T1.3.1 Annotated sketches and detailed plans Quiz: KS3 Design & Technology, Unit 1

The 20 questions

1. What is the main purpose of an annotated sketch?

   • To give exact dimensions for a part that is going to be machined in class
   • To record the costs of each material used in the project in a budget sheet
   • To show an idea visually with written notes explaining its features
   • To show the final packaging design for a shop shelf in a retail display

2. What does a detailed plan provide that a sketch does not?

   • A list of the ideas that were rejected earlier in the design process
   • A photograph of the product being used by a typical user at home
   • A quick impression of the product's overall mood and general appearance
   • Precise measurements, materials and the order of making

3. Why do designers add notes to their sketches?

   • To hide the parts of the idea that the designer is not sure will work well
   • To explain materials, features and how the idea would work
   • To show the teacher how much time was spent drawing the sketch in class
   • To make the sketch look more colourful and attractive for a classroom display

4. Which information belongs on a detailed working drawing?

   • Dimensions, material type and tolerances for each part
   • The name of the designer's favourite music artist and their favourite band
   • The number of people who saw the first sketch of the product in class
   • A general opinion about whether the idea is good or not for the market

5. A designer wants to show how a hinge opens. Which is the best method?

   • An annotated sketch with arrows showing the movement
   • A single written sentence describing the hinge briefly
   • A typed list of the hinge's cost and supplier
   • A photograph of an unrelated door in another building

6. What is an exploded view?

   • A drawing of a product that has been damaged and broken during a full safety test
   • A drawing that shows the parts of a product separated along their assembly lines
   • A drawing of a product showing it in its packaging box on a shop shelf display
   • A drawing of a product whose colours have faded from light over a long period of time

7. Why use orthographic projection in a detailed plan?

   • To make the product look more three-dimensional and artistic
   • To show accurate front, side and plan views at true scale
   • To hide the internal parts of the product from view
   • To show how the product would appear in a dark room

8. What does a scale of 1:2 mean on a drawing?

   • Each length on the drawing is the same as real life
   • Each length on the drawing is half the real length
   • The drawing shows only the first two parts of the product
   • Each length on the drawing is twice the real length

9. A drawing is marked at 1:5 scale. A line on the drawing is 40 mm. What is the real length?

   • 8 mm
   • 45 mm
   • 200 mm
   • 400 mm

10. Which is the best way to show internal detail of a hollow object?

    • A sectional drawing that cuts through the object
    • A photograph of the object taken from far away
    • A written note saying the object is hollow inside
    • A sketch of the object's outside in a single colour

11. Why should a detailed plan show the order of assembly?

    • So that the product can be sold in a fixed order at shops across the whole town
    • So that the product is always made by the same person from start to end
    • So that the product can be made correctly and in the right sequence
    • So that the designer can show the teacher a timeline of the project work

12. Which is a benefit of annotated sketches during the design process?

    • They remove the need to communicate with the users of the product at all
    • They guarantee that the product will not need testing later on in its life
    • They make it unnecessary to write a design specification for the project
    • They allow quick changes to an idea before any making takes place

13. A detailed plan labels a part 12 mm thick. What information is this?

    • The name of the company that supplies the part to the school workshop
    • An opinion about how sturdy the part looks when it is displayed to the class
    • The price of the material used for that part in the workshop catalogue
    • A dimension that tells the maker how thick the part must be

14. What does a tolerance on a drawing show?

    • The amount of money the maker is allowed to spend
    • The number of times the part can be tested
    • The number of different colours the part can use
    • The acceptable amount a dimension may vary by

15. A designer draws a product from three viewpoints. What is the name of this method?

    • Perspective drawing with a single vanishing point
    • Orthographic projection
    • Free-hand shading with pencil and charcoal only
    • Photographic rendering with a studio light

16. Which is a common mistake in a detailed plan?

    • Leaving out key dimensions so the maker has to guess
    • Labelling each part with a clear name so that the plan is easy to read
    • Using a consistent scale across the whole drawing for all of its parts
    • Showing each part from two views so the maker can check its shape

17. Why is a drawing sometimes made with a cutaway?

    • To make the product smaller for easier storage in a box at the shop
    • To show the product being cut into slices for sale in a food stall
    • To reveal how parts inside a product fit and work together
    • To hide the fine details that the designer dislikes in the final drawing

18. What is a key benefit of using a standard symbol on a plan?

    • It shows the price of the part in the shop catalogue for each buyer
    • Anyone reading it can understand the same meaning quickly
    • It replaces the need to measure any of the parts at all in the workshop
    • It makes the plan impossible to change in the future for the designer

19. Why do designers check their detailed plans with others?

    • To get the other person to make the product instead of the designer
    • To decide the final price the product will be sold for in the shops
    • To prove that the designer has worked for a long time on the project
    • To spot mistakes or unclear labels before the product is made

20. A plan of a 60 mm wide part is drawn at 1:4 scale. How wide is the line on the drawing?

    • 4 mm
    • 240 mm

    • 64 mm
