Sources and stock forms of papers and boards

Design and technology

In this unit pupils will develop technical principles knowledge with an explicit focus on exam technique.

Put the stages in the correct order from source to stock form:

They are always made from recycled materials.

They're easier to transport, store and use in different manufacturing processes.

They don't require specialised tools to work with.

What is one main benefit of using standard stock forms in manufacturing?

What is the main source of paper and boards?

timber chips are pulverised with rotor blades, making pulp

pulp is sprayed onto a mesh and pressed through rollers into paper

Put the following stages of the mechanical pulping process for paper in order:

timber harvested from forests that are managed carefully

timber that is cut down as quickly as possible to meet demand

timber that is imported from another country

timber that is only used for making furniture and not construction

Which of the following best describes sustainable paper and boards?

Paper and boards stock forms are available in standard sized {{}}.

Materials are chosen based on their physical and working {{}}.

it can maintain its shape under normal conditions without breaking

it can resist environmental changes like temperature and moisture

the cost-effectiveness of building a structure

What does 'structural integrity' refer to in materials and structures?

Which of these materials comes from a plant source?

Which group includes only natural materials?

Match the material category to its example:
