We will be working with your Whanau to develop an outcome (make something) that links to your other studies.

Firstly we will be looking at What Tech Education is about and learning some of the words and terms that you will come see and hear when working in the Technology rooms.

Google Classroom Code: 

* Technology Language- Brief and Specification

* Codes of Practice - Introduction to soldering and cardboard net construction

Learning Intentions: 

We are EXPLORING what is the Design Process

We are EXPLORING the terminology used in Electronic circuits

We are EXPLORING the Codes of Practice that we must follow when working in the Tech Workshop. Safety

Success Criteria: 

I have participated in a discussion about Electronic components and circuits

I can recognised electronic symbols and what they stand for.

I can identify a range of safety practises when soldering.

I understand the terms used in Technology like Brief,specification, stakeholder, need, opportunity and solution.

I can identify safe codes of practice to follow in the Tech workshop

Activities:

1. Slide show - electronic components and their symbols view this in class with your teacher.

2- Safety in the workshop- Soldering Demo

3. Starting the template for the NET using cardboard.

4. Soldering multiple components to create a simple circuit.

EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

• We are EXPLORING light emitting devices by integrating and collaborating with Science and doing a research online on how might we use different materials with electric circuits and components to design and make a torch light for year 7s to use at camp.
