Learning Goals


Build molecular models for a variety of simple organic compounds.
Grade 12 - Organic Chemistry. B2.3

Create design models (e.g., conceptual, physical, virtual, theoretical) and/or functional prototypes (e.g., proof-of-principle, functional) using appropriate tools (e.g., fabric shears, computer-aided design [CAD] software, computer numerical control [CNC] machine tools), equipment (e.g., computer, cut-out pattern), procedures (e.g., tracing, forming, assembly), and materials (e.g., matt board, starch, linen, neoprene).
Grade 11 - TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN SKILLS. B3.1

Prepare, using conventional means or computer-aided design (CAD), detailed working drawings and/or assembly drawings or rough sketches (e.g., section views, isometric views), as appropriate to the task, that include the measurements and symbols required to complete a project (e.g., dimensions, specifications, tolerances, surface finish symbols, weldments).
Grade 11 - MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY SKILLS. B1.4

Compare various kinds of models (e.g., conceptual, physical, virtual, theoretical) and prototypes (e.g., proof-of-principle, functional, form study), taking into account the tools, equipment, procedures, and materials required to produce them (e.g., tools: fabric shears, computer-aided design [CAD] software, computer numerical control [CNC] machine tools; equipment: computer, cut-out pattern; procedures: tracing, forming; materials: matt board, starch, linen, neoprene).
Grade 12 - TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS. A4.1
