Preliminary Activity: “Mystery Box Challenge”


Materials:
 Variety of measuring instrument

Instruction:
1. The class will be divided into small groups (2-3 students).
2. Each group will be presented a mystery box that contains different measuring instrument.
3. The members will work together to identify the measuring object without opening the mystery
box, they need to predict which measuring instrument might be needed for each projection.
4. After the group predicted the measuring instrument, they are allowed to open the mystery box to
identify the actual measuring instrument.
5. The group will briefly discuss the function of each tool.

PROBE
(Exploration Activities)

Exploration Activity: “Exploration of Drafting Tools”


Materials:
 Measuring instrument
 markers or pens
 paper

Instruction
1. Prepare the materials needed for the activity.
2. Create a 3D cube with measurement of each side of 6”x6”x6”
3. Label all the 6 principal view

PROCESS
(Explanation of concepts and skills, deepening of understanding)

In mechanical drafting, there are several essential measuring instruments used to ensure precise and
accurate drawings.
Basic Measuring Instruments:

Ruler: This is a fundamental tool for measuring straight lines. In drafting, metric rulers are preferred for
consistency, but imperial rulers might be used depending on the situation.
Tape Measure: For measuring longer distances, a tape measure becomes necessary. Similar to rulers,
metric tapes are generally used in drafting.
Drafting Specific Instruments:
Triangles: These come in various angles, but the most common in drafting are 30/60/90 and 45/45/90
triangles. They are used for drawing precise horizontal, vertical, and angled lines.
Compass: This instrument allows you to draw circles and arcs of various sizes. Drafting compasses often
have features for precise adjustments.
Protractor: For measuring and drawing angles, a protractor is essential. They typically have markings in
degrees to accurately represent angles in your drawing.
Additional Instruments:
Dividers: These function similarly to compasses but are used for transferring measurements or marking
equal distances.
Scalers: These specialized rulers come with multiple scales etched on their sides. They allow you to
enlarge or reduce the size of an object while maintaining proportional accuracy in your drawing.

PRACTICE
(Skills development, mastery of skills activities, post-learning assessments)

Skills Activity: “Measuring Instrument Scavenger Hunt”


Materials:
List of measuring instruments (Ruler, Scale, Protractor, Dividers, Calipers - optional)
Worksheet with blank table (see below)
Objects of various sizes and shapes (blocks, books, pencils, etc.) around the classroom
Instruction:
1. Prepare a list of common measuring instruments used in mechanical drafting. The list can be
adjust based on the instruments you have available.
2. Create a worksheet with a table with three columns: Instrument, Object Measured, Measurement.
3. Briefly review the functions of common measuring instruments in mechanical drafting.
Scavenger Hunt:
4. Divide students into pairs or small groups.
5. Provide each group with a worksheet and the list of measuring instruments.
6. Hide the listed measuring instruments around the classroom (on shelves, under tables, etc.)
7. Instruct students to work together to find the measuring instruments on the list.
