Instructions to Student

You have been asked to construct the frame and plywood outer covering for the front and sides of a dormer window.

You must now estimate how much timber and sheeting you will need for the frame and the plywood covering and then go on to cost the materials you will use.

The following 1:50 scale drawings give you an indication of the size and shapes of the parts you have to make. The positions of the timber frame are shown.

Area for full scale 0.001235 m2 x 502 = 3.1 m2

Cost = 3.1 m2 x £1.50/m2 = £4.63

Instructions to Student

Your workshop has been sent an order for the manufacture of 100 pieces of sheet steel, each made with a hole in the middle to the following size and shape.

Calculate the area of steel needed for each piece and then the total area of steel sheet needed for the whole order.

The steel pieces are to be shipped in crates that can hold a maximum weight of 50kg. you have been sent a sample of the steel – measuring 100 mm x 100 mm and it weighs 200 g.

What is the largest no of finished steel pieces that can be put into each crate for shipping?

550,000 cm2 – 40,000 cm2 = 510,000 cm2

This converts to 0.51 by using the area converter of the TouchCalc app

The sample of sheet metal is 100 mm x 100 mmAnd weighs 200 g

Page 23: Handheld Apps

Engineering

In other words:

0.01 m2 is 200g

So - 1 m2 is 20kg

Therefore, the weight of one piece with the calculated area of 0.51 m2 is 10.2kg

Page 24: Handheld Apps

Engineering

If one 0.51 m2 piece weighs 10.2Kg

Then the packing box can take:50kg ÷ 10.2kg = 4.9 or no more than 4 whole sheets

Instructions to Student

You are part of a team that has been asked to record the numbers of various tree species along a set of evenly spaced 100 m long transects (lines) in an area of woodland. The transect has been broken up into 10 m lengths for ease of management of the task.

In each 10 m section, identify and record the name of any trees within 1 m either side of the transect line.

Record your results in the table.
