WOODS 1-2
One Year (1 credit)
Semester offered: (1st-2nd) Grade level open to: 10, 11, 12
Prerequisites: None/ $15.00 lab fee
Content:The course includes the study of safe and basic operation of wood-working machines, kinds of wood, basic wood finishing techniques, and wood joints. Class members will have an opportunity to develop self-reliance, initiative, and responsibility. Students will have a choice of one project which must be completed at the end of the first semester. Second semester, students will have the opportunity to design, construct, and finish furniture that requires more time to complete. Students can expect to: - develop a basic knowledge of the stages of project construction to the finished product - use woodworking tools and machines with competence - use various materials such as plywood, particle board, and Formica - use basic math skills Student will learn: - the safe and advanced use of hand power tools, circular saw jigsaw, radial arm saw, planner, lathe, uniplane, jointers, drill press, bandsaw, and router - use in depth finish skills and techniques developed in class - present a prepared design and drawing of a project of his/her choice

WOODS 3-4
One Year(1 credit)
Semesters offered: (1st-2nd) Grade level open to: 11, 12
Prerequisites: Woods 1-2
Content:This course is designed to take the student who has completed Woods 1-2 further in their course of study in the world of woods. Instruction will be centered around practical, hands-on application with wood on both required and student-engineered projects. A real world emphasis will be placed on the class content by not only improving upon existing wood working knowledge but also by working cost analysis, shop time and space constraints, correct jointing procedures, and layout, and proper selection of equipment and techniques best suited for the project at hand. Machine/equipment maintenance will also be cover in depth.
Students will learn :
- complete the required safety-related assignments
- do shop mathematics, add and subtract common fractions
- be able to assign and properly identify the correct procedure needed for a particular project
- participate in both in/out of class learning
- Select the proper procedure/process required for a project
- lay out properly a project and calculate accurately the cost associated with the project
- design and fabricate their woods projects
- be required to wear safety classes in shop at all times
- operate correctly and safely the equipment and be able to operate them in order to complete a project
