Lesson details
Key learning points
- Deforming involves using force to change the shape of a material.
- Small-scale production methods can be used to deform materials.
- Deforming materials on a larger scale require different techniques.
Keywords
Deform - a change in the shape of materials when they are put under physical pressure or stress
Force - a push or pull that can affect the movement, direction, or shape of an object
Automation - use of technology to perform tasks
Former - a solid object that a material is manipulated around to create a specific shape
Common misconception
The same tools and methods are used for both small-scale and industrial manufacturing.
The scale of production heavily influences tool choice, speed, accuracy and repeatability.

The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format.
We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.
