Summary

The MS Word document comprises Grade 10 Aviation Technology Lesson Plans Term 1 2026. The PDF version is also available upon request.

The lesson plans are structured over 13 weeks, with 4 lessons per week, fully aligned with the KICD-approved CBE (formerly CBC) curriculum, integrating core competencies, values, and key inquiry-based questions for each session.

Strand: Foundations of Aviation Technology

Sub-strand: Introduction to Aviation Technology

• Historical milestones in aircraft development (Montgolfier brothers, George Cayley).

• Contributions of pioneers (Wright brothers, Igor Sikorsky).

• Classification of aircraft: Lighter-than-air (balloons, blimps) vs. Heavier-than-air (airplanes, gliders).

• Functions of aircraft: Transport, Military, Recreation, Special Purpose.

Sub-strand: Safety in the Aviation Workplace

• General rules for personal safety and the “Human Factor” in accidents.

• Classification of workplace hazards: Physical, Chemical, Biological.

• Common injuries: cuts, burns, fractures, electric shock.

• First Aid procedures, contents of a First Aid Kit, and CPR administration.

• Observation of safety practices in real-world aviation environments.

Sub-strand: Airport Safety

• Safety measures in Landside, Airside, and Terminal areas.

• Hazards: Foreign Object Debris (FOD), jet blast, propeller zones.

• Classification of safety signs: Mandatory (Blue), Prohibition (Red), Information/Safe Condition (Green).

• Procedures for entry and exit control: Security screening, ID checks.

• Freehand sketching and labeling of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.

• Practical project: Designing and constructing a static model of a heavier-than-air aircraft.

Sub-strand: Aircraft Tools and Materials

• Properties of metals (Aluminum, Titanium, Steel) and non-metals (Composites, Plastics).

• Investigation of physical (density, magnetism) and mechanical (ductility, tensile strength) properties.

• Classification of tools: Non-powered (Hand tools) vs. Powered (Pneumatic/Electric).

• Grouping tools by function: Cutting, Striking, Holding, Marking, Measuring.

• Tool maintenance, storage (shadow boards), and safe operating procedures.

Strand: Term 1 Assessment

Sub-strand: Assessment and Closing
