Drawing tools and sketchup

Ferrari F1 engine

You can find here the videos we watched in class about the use of the protractor and the set squares. They will help you do the exercises properly.

• How to use the protractor to take measures or to draw given angles. (There are two parts of the video)

• How to use the set squares to draw a parallel or a perpendicular line to a given line.

Drawings are very important in the technology classes, I advise you to be careful while drawing so that they look clear and neat.

These two links are to learn about the crating technique and practice. 

Another useful tool is sketchup, [https://www.sketchup.com/https://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-free]. You only need a google account to open and model with the program.

ADVICE: Try not to use your mobile number to sign in the gmail account, use another account instead. Here you have a post to help you with it.

👀 Watch this video to know how to start with sketchup:

Activities: Draw the 3D model of the exercises 10 and 11 of the unit 2.

Do the drawings considering that each square = 10 cm = 100 mm
