SHS2 Design And Communication Technology · Semester 1 Week 17: Solid Geometry

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 2.2.2.LI.2 - Draw the curve of intersections of objects meeting at right angles.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Define the curve of intersection and state the principle that governs how two solid objects meet at right angles.
Identify the types of curves produced when square and cylindrical pipes intersect at right angles, using models, pictures and charts.
Demonstrate, step by step, the drawing of the curve of intersection of a square pipe and a cylindrical pipe meeting at right angles, using drawing instruments.
Draw the curve of intersection of two cylindrical pipes of different diameters meeting at right angles, with accuracy in projection and line work.
Present and explain their drawings to the class, justifying the points used to construct the curve.

Curriculum details

Strand: Geometry (Strand 2)
Sub-strand: Solid Geometry (2.2)
Content standard: 2.2.2.CS.1 - 2.2.2.CS.1 Apply the concept of solid geometry in designing. 2.2.2.LO.1 Based on the understanding gained from the study of the concepts of solid geometry, construct complex solid geometrical objects. 2.2.2.LO.2 Use the knowledge of AutoCAD to draw simple plane figures.
Indicator: 2.2.2.LI.2 - Draw the curve of intersections of objects meeting at right angles.
Suggested placement: Semester 1, Week 17 (Week 17 of the year)
Our suggestion, laid out in curriculum order across three terms of twelve weeks. NaCCA does not fix the week, so follow your school's scheme of learning.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Managing talk for learning, Collaborative Learning/ Group work: In mixed ability grouping and with the use of models, pictures and charts, help learners to explain the principles of intersections and present their findings in a whole class discussion

Managing talk for learning: Demonstrate the drawing of curves of intersection of square and cylindrical pipes meeting at right angles using board illustrations and drawing instrument.

Activity based learning: With the use of instrument and the application of the concept of intersection, draw the curve of intersection of two cylindrical pipes of different diameters meeting at right angles.
