Anticipatory Set\/Hook
Show the students the ending clip from Labyrinth where Sarah, the baby, and the Goblin King are climbing over, around, and across various sets of stairs or the clip from Harry Potter: The Sorcerer\u2019s Stone where Ron, Harry, and Hermione are climbing up a set of stair, it starts moving, and the lines are said, \u201cWhat\u2019s happening?\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t you remember, the staircases move.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instruction<\/h4>\n
Step 1: Ask the students why they think step units in theater are important (if you use platforms you need steps to allow the actors to get to those platforms).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 2: Take the students to the shop and have them separate into groups of 4.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 3: Ask the students what \u00bc\u201d scale means (1\u201d = 4\u2019).
-tell them that they will be making a step unit at \u00bc\u201d scale.
-ask them if we want a tread of 12\u201d and a rise of 8\u201d how big are the tread and rise going to be on the model (divide the real measurements by 4 to get scale measurements-tread 3\u201d and rise of 2\u201d)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 4: Show the students the carriages on the step unit model.
-Have each pair of students get two pieces of 1\/8\u201d plywood to make a carriage.
-Draw on the board a picture of a step unit Carriage<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 5: Have a student label the scale dimensions on the rise and tread of the carriage.
-get out the carpenter\u2019s squares and have the students place a stair gauge on the 2\u201d and 3\u201d marks
-now have them but the paperclips against their piece of 1\/8\u201d plywood. Do this 5 times to make the rise and tread of the carriage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 6: For the bottom rise have the students deduct the width of a tread (for model 1\/8\u201d
plywood)
-for the top tread have them deduct the thickness of a rise (for model 1\/8\u201d plywood).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 7: Now have the students extent the line from the second to last rise on the bottom
and the second to last tread on the top.
-connect a line where these lines cross the bottom and back of the step unit<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 8: Now have the students place their two pieces of 1\/8\u201d plywood together and staple
twice in the middle of the carriage.
-using the band saw have the students cut out the carriage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 9: Next ask the students if they want steps 3\u2019 wide in \u00bc\u201d scale how wide should they
Be? (3×12=36\u201d so 36\u201d wide steps \u2026\u2026..36\u201d divided by 4\u201d is 9\u201d wide so scale steps are 9\u201d wide)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 10: Create a cut list on the board
Using 1\/8\u201d plywood
-3 Treads @ 3\u201dx 9\u201d
-1 Tread @ 2 7\/8\u201d x 9\u201d
-3 Risers @ 2\u201d x 9\u201d
-1 Riser @ 1 7\/8\u201d x 9\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 11: Using the table saw (if available) and the miter saw have the students cut out the
Treads and Risers<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 12: Starting with the bottom riser and moving to the top glue and staple 4 riser
Pieces
-explain that when building a real step unit screws will be used instead of staples<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 13: Starting with the bottom tread piece and moving up glue and staple the 4 tread
Pieces
-explain that when building a real step unit screws will be used instead of staples<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 14:Show the students the back of the model step unit
Ask the students to measure the gap at the top of the step unit between the two
pieces of carriage and the top step (8 6\/8\u201d x 2\u201d)
-have them cut out a piece of 1\/8\u201d plywood according to these dimensions
-glue and staple in this piece<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 16: Point out the legs on the model of the step unit. Explain to the students that they
will not put these on their models but will on the full scale step units.<\/p>\n
