Summary

• Description:

  The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Woodwork Term 3 Schemes of Work 2026 - MTP (Mountain Top Publishers). The PDF version is also available upon your request.

  This downloadable Grade 10 Woodwork Scheme of Work provides comprehensive, practical lesson plans for Term 3 2026. Aligned with the Senior School technical curriculum, the resource is grounded in the MTP Woodwork Learner's Book (pages 104–134) and incorporates workshop safety, hand tool usage, technical drawing, and hands-on furniture construction.

  The scheme is organized into the following strands and substrands:

  • Wood Processes and Products
    • Surface Preparation
    • Project - Furniture Item
  • Related Drawings
    • Drawing and Sketching

  The topics covered throughout the term include:

  • Surface Preparation: Reasons for finishing wood (protection against moisture/wear, enhancing texture/appearance), selecting tools (scrapers, sandpaper, files, hot iron, clean cloth), scraping techniques ($30^\circ\text{--}45^\circ$ angle along the grain), progressive hand sanding (coarse, medium, fine grits), steam grain raising using a damp cloth and hot iron to repair surface dents, and applying first and final coats of clear varnish with fine sanding between coats.
  • Project - Furniture Item: Full carpentry project workflow for making furniture (stools, benches, coffee tables, shoe racks, cabinets): preparing cutting lists and sketches, timber selection, marking and cutting components (top/seat, legs, support rails), bench planing and squaring edges with a try square, assembling frame structures with wood glue, nails, and try squares, attaching legs with pilot holes and screws, final sanding, and quality inspection.
  • Drawing and Sketching:
    • Pictorial Drawings: Characteristics of Isometric drawings ($30^\circ$ axes), Oblique drawings (Cabinet vs. Cavalier depth scaling), and Perspective drawings. Learners construct isometric axes, draw rectangular blocks, stepped objects, and complex joinery components in isometric projection.
    • Orthographic Projection: Principles of First-Angle orthographic projection, setting up vertical/horizontal axes with $45^\circ$ projection lines, and systematically projecting Front View, Plan (Top View), and Side View (End Elevation) with proper alignment and spacing.
    • Freehand Sketching: Techniques for rapid freehand sketching of furniture items to communicate proportion, form, and grain shading to clients and colleagues.

  This 2026 downloadable PDF and Word Woodwork Scheme of Work equips technical teachers with practical workshop safety guides, cutting list templates, drawing exercises, and project appraisal rubrics for Term 3.
