Course Description:
This course enables students to further explore and develop technological knowledge and skills introduced in the
elementary science and technology program. Students will be given the opportunity to design and create products
and/or provide services related to the various technological areas or industries, working with a variety of tools,
equipment, and software commonly used in industry. Students will develop an awareness of environmental and
societal issues, and will begin to explore secondary and postsecondary education and training pathways leading
to careers in technology-related fields.)
In particular course will focus on the design process with an increased focus on engineering.
Teaching Strategies :
Students will be working within the Design Process (ie: SPICE) Framework on a series of projects which will
include:
achievement categories when they assess and evaluate student work (over the stretch of a semester). Evidence
of learning refers to anything that students do, say or create that demonstrates deep conceptual understanding
of Ontario curriculum expectations based on established learning goals for a course.
Evidence of learning also refers to a more holistic approach or process of appraising what students know, can do
and understand in place of traditional assessment methods of teaching, quizzing and testing; it uses the process
of triangulation of student data used in research to provide a more well-rounded and all-inclusive picture of
student achievement. Triangulation means collecting student evidence over time from three sources:
observations, conversations and student products and considering all three sources in determining
students’ grades.
Summative tasks/exams will consist of 30%; and term work will consist of 70% of the grade, using the following
