This task sheet supports learner assessment and understanding of mechanical machining. It contains two structured tasks: one focused on matching machining activities to the correct equipment, and another prompting learners to identify common hazards in a machining environment. It can be used in-class, as homework, or as a retrieval activity.
Task 1: Match each process (e.g. cutting holes, threading) to the correct machine: centre lathe, milling machine, or pillar drill
Task 2: Identify and describe four key machining hazards
Bonus Task: Label a Lathe, Bench/Pillar Drill & Milling Machine
Supports exam readiness and practical safety awareness.
Unit 1: The Engineered World – BTEC Level 2 Engineering
This complete Week 4 resource bundle covers Topic A2: Mechanical Processes (Machining) and includes everything you need to deliver a clear and engaging session on turning, milling, and drilling.
Included in this bundle:
PowerPoint Presentation
Covers key machining processes, safety issues, and introduces CNC technology with a recap of Week 3.
Task Sheet
Two structured tasks where learners match machines to operations and identify machining hazards.
Learner Handout
A revision-friendly sheet summarising each machining process, their characteristics, workshop hazards, and CNC machining.
This handout is designed to support learners during Week 2 of Unit 1: The Engineered World for the BTEC Level 2 Engineering qualification. It provides a structured and accessible way for students to record key information, engage with sector content, and complete tasks linked directly to the unit specification.
What’s Included:
An overview of all seven core engineering sectors: Aerospace, Automotive, Biomedical, Chemical, Communications, Electrical/Electronic, and Mechanical.
A space for learners to note down key products and industries related to each sector.
Task 1: A table-based activity where learners identify at least three products per sector and explain their purpose.
Task 2: A collaborative thinking activity exploring how different sectors work together to produce complex products.
Reflection questions that support classroom discussion and exam preparation.
