Technology+Lessons

This looks like a great place to paste technology lessons.

Grade Level: 5 Subject: Science - Technology & Engineering Design Process Unit: Catching the Wind; a MoS, EiE unit Topic: Sail Design Essential Understanding: Students will use the Technology & Design process to build and test sails. Standards Addressed: Key Activities/Skills: Prior to this lesson, students will have gained an understanding that technology is not always electronic. Technology is, in reality, a solution to a problem. The students will also have been exposed to vocabulary specific to technology and engineering. The students will also be familiar with the technology engineering design process (Ask, Imagine, Plan, Design, Improve). During this lesson, students will learn about the technology engineering design process to design sails. Working in teams of three or four students will use a variety of materials to create a sail that will propel a foam core boat across two fishing lines. The boats will be powered by “wind” from a fan. Students will follow the technology engineering design process to draw, create, and test their sails. They will test each design, record observations, and make improvements to their design. At the conclusion of the lessons, students will participate in a regatta. Each time will use their best sail design. Teams will race; the fastest time wins.

Connections This lesson is part of a fifth grade science unit called Catching the Wind.
