Students will continue to use the technology principles of the Design Cycle to focus on learning activities which will require them to use a variety of tools to study production, manufacturing, and construction. Systems, processes, materials safety, tools and machines will also be studied. In the Science of Technology unit, students apply scientific principles and concepts of simple machines and energy to solve real-world problems. Students will be engaged in relevant hands-on projects, as they unravel the mysteries of digital circuitry in the Magic of Electrons unit.
