Exploring Technological Concepts Exploring Technological Concepts emphasizes the application of knowledge, tools and skills to solve practical problems. Students focus on the integration of technology, science principles, and mathematics to be inventive and apply their ingenuity.
Students form teams and use the design process of engineering to solve technological problems.
Instruction and problem-solving experiences will center on the use of tools, machines, and materials, to design and construct models, devices, and products that creatively solve technological problems. This course has been designed to parallel the ninth grade Matter and Energy course. All the units and objectives included below correspond to the concepts presented in the science course. Recognize and evaluate the difference between simple and complex machines. Combine complex machines with controls to create a working device.
