Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Group work/collaborative learning: Group learners to discuss computing coding language used in CNC using video or simulated activities and describe the computer language. Assist learners to enter the code into the CNC machines e.g. In G-code 5 main letters are used in this language. Each letter corresponds to a different type of action for the machine to execute. eg.M02: end of programme, M06: tool change, G02: clockwise etc. Assessment (3.2.1.AS.1). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding. Teaching and Learning Materials: - Chart - real object - CNC milling - CNC lathe - 3D printer - video clips of CNC operations - Industrial visit - CNC drilling - CNC grinding - Laser
