Tasks to Complete This booklet has been designed for our Design & Technology Mechanisms module that we started studying after October half term in year 10. All tasks set are related to the work you would be completing if you were in class. Week Beginning Lesson Content Tasks to complete Week 1 & 2 Introduction to mechanisms. Types of movement, levers and linkages. 1, 2, 3 & 4. Week 3 Researching and testing card/paper mechanisms. 5 & 6 Week 4 Researching the WWF organisation. Sketching design ideas. Final Design. 7, 8 & 9 Week 5 Making the pop-up card. 10 &. 11 Week 6 Cams and followers, gears and pulleys. Produce a revision page on mechanisms. 12, 13, 14 & 15 Keep your work safe and return it to your class teacher when you are back in class. If you get stuck you can always email your class teacher for help. 2

Task 5. Levers and linkages can be used to make very effective pop up cards. Pop ups can make good solutions to GCSE NEA contextual challenges. For our next task you are going to design and make a pop up greetings card. To start off read the design brief below; Design Brief You are to design and make a prototype greeting card that will be sold through the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) website to promote awareness of an endangered animal. The greeting card that you design will have to be manufactured in school using standard school equipment and card in two hours. In order to complete this task you will need to complete the following tasks: Research and display five possible pop up mechanisms that could be used inside a greeting card. Research appropriate images and text that could be used for your pop up card Create a design idea for a greeting card that uses a pop up mechanism Make a full size version of the card Task 6. If you are going to make a pop up card you need to know about pop up mechanisms, an examiner will want to see that you have done your research and learned something form it. Make at least five pop up mechanisms, some are shown on the sheet shown below. If you get stuck look at the following website for help and ideas . https: //technologystudent. com/despro_flsh/graphics_popup 1. html On an A 4 page of your own or use a double page spread in your book add the title ‘Pop Up Mechanisms Research’ the date and your name (If necessary). Display neatly each of your pop up mechanisms. For each mechanism; explain the mechanism, try to suggest how you could use it as part of your product add diagrams. Add a conclusion at the end of your work. What have you learned from completing the research, which mechanism will work best for your product?

Task 7. What sort of greeting card will you design and make? ? How will it tie in to the WWF (World Wildlife Fund)? ? Research greeting cards and the WWF On an A 4 page of your own or use a double page spread in your book add the title ‘Greeting Card & WWF Research’ the date and your name (If necessary). Display neatly images that you have researched for greeting cards and the WWF. For each image add information and your thoughts; Where did you find the image? Why did you choose this image? How could it be used to help with the design of your greeting card? You could add sketches to show you intend to use the research that you have found as part of your design. Add a conclusion at the end of your work. What have you learned from completing the research, which images will you use as part of your greeting card design? You may be cute…… but not as cute as this…… Could use a similar tag line…. Use a crocodile…. Pop up teeth inside card Task 8. Sketch a page full of the ideas that you have in your head. These should be quick sketches. Task 9. Final Design Idea. For this task you just need to show that you have thought enough to be able to make a good, high quality greeting card and justify your choice of design. On an A 4 page of your own or use a single page in your book add the title ‘Final Idea’ Draw what you intend to make for your greeting card. Your page of work must contain enough information for someone else to be able to make your product; Draw the front of the card, Draw the inside of the card, Show the pop up mechanism that you will use, Give sizes for the card you will be making, Show you will attach the mechanism to the card, What will you use to add the graphics to your card? Justify your final design idea. Why is your design a good design for the design brief that has been set? Why is it a good greeting card? Why would it be a good product to be sold by the WWF?

Task 10. Make your chosen card design. You may need to be inventive with materials if you do not have card. Perhaps try paper or even cereal boxes could be useful for structure. Task 11. Evaluate your work from the project so far using the criteria below. What would your score be? Write down what worked well and what could be improved if you could make the design again. Task 12. Answer the questions on the following page.

Common Core: Mechanical devices used to produce movement: Page 28 1. Name three types of cam _________________________________________ 2. Name the cam in the diagram. 3. Name the cam in the diagram. 4. Name the cam in the diagram. 5. Draw the profile of a cam that would create a uniform rise and fall in a cam follower. 6. Give an example of where a drop or snail cam may be used. _________________________________________ 7. What type of movement does an eccentric cam give? _________________________________________ 8. Name the type of follower. 9. Name the type of follower. 10. Name the type of follower. 11. Which type of follower would be best when accuracy is needed? Give an example of a machine where this type of follower is used. _______________________________________ 12. Give a definition for the key term ‘Friction’ _________________________________________ Name: Design & Technology
