Understanding how the equations of math, from Fractions to Geometry to Algebra are clarified when applied in woodworking.
Science- Basic laws of physics: Force, friction, and Inertia.
Projects begin easy to build confidence but progressively become more challenging to keep one’s interest.
Every project has a “material list and plan” so you'll know what to have on hand.
A cut-list is created by the teens, providing the necessary information on what is needed to frame out a wall, floor and roof.

Using the various framing methods of the literature above, combined with the instructors experience & knowledge, the students will review, prepare a plan and material cut sheet to determine how to build the following;
(A) Types of framing: Wall, floor and partition framing – measuring determining height and square footage of a determined area. Using your material and cut list in order to build floors, walls and stairs.
(B) Plywood, Sheetrock & Fiber-rock: Understanding sheathing, types, thicknesses, and how to install in the appropriate areas.
(C) Insulation & Vapor Barriers: Determining the type necessary in which to use and how to install it correctly inside and outside the structure.
(D) Roofs: Ridges, rafters and eaves. Using the rafter square to determine a slope and design of the roof assembly the putting it together on paper, then the assembly of it all
(E) Finish Woodwork: Installing the, doors, windows, molding and stairs. Learning the details of finish woodworking and how it is different from conventional rough framing. Learning about hardwood and its uses and understanding the different types and grades.
SUMMARY
The focus of Woodshop environment and program is based on a practical and effective method of teaching a “hands on” skill. It increases one’s ability to learn how to approach a project from the planning stages, to the development and to its completion.
This workshop has been reviewed and accepted of its approach on “hands on learning” by Greg Stephens, Math Chair and Doron Markus, Science Chair. There will by a few of the teachers implementing problems from their respective classes as part of the Woodshop.
GOAL OF THE WOODSHOP
1. To encourage, instruct and assist in the development of the individual(s) knowledge within the scope through wood framing and carpentry.
2. Each Woodshop and Lesson Plan will be followed with an 8 to 12 minute question / review period and a continued discussion and review of areas covered in the previous week(s) of the Woodshop. A full summary, verbal quiz and review will be given before the 4th, 7th & 10h week of the course.
3. The program will also focus on the individual(s) ability to learn in a “hands on” setting as an individual and within a group. Applying and using practical mathematics on a tape measure, scaled graph and architects/engineers scaled ruler. And offers practical science through volume measurement, inertia and force. This increases the individual’s ability to comprehend and understand the information provided on an architect’s rendering / plan or through motor skills learning.
4. Each individual will also be prepared with the basics to approach and have the ability to apply, if needed, the skills to work as an apprentice, carpenters helper or to seek further education on becoming a draftsperson.
