RESOURCES  Steel rulers  Tape measures  Measurement handout  Measurement quiz  Cabinet making textbook  Sample bill of materials  Sample plan of procedure  Safety handouts  Stationery and portable woodworking tools and equipment.

OBJECTIVES 3.4.12.E7 The learner will:  Accurately measure specified lengths and widths in fractional inches.  Identify the various types of wood and describe the processes used in the production of each.  List and describe the common defects found in raw lumber.  Provide solutions for each type of defect, which will allow the raw lumber to be used as finish material.  Complete a bill of materials and a plan sheet for each project they will be building.  Use protective and safety equipment properly.

3.4.10.D2 The learner will:  Safely operate each stationary power tool.  List and describe each machine control and its function.  Identify each operation that can be safely performed on the machine.  Describe hazardous operations or areas of operation associated with each machine.  Safely assist fellow students using a specific machine.

3.4.12.A2 The learner will:  Demonstrate cooperation and production with another person or group.  Exhibit an increased level of confidence and knowledge of safe working practices.  Recognize quality construction of wood related items and explain the process to produce such an item.  Recognize and construct a quality wood project.

34.10.C2 The learner will:  List in order the steps required to machine square a board.  Explain and safely demonstrate the process of ripping and cross cutting.  List the various types of sure form tools and their use.  Explain the difference between cutting, scraping, and grinding operations.  Demonstrate the correct operations and procedures for drilling and boring holes.  List the types of wood joints and describe as well as demonstrate how they are cut.  List and describe the various types of glues and adhesives.  Recognize and identify the size of a nail, brad or screw using the American National System.  Describe the difference in gluing edge and end grain joints.  List the types of clamps and their primary use.  Describe the types of stain and determine best use for a particular project.  Demonstrate the application of clear finishes to various projects and types of wood.

ESSENTIAL CONTENT 3.4.12.E7

 Have the student complete three (3) measurement quizzes with 100% accuracy before the student may move to the next area. Quizzes are matching a fractional number to its location on a ruler.  Each student will view a video dealing with the production of construction lumber and then complete a review sheet.  Using a cooperative learning activity, students will work through a sample bill of materials and plan sheet for a teacher designed project.  The class will view the process of measuring, laying out cut lines, and sawing the pieces needed to assemble the project.  Individuals will be tested on the proper use of safety equipment and the importance of its use.

3.4.10.D2  Viewing each individual stationary power tool, the students will participate in a teacher-centered discussion through note taking and questions.  Have each student describe the purpose or function of a machine control.  Discuss the processes that can be safely completed on each machine.  Demonstrate the safe procedure for assisting someone using a machine.  Students will be given a safety examination, which they must pass with an 85% or better average. 3.4.12.A2  The student will be placed in a cooperative situation in order to complete a required assignment.  Students will work together to complete a bill of materials, a plan of procedure, and dimension a detailed drawing.  Cut specific woodworking joints that require a high skill level and a demand for safety.  View several videotapes dealing with alternative processes used to build and assemble quality cabinet or case works.  Develop skills and gain an appreciation of quality work by completing an individual project using the processes learned

3.4.10.C2  List and demonstrate in order, the proper steps for machine squaring a board.  Demonstrate the difference between ripping and cross cutting.  Display and demonstrate the various types of sure form tools (a) files, (b) rasps.  Demonstrate the difference between cutting and scraping operations.  Explain and demonstrate the correct processes for drilling and boring operations.  Cut each type of wood joint and compare the way each is cut.  Have each student read "cabinet making" chapter on glues and adhesives. Discuss each type of glue and then complete a definition work sheet.  Students will view the various sizes of nails and screws while copying notes concerning the size classifications.  Students will test examples of edge and end grain glue joints to determine what makes one stronger than the other.  Complete a worksheet, which explains the differences in wood stains. Students will test any stain on scrap wood before applying it to their project.  Read and discuss the chapter concerning clear finishes, students will view examples of each finish.
