CYCLE TWO

TECHNOLOGISTS AT WORK


Welcome to cycle two.



TECHNOLOGICAL PRACTICE

1 Using CIB (Curriculum Inquiry Balmoral) model/technological process, year seven and eight students will explore a need or opportunity; develop, prepare and package their own technological outcomes.


TECHNOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE

1 All students will learn much about functional modelling within the context of their own practice.

2 Year seven students will describe the performance properties of a range of ingredients/materials, use them and suggest why they have been used.


NATURE OF TECHNOLOGY
Year eight students will explore how technological developments continue to impact the way we cook and eat.

Extension students will also identify the skills and knowledge required in a selected technological field.

2017 FOOD TECHNOLOGY (HANGARAU KAI)

Technology education in New Zealand explores how, beginning with a need or opportunity, new products and systems are developed and how technological developments impact on our world. It also aims for students (to develop “a broad technological literacy”) to gain skills, knowledge, and understanding that will enable them to thoughtfully live with, critique, and contribute to the technological developments that shape our lives.

The school year has been divided into two cycles. Terms one and two- cycle one and terms three and four will be cycle two.

CYCLE ONE

 1. Through various learning experiences offered in class, students will explore the performance properties of ingredients/materials, acquire knowledge, language and skills needed to develop their own products or systems in cycle two.

2. Students will also explore the characteristics of technological outcomes:

Year 7 students will identify and describe the links between the physical and functional attributes of a given technological outcome.

Year 8 students will describe how two technological outcomes with similar physical attributes can have different functional attributes and vice versa. In addition to this, extension students will identify and describe what is “proper function and other function” of various technological outcomes.
