Activity 2

Mark the odd tool out. Then write down to which family tool the right ones belong to.

The tool family is________________

MEASURING, MARKING, SHAPING, CUTTING, SAWING, DRILLING, FILING, SANDING, HITTING, HOLDING, JOINING

Sand paper Rasp Files Chisel


4/16

etc The tool family is________________



Activity 3

Tool dominoes. Play the game in groups of four. Match each dominoes tool family with next dominoes tool. Here you have an example

+ SQUARE HOLDING + PLIERS CUTTING +

Handsaw Craft knife Copying saw Hacksaw

Adjustable wrench Screwdriver Allen key Dividers

Pillar Drill Bench vice Pliers F-clamp


5/16

Frame structures for language usage while playing:

PLAYING

It’s your turn I just have one, two... dominoes left

I’ve finished You are the winner

Do you want another try? Yes, please / No, thank you

CORRECT/INCORRECT

That’s fine Your match is incorrect

Well done This tool doesn’t do this action

Activity 4

Memory game. Tool photo and tool name Play the game in groups of 2-4 students. Mix all the cards. Then display face down in rows and columns. The first player chooses a card, turns it over and reads/shows the card. Then he does a second card choice and also turn it

over. If both cards are the same, the player keeps them with him and scores 1 point. If they are not, he replaces them face down. Now it’s the second player’s turn. Once all the cards have been paired up, the player with the most points wins.

Use the same frame structures for language from the last exercise to help you speaking English whilst playing

Activity 5

Label the workshop tools. Write down labels using technical lettering “retolació” with the name of the tool and the tool family it belongs. Then stick the label on the tool and wrap it with adhesive band. If you have several identical tools it is interesting to number them in order to check them easily.

Lesson 3 Comparing tool families

Activity 1.

Read the following diagram about sawing and cutting tools. Ask the teacher if you don’t understand the meaning of any words.

Sawing tools Cutting tools

Similarities They are used to divide objects into two parts

They have a handle and a blade

Differences

They split materials by eroding the object, so they produce sawdust or wood shaving

They split materials into two parts without releasing sawdust or wood shaving.

New pieces together are smaller than the original

New pieces together are equal to the original

They work on a backward and forward movement

They work on one way movement

They have teeth, a sort of row of points which stick out from the blade

They just have a very sharp blade

You must consider sawing out of the line of division to foresee the loss of material

You can cut following lines of division

Now complete the diagram filling the cells with YES or NO.

Sawing tools Cutting tools

Used to divide objects

Used for thick objects

Used for slim (thin) objects

Handle

Blade

Teeth

Wasting stuff

Result is equal to original

Works on the line of division

Finally write/complete/choose and circle an explanation about one sawing/cutting tool.

The _____________ belongs to the _____________ tools family. It is used for

_____________________.

It has several parts: 1) _________ used for ________________ 2) _________ used for

________________ 3) _________ used for ________________.

To use this tool you have to cut/saw following/outside the line mark because it produces

sawdust/doesn’t make waste, so the new pieces are the same/smaller than the original ones.


7/16

Activity 2

Read the following diagram about kinds of joins. Ask the teacher if you don’t understand the meaning of any word.

Reversible join Definitive join

Similarities They are used to assemble different pieces to make an object

You need a join and also a tool to use it

Differences

Used for easily made objects, like Do It Yourself (D.I.Y)

Used for cheap and common objects

Used for complex objects where join endurance is less than object endurance.

Used for complex objects where join endurance is longer than object endurance.

You can check the join and change it, without destroying it.

To check the join you must break it and put in a new one

This join is expensive and slow to assemble

This join is cheap and quick to assemble

Danger: could be loosened by vibration, strikes, etc

Danger: It is difficult to maintain.

Now complete the diagram filling the cells with a cross where needed.

Reversible join Definitive join

Eiffel Tower, Newcastle and Sidney bridge

Screw, washer and screwdriver

Hammer and nails

Ships and planes

“Meccano” Shelves

Wood furniture: chairs, tables, cupboard

Adjustable wrench

A thermoplastic toy with parts glued together

A riveted backpack, suitcase, etc.

A welded building structure, a car, etc.


8/16

Finally write/complete/choose an explanation about one object around you made by assembled parts.

The _____________ is made by ______(number) parts. They are kept together due to

a reversible/definitive join.

The join is made using ____________________ because it is cheap/easy to assembly/ easy to

check/ has a long endurance, etc.__________________________ (add any other comments

about advantages and inconvenience of the join)

Activity 3

Sizes and standardization. Look at these pictures. Describe what you see.

etc

What is the tool name and what are they used for? Could you explain the purpose of so many sizes or types of the same tool? Think of a situation where you would need to use several sizes of any of the tools proposed.

Sand paper grades Scissors set Coping saw set

Metric screw Screw assortment Screwdrivers set

Adjustable wrench Screwdriver Allen key Dividers


9/16

To make the answer easier for you, complete the sentences and choose the right answer where necessary.

The (tool name) ___________________ is/are used for_______________________________.

It has several parts: 1) _________ used for ________________ 2) _________ used for

________________ 3) _________ used for ________________.

They have several sizes because we have: different materials to work with / different kinds of

work to do / different people use these tools, (suggest other possible explanations)

__________________________________________________________.

For instance for (work example) _________________ you could use a big/medium/small size

_________ (tool name or tool part) while for (work example) __________________ it is better

to use a big/medium/small size ______________________ (tool name or tool part)

Do you think it is interesting to have different types or sizes for tools?

I think it is interesting to have different types or sizes for tools because

___________________________________________________________________________.

Are tool sizes free range or do they follow a pattern? I think tool sizes are free range/follow a

pattern because ______________________________________________________________.

As the 1st member of your team you should listen carefully to the film and write down as many actions related to tools, engines and machines as you can hear.

As the 2nd member of your team you should watch the film carefully and write down or draw as many tools as you can see. If you see a new tool or machine that you haven’t seen before just try to understand and write the action it takes/what its purpose is.
