A. Objectives:
1. When provided with the necessary tools and equipment the student will set up, prepare the weld metal and make a weld bead with rod on aluminum sheet following standard safe operating procedures.
2. Each student will complete one sample weld specimen of two weld beads using the TIG process with maximum of 30 minutes practice time and earn a minimum score of 75 points.
B. Introduction:
The most desirable process for fabricating aluminum parts by welding is with Tungston Inert Gas process. The skill of making a satisfactory weld bead with this equipment is basic to making high quality butt and fillet welds

The Operational Lesson Plan:
There are many important agricultural practices and skills where the value for students is essentially manipulative or manual skill (psychomotor) development. Whenever this ability and "know how" is necessary in order for the students to be able to do or perform the proactive and/or skill according to standard specifications, these lessons should be taught from an operational point of view. The students should learn to do these "jobs" efficiently, and the teacher's objectives for this lesson plan are (1) to develop the ability to do the job correctly, and (2) to develop the ability to perform a skill or practice satisfactorily.
Developing questions for study, making reading assignments, using class discussions or recitations based upon assigned study are costly, time-consuming, and inefficient for his type of teaching. Furthermore, lecturing on material of this nature is even worse. "One learns to do by doing" applies in teaching operational lessons. Too much time is wasted in trying to teach operational jobs by talking about them. Students should be shown how to do such skills and then be given ample practice time to learn how to do them.
The most important teacher preparation for operational lesson plans is to make a complete "step by step" analyses which outlines an up-to-date, economical and efficient way for doing the job or performing the skill. These "Job Operation Sheets" should then be followed by the teacher when giving the demonstration.
When conducting demonstrations, the following steps are suggested:
Step 1. Teacher does and tells
Step 2. Student does-teacher tells -OR -teacher does-students tells -OR -students does and tells
Step 3. Students do under supervisionA suggested format for developing operational lesson plans is shown following:

Lesson: (Number and title)
COMPETENCY(IES) TO BE TAUGHT:
Need:
List the important reasons lesson is taught.
LESSON OBJECTIVES:
1. Development of skill to do a job or perform a task satisfactorily according to standard specifications.
INTRODUCTION:
1. Why is the lesson to be taught?
2. Bring out the importance of skill/job/exercise.
3. Show examples of use of the skill/job/exercise.PROCEDURE:
1. Demonstration:
a. Teacher demonstrates how to perform skill as outlined on the job operation sheet.
b. Teacher explains clearly each step or operation and gives reasons why.
c. Student should demonstrate how to perform skill while explaining each step.2. Supervised Practice:
a. Students practice skill under supervision of teacher.
b. Teacher assists students.3. Summary:
a. Review lesson based upon objectives.
b. Summarize the steps involved and review safety when appropriate.
c. Involve students in developing a concenses statement which concludes the lesson and identifies ways to use the skill.
d. When appropriate, write the conclusion on the board/overhead.4. Application:
a. As students complete skill or practice, assign a production job or exercise to be completed according to specifications.
5. Evaluation:
a. Teacher includes psychomotor development activities on unit examinations.
b. Teacher scores the quality of work of the job or exercise performed by student according to specifications.REALIA :
