Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Applied Technology	Week	9
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 1
Strand	Metal Technology	Sub-Strand	Welding Technology
Learning Outcome(s)	1.4.2.LO.1 - Apply knowledge and understanding in design and making of artefacts, translate the ideas into drawings using CAD and produce working drawings from the final solution and generate a model
Learning Indicator(s)	1.4.2.LI.3 - Indicate the various applications of gas and electric arc welding Organise the learners into fair mixed ability and gender inclusive groups, task them to effectively research on the specific applications where gas and electric arc welding are used. E.g. Burglar proof for windows, gates, car body repairs, local containers, metal tables and chairs etc.
Lesson Focus	Indicate the various applications of gas and electric arc welding Organise the learners into fair mixed ability and gender inclusive groups, task them to effectively research on the specific applications where gas and electric arc welding.
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts.
Lesson Objective(s)	Describe the key idea in: Indicate the various applications of gas and electric arc welding Organise the learners into fair mixed ability and gender inclusive groups, task them to effectively research on the specific applications where gas and electric arc welding. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance.
Essential Question(s)	What knowledge, process or technical skill is required for: Indicate the various applications of gas and electric arc welding Organise the learners into fair mixed ability and gender inclusive groups, task them to effectively research on the specific applications where gas and electric arc welding are used. E.g. Burglar proof for windows, gates, car body repairs, local containers, metal tables and chairs etc.? How can this technology be applied safely and effectively in a real workshop, industry or community setting? What evidence, measurements, observations or technical principles justify the solution?
Teaching & Learning Resources	Applied Technology curriculum/reference materials Whiteboard/markers Learners' notebooks Relevant electrical/electronic components, circuit models, simulation software or charts Relevant metalwork tools, materials, PPE, models or workshop equipment
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Use real objects, models, diagrams, demonstrations and simplified technical prompts for learners who need additional support. Extend highly proficient learners with troubleshooting, design, comparison, calculation, evaluation or improvement tasks based on the same indicator.
Process	Use mixed-ability and mixed-gender grouping, rotating technical roles so all learners participate meaningfully. Where specialised workshops, field trips, software or equipment are unavailable, use curriculum-aligned models, simulations, videos, diagrams or locally available alternatives.
Product	Allow evidence through practical demonstration, technical drawing, model, artefact, report, presentation, circuit, design solution or written response as appropriate. Assess safety, accuracy, procedure, technical reasoning, collaboration and quality of the finished evidence.
Success Criteria	Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation.
Homework	Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Show a tool, drawing, system, product or workplace scenario linked to welding technology and ask learners to identify the task or problem.	Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Demonstrate welding technology using a diagram, tool, material sample, process chart or safe practical example.	Observe the demonstration, identify tools or steps and record safety points.	Ask learners to identify the correct tool, process, safety rule or design feature.
Activity 220 minutes	Guide learners to plan, measure, assemble, test, troubleshoot or evaluate a task related to welding technology.	Complete the guided practical or analysis task while checking accuracy and safety.	Check the task for accuracy, safe procedure and clear explanation.
Activity 310 minutes	Give a technical problem and ask learners to select a suitable method, tool or design choice.	Apply the method to the new problem and justify the technical choice.	Use a short exit task on choosing the right process or tool for another technical task.

Lesson Closure

Summarise welding technology and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response.
