8TH GRADE: TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

Syllabus

Description: 
This course will give the student the opportunity to expand their technological literacy and explore the ever-advancing
world of technology. A main focus of the course is to assist students in becoming self-motivated, technologically literate,
life-long learners. Students are encouraged to develop skills, knowledge, problem solving abilities, work ethic and
awareness of the societal and environmental impacts of Communication, Production, Power/Energy and Transportation,
and Bio-related technologies. Students will work in pairs or individually on various projects that include real-world design
challenges. 

This course is designed for students to utilize the universal systems model including input, process, output and feedback. Students will examine various systems, such as; electrical, magnetic, mechanical, fluid, structural, natural, thermal, chemical, and information. Students will learn how various systems work together. Technological Systems reinforces the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics through practical application and / or hands-on activities.
