THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 9 AND 10 | Technological Education
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 identify the different components of a resi- dential construction project (e.g., footings, foun- dation, joists, studs, trusses, rafters, millwork, trim, cabinetry), and outline the sequence in which these components are usually installed;
A1.2 identify the various systems in a building (e.g., foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry), and describe their functions;
A1.3 identify natural and manufactured building materials and products commonly used in the construction industry, and describe their speci- fications and characteristics (e.g., natural wood: species, source, nominal and actual dimensions, grade; plywood, metals, plastics: type, grade, resistance to weather or corrosion);
A1.4 describe the processes used to produce com- mon construction materials (e.g., cutting and milling lumber and trim, gluing together the layers
of plywood);
A1.5 list the steps of the processes used in a con- struction project (e.g., woodworking: planing, shaping, sanding; framing: installing sill plates, laying out floor joists, installing subfloor);
A1.6 describe various processes and materials used to finish surfaces in construction projects (e.g., applying primers, sealers, stains, varnishes, paints, veneers, laminates, and siding).
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 explain how to correctly and safely use, main- tain, and store construction tools and equip- ment (e.g., hammers, measuring instruments, table saws, mitre saws, drills, lathes, cordless drills);
A2.2 select the most appropriate tools or equipment for specific tasks (e.g., wooden mallet versus fram- ing hammer, crosscut saw versus rip saw, combina- tion square versus framing square);
A2.3 describe commonly used layout, measuring, and tracing techniques (e.g., determining and marking circumference, diameter, radius, angles, rounded corners);
A2.4 describe commonly used temporary and per- manent assembly techniques (e.g., temporary: using screws or double-headed nails; permanent: gluing with butt, mortise and tenon, dovetail, or mitre joints).
By the end of this course, students will:
A3.1 use correct terminology for the names, char- acteristics, and functions of construction materi- als, tools, and equipment in oral and written communication (e.g., reports, lists of tools and materials, schedules, design presentations);
A3.2 use correct terminology to describe building components and construction processes (e.g., components: header, lintel; processes: levelling, squaring, making plumb).
