PRESENTATION • Competency • The sequence of events • Evaluation • Difficulties • Educational goals and competencies • Essential knowledge • Scope statement • Concepts • Materials
COMPETENCY • COMPETENCY 1 : Search answers/solutions for scientific or technological problems • COMPETENCY 2 : Use his scientific and technological knowledge • COMPETENCY 3 : Communicate by the language used in science and technology
SEQUENCE • Divide the class into two groups (A and B). • Every group will form teams of 3 or 4 students (A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.).. • The A group will perform a basic electrical challenge. • The B group will perform a simple assembly: building of a car.
SEQUENCE • They have to produce an instruction guide in only written format (no sketch). • Using the appropriate words chosen from a list
VOCABULARIES • Examples of words
SEQUENCE • Later, they exchange their instruction guide with a team of the other group.
SEQUENCE • The team accepting an instruction guide must be capable of accomplishing the related assembly • If the team needs help during the assembly task, it can use exclusively written communication not oral!
SEQUENCE • Teams accomplish assembly and produce a guide using schematic and containing only technological vocabulary, exclusively using written communication. • Attention, in the instruction guide made of schematic no text (sentences) is allowed.
EVALUATION • After the evaluation, the teams work together to combine the written and the schematic guides. • It allows to accomplish a simple and understandable guide • Develop competency 3: compare their data /processes with others (PFEQ p.281).
EVALUATION • This learning activity must be completed in the beginning of the school year . • Students are aware of the importance of good communication
EVALUATION • Team (A) will have the opportunity to share information with team (B) to create a simple/clear guide final. • This allows to gain knowledge through interaction with others, to structure his comments, to make explanations, or formulate and transmit the results(PFEQ p.280).
DIFFICULTIES • Difficulties appear while preparing the guide text instructions. • They often skip details that seem easy or obvious to them. • Accuracy is an important factor, often neglected. • In addition, the use of appropriate terms is not obvious
EDUCATIONAL GOALS • Allow students to develop a critical thinking and a good working method. • This scenario can lead them to react constructively to criticism and comments of others • Allows to develop the knowledge of a terminology and a specialized symbolism.
COMPETENCY • Competency 3 : Communicate with the aid of languages used in sciences and technology. (PFEQ p.281) • Produce a written communication tool or schematized … the choice of terms and the use of technological symbols is important.
ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE • Essential knowledges are related to the technological world: • Students learn to integrate technology into their daily activities. • General Concepts are engineering and technological systems.
SCOPE STATEMENT • The Learning activity consists of a scope of statement (PFEQ p.288) • They must achieve a construction sheme (PFEQ p.288) and provide the steps to follow in order to finish the task. • In addition, they should understand the technical terms related to specific materials (QEP p.288) and components.
CONCEPTS • General concepts related to engineering : - Scope of statement - Construction scheme - material
CONCEPTS • General concepts related to the technological systems: - basic mechanical functions (displacement of the car) - elements of a system (technological terms) - system and total function (electrical circuit)
EXAMPLE 1: A Home with a Electrical Power challenge • MaterialsA set of LEGO blocks (Hint: Special Edition LEGO, Better building more fun, 4 years and over, number 6092) ; The whole contains blocks necessary to build a house, doors and windows (optional, since it can leave holes in the building to represent them). A power source Two alligator clamps A small bulb A switch ….
