Lesson Plan: First Angle Orthographic Projection

Grade Level: 8

Subject: Technology / Engineering

Duration: 2 Class Periods (50 minutes each)

Lesson Title: Introduction to First Angle Orthographic Projection

Objectives:

  1. Knowledge Objectives:

    • Students will understand the concept of first angle orthographic projection.
    • Students will learn the importance of orthographic projection in technical drawing.

  2. Skill Objectives:

    • Students will be able to create first angle orthographic projections of simple 3D shapes.
    • Students will gain proficiency in interpreting orthographic drawings.

Materials Needed:

  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Projector for presentation materials
  • Graph paper
  • Ruler and compass
  • Sample 3D objects (e.g., cubes, cylinders)
  • Worksheets for practice
  • Computers or tablets (if available) with CAD software (optional)

Lesson Outline

Day 1: Introduction to Orthographic Projection

  1. Introduction (10 minutes)

    • Start with a question: "What is orthographic projection?"
    • Explain the purpose and importance in engineering and design.
    • Introduce first-angle projection vs. third-angle projection.

  2. Presentation (20 minutes)

    • Use slides to show diagrams of first-angle orthographic projections.
    • Illustrate how a 3D object is represented in 2D; discuss the views: front, top, and side.
    • Explain the conventions and symbols used (e.g., the layout of views, dimension lines).

  3. Demonstration (15 minutes)

    • Demonstrate creating a simple first-angle orthographic projection of a cube on the whiteboard.
    • Show how to label each view properly and include dimensions.

  4. Class Activity (5 minutes)

    • Hand out a simple object drawing worksheet for students to start practicing identifying views.

Day 2: Creating First Angle Orthographic Projections

  1. Review and Q&A (10 minutes)

    • Briefly review the previous lesson: key concepts and views of first angle orthographic projection.
    • Answer any questions and clarify any points of confusion.

  2. Practical Exercise (30 minutes)

    • Provide each student with a simple 3D shape (either a physical object or a printed image).
    • Students will sketch the front, top, and side views of the object in first angle orthographic projection using graph paper.
    • Encourage students to use a ruler for straight lines and correct dimensioning.
    • Teachers will circulate to provide feedback and assistance.

  3. Group Work (5 minutes)

    • Organize students into small groups to discuss their drawings.
    • Have students compare their orthographic projections, encouraging constructive criticism.

  4. Closing (5 minutes)

    • Briefly recap the key points learned in both lessons.
    • Assign the students to complete a homework exercise using a new object of their choice, creating its orthographic projection.

Assessment:

  • Use a rubric to assess student drawings based on accuracy, clarity, and neatness.
  • Homework should be assessed for understanding and the application of concepts learned in class.

Extension (Optional):

  • Introduce software tools for digital drafting, such as CAD, to visualize how orthographic projections are used in professional settings.
  • Students could explore more complex objects and practice dimensions further.

Reflection:

  • After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved for future lessons.

This lesson plan aims to provide a strong foundation in understanding and applying the principles of first angle orthographic projection, which is essential for technical drawing and design in technology education.
