Exploring Technology 9
About
Through a series of problem solving challenges, students will explore a broad range of technologies related to production, invention and innovations. Thus allowing students to experience design-and-make tasks that employ the Design Process to solve a range of problems while demonstrating appropriate measuring skills, safe practices, environmental responsibility, technical drawing skills, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) connections.
Invention & Innovation
Inventions and Innovations is a concept that was developed to provide students with opportunities to compare and contrast actual technological inventions and subsequent innovations. Students are encouraged to use their inventive problem-solving skills to work through design problems related to control, electronics, robotics, or other inventive or innovative devices.
Production Technology
Production Technology is intended to offer grade 9 students an opportunity to design and construct something using wood, metal, or plastics. This will require access to a variety of processing machines related to the materials chosen.
