Technology
What is the object? What does it do? What problem does it solve? How else could you use it? What material is it made of? What else could it be made of? How would you improve it?

What is Technology?

NCTL defines Technology as:
Anything human-made or used to solve a problem or fulfill a desire.
Technology can be an object, a system, or a process.

What is Engineering and what do engineers do?

Science & engineering are the same. Science and engineering are mutually
exclusive fields. Engineering is a branch of science. Technology is computers, smart phones,
things that plug into the wall, or have a battery.
Common Ideas about Technology & Engineering
![Page 10: STEM Professional Development DAY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568148cd550346895db5ea86/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
NCTL defines Engineering as:
A problem-solving process called the Engineering Design Process
Humans designing, under constraints, technological solutions to wants and needs

Why K-12 Engineering?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B-g1_6QCWU&feature=related Technological literacy is a basic 21st century literacy Applies math and science in real world contexts- this
creates relevance for learning, Integrates other disciplines into a cohesive learning
paradigm Increases students’ interest, awareness and
understanding of STEM careers Builds and reinforces 21st Century Fluencies

Science – Engineering – Technology
Scientists seek to understand the natural
world and use tools to explore.
Technologies are the result of engineered designs. They are manufactured to solve societal needs and wants and are often used in scientific explorations
ENGINEERING
TECHNOLOGY
SCIENCE
Engineers use scientific discoveries to design new
technologies to meet human and societal needs.
WOW
…and where they intersect is where innovation takes place!

Inquiry - Design
Scientific Inquiry Engineering Design
Formulate a question. Define a problem.
Research how others have answered it. Research how others have solved it.
Brainstorm hypotheses and choose one. Brainstorm solutions and select one.
Conduct an experiment. Create and test a prototype.
Modify hypothesis based on results. Redesign solution based on tests.
Draw conclusion, write paper. Finalize design, make drawings.
Submit paper for peer review. Present optimal solution to client.
Ask new question Define new problem.

Lesson 3:Testing Sail Designs
Guiding Question
What properties of a sail affect how well it catches the wind?
![Page 21: STEM Professional Development DAY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568148cd550346895db5ea86/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Testing the Materials
Build your first prototype for testing in five minutes.
Use as much of the sail materials as you would like.
If you would like to create a frame for your sail, there are extra popsicle sticks and coffee stirrers for that purpose.
Don’t forget that you should build your sail on the broad side of the popsicle stick.

Reflect and Share
What was your first sail design? What was the problem? What did you
change and why? How were everyone’s best designs
similar? How were they different?

BenefitsStudents engaged in Problem Solving- Developing ‘Solution Fluency’Higher levels of thinking required (Create, Evaluate)Students work in teams developing ‘Collaboration Fluency’Learning is Experiential: Students are engaged in “heuristic tasks” that cause them to explore possible solutions through working with materials. They test ideas and designs, evaluate and revise based on what they find out. This develops ‘Information Fluency’ through discovery and finding outStudents are autonomous which enables creativity and exploration-Developing ’Creativity Fluency’

Main Components of Notebook entries
1. Planning the Investigation: Things to Include:
Focus/Inquiry Question, prediction, plan or process for finding out
![Page 35: STEM Professional Development DAY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568148cd550346895db5ea86/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Life Boats Investigation
What is the relationship between the capacity of a life boat and the number of passengers it can hold before sinking?
Write your prediction
Support why you think this way.
What plan or process will you use to find out? You may use the following materials: basin with water, syringe, graduated cylinder, pennies post 1984, paper cups.
![Page 36: STEM Professional Development DAY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568148cd550346895db5ea86/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Data Acquisition and Organization
How will you collect data and organize your information from your plan?
-Charts, Tables, Graphs, Diagrams, Artifacts, Pictures
This will be used as evidence to support the students answer to the focus question.
![Page 37: STEM Professional Development DAY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568148cd550346895db5ea86/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Making Sense of the Datamaking claims based on
evidenceThis is where students answer the focus or inquiry question I claim…. I think this because…. I used to think….. but now I think… I learned… I wonder…. They may use a diagram and/or conceptual or have a
more formal writing structure. It does not have to be correct or complete at this point it
can be remediated during the final step.
How important is this skill in all areas?
![Page 38: STEM Professional Development DAY](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062309/568148cd550346895db5ea86/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Reflection and Self Assessment
This is the “capstone” to the investigation.
Students review their notebooks, response sheets, teacher feedback, quizzes.
They may discuss in pairs or small groups identifying key concepts and learning.
Finally writing in their notebook revisions of claims and evidence. What they have learned.
What would you do to make the investigation better? What happened that caused you to change your thinking? How will you improve your HOM for the next investigation?
