Level 1 Materials Technology

L1MTEC01
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr C. Watts.

Recommended Prior Learning

Open entry. The course follows the learning and project work in Y9 and Y10 Materials Technology


Level 1 Materials Technology explores the use and variety of materials such as wood, plastic and metal in order to produce a unique product. The course will follow the technological process which will include detailed research into existing products and the design process from the initial concept drawings to final presentation and production drawings. Learners will be given a design issue which will need to be addressed by designing and creating an individual product of their choice. 

● You will demonstrate your construction skills to produce a one off product. 

● You will demonstrate independence and accuracy in the construction of it. 

● Maximize your time and materials to produce the product.

● Use modelling techniques to demonstrate ideas

● You will understand how modelling limits risk in product development. 

● You will design your own personal project. 

● Use Technological modelling to demonstrate and communicate design ideas. 

● How do you show you are safe in the workshop? By taking photographs of you using new tools and machinery? You will build and construct your storage system using a range of materials.
