Student Name: Richard Dunphy No of Pupils: 22
Date: 24th January 2019 Length of Lesson: 40 minutes
Topic: Stairs Time of Lesson: Thursday 14:25 – 15:05
Aims
The main aims of this lesson are to…
Analyze the construction of a stairs by using a physical model to help
understand the fundamental components needed to construct and stabilize the
stairs as well as the safety features included to ensure maximum effect
Connect information learned from analyzing the physical model to theoretical
information outlined in the book in order to under pin the knowledge being
looked for in the leaving cert assessment
Investigate the calculations needed to construct a stairs – ensure safety
regulations and optimum calculations are taken into consideration when making
out calculations which will comply with standards and regulations
Learning outcomes & Assessments
Learning Outcomes (LOs) Assessment of LOs
At the end of this lesson students will be enabled to… (Each LO has an assessment)
Recognize the construction of a stair Verbally recognize the fundamental
case from analyzing a physical model components used in stair
of a stairs and highlighting the key construction
components Graphically represent three
Compile information regarding stair dimensional and theoretical
construction from looking at a information of stair construction
physical model as well as looking at Student/teacher demonstrations
the theory behind the construction of Numerical representation of stair
a stairs calculations
School Placement 4
Construct stair calculations which fall
under all the regulations outlined for
the correct construction of a stairs
