A typical KS3 project, where pupils will glue pieces of acrylic sheet together to form a block which can then be shaped and polished. By adding a drilled hole the shape could become a key fob.
The MRATs below cover the predicted activity covered by a pupil in making an acrylic key fob. Including gluing the pieces together, shaping and polishing using machines and hand tools, and drilling a hole.
The resources below have been selected as those needed that cover the activities a pupil would carry out in making a wooden box.
Typically they will measure and mark out materials, cut materials using saws, sand pieces to size, glue pieces together and finish the wood using appropriate finishes.
This project has the pupils building a small MDF box to contain a lighting circuit that is a base for a table lamp or lighting display piece.
The MRATs and other documents below are related to the construction of the box and building the electrical circuit.
The sheet can be formed using a line bender or vacuum former, to achieve curves or folds.
Decoration can be applied, such as paint, stickers or other components.
