LEARNING PLAN (How will you organize student learning in this lesson?
ACTIVATE
Day 1
1. Discussion/Lecture:
Large group views examples of casted art and examples of rings
(what they will be creating. Teacher will show a short video of a
demonstration while explaining the process, including safety
procedures.
2. Reflect/Share/Collaborate:
Students will complete a graphic organizer of key points from the
video and discussion. They will share with the members of their
table what notes they took. They will also share any ideas they
have for their casted ring.
Day 2
3. Demonstration/Work Time:
Students will use carving tools to carve their wax ring. Once they
have theyre desired design, they will attach their wax ring to a
wax stick. (This will act as a hole for metal to travel through to
get to the ring once the wax is melted away.) The teacher will
model expected behavior and skills while providing a
demonstration at the beginning of class.
Day 3
4. Demonstration Create Plaster Mold:
Students will watch and listen to the teacher mix plaster, create
mold, and use a vibrating plate to surface air bubbles. The
teacher will provide a guided practice with each student as they
mix their plaster. Students who are not at the plaster station will
work on any projects they have not completed.
Day 4
5. Finish Plaster Mold
Teacher will provide each student will an illustrated handout that
explains the mold-making steps. The teacher will also use the
white board during a short lecture to explain how the kiln in used
to melt away the wax inside the plaster so that metal can be
casted. All of the plaster molds will be placed inside the kiln so
