specific settings to make
aesthetic decisions. This project will make use of the processes of cutting, glueing,
sanding, and finishing as well as highlight finger joints and a solid wood lid and base

Module This module will highlight the value and use of manufactured materials in building
Rationale and allow students to see the difference between manufactured materials and solid
stock. It will incorporate new processes and a more complicated glue up into their
project.
- Finger joints
- Rabbet edging

Safety/ - tool safety

Environmental - saws could cut students
considerations - could hit themselves with hammers
- environmental safety
- paint or stain fumes could be dangerous
- sanding dust can be harmful
- glue could get stuck on students
- Router table
- Thickness sander with undersized pieces

Equipment/ - Miter saw

Tools needed - Glue up
- Clamps
- Jig
- Sand paper
- Router table
- Rabbet bit
- Planer
- Jointer
- Table saw

Consumables - ⅝” plywood
- Alder for lid
- ¼” MDF for base
- Epoxy for CNC fill-in

CTS learning outcomes

● 1. identify and describe the characteristics of common manufactured materials

○ 1.1 identify the various types of manufactured materials; e.g., plywood, hardboard, particle board
○ 1.2 describe how a common manufactured material is made
○ 1.3 explain the advantages of using manufactured materials
● 2. demonstrate the safe use of a given hand and power tool
○ 2.1 describe the safe operation of hand and power tools to make dado, rabbet and mitre joints in
plywood and other manufactured materials
○ 2.2 use the appropriate tools, materials and processes to:
■ 2.2.1 measure and lay out the components
■ 2.2.2 cut to size and surface all edges
■ 2.2.3 edge bond all exposed surfaces, as required
■ 2.2.4 machine the appropriate joints
■ 2.2.5 assemble and clamp
■ 2.2.6 attach the appropriate hardware
■ 2.2.7 prepare for finishing
■ 2.2.8 apply a suitable finish
● 3. create a product from a manufactured material, using basic joinery techniques
○ 3.1 describe typical methods of constructing a product from a manufactured material; e.g., types of
joints, fastening systems, edge treatments
○ 3.2 identify the factors that determine the quality of a wood joint
○ 3.3 select or modify a plan for a project that incorporates basic joinery and edge treatment
techniques
○ 3.4 create a bill of materials, cutting list and event sequence
○ 3.5 identify and describe common methods used to finish plywood and other wood substitutes
○ 3.6 conduct a visual inspection of components to see that the joints are tight fitting, surfaces are free
of marks and edges are covered and finished appropriately
4. demonstrate basic competencies
○ 4.1 demonstrate fundamental skills to:
■ 4.1.1 communicate
■ 4.1.2 manage information
■ 4.1.3 use numbers

■ 4.2.3 be adaptable
■ 4.2.4 learn continuously
■ 4.2.5 work safely
○ 4.3 demonstrate teamwork skills to:
■ 4.3.1 work with others
■ 4.3.2 participate in projects and tasks
● 5. make personal connections to the cluster content and processes to inform possible pathway choices
○ 5.1 complete/update a personal inventory; e.g., interests, values, beliefs, resources, prior learning
and experiences
○ 5.2 create a connection between a personal inventory and occupational choices

Marking (powerschool)
- Students plane, joint, and cut wood to create a stool, they will learn hidden screws, mold replication,
and routing.
Finishing
4- All faces have been sanded to remove marks from lower grit sandings
3- A few sanding marks are present
2- Most sanding marks are present
1- Sanding has not been done on most pieces
Joints
4- All screw holes are plugged and sanded with matched grain
3- All screw holes are plugged and sanded
2- Most screw holes are plugged
1- Screw holes are not plugged.
Fitment
4- Stool sits level and all materials meet tightly
3- Stool either sits level or all materials meet tightly
2- Stool has most materials connected tightly
1- Stool has large gaps where material meets
Dimensioning
4- All measurements are within 1/8" of planned dimensions
3- Most measurement are within of 1/4" of planned dimensions
2- Most measurements are within 1/2" of planned dimensions
1- Most measurements are within 1" of planned dimensions
