What To Expect in Year 7 Technologies Classes
Year 7 Technologies is a fascinating journey that bridges the digital and the tangible, giving students a comprehensive understanding of how modern technology interacts with the world around us. The curriculum is crafted to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and build a solid foundation for future learning in both digital and design technologies.
Digital Technologies: Coding, Data, and Networks
- Data Transmission: Students explore how data zooms around in wired, wireless, and mobile networks, learning about the safety measures that keep information secure and how different tech specs can impact performance.
- Binary Representation: They discover the binary magic that turns 1s and 0s into text, images, and sounds on digital devices, laying the groundwork for deeper understanding of computing concepts.
- Algorithm Design: Students begin crafting their own algorithms, learning to predict outcomes and spot errors. They also get hands-on with basic programming, creating and tweaking simple programs to see how different inputs lead to different outputs.
- User Experience Design: They step into the shoes of a user experience designer, learning how to plan, evaluate, and communicate design ideas for digital systems, making them user-friendly and effective.
- Project Management: Students also get a taste of managing projects as they collaborate to bring their digital ideas to life, all while keeping safety and social contexts in mind.
Design and Technologies: Engineered Solutions, Food, and Materials
- Engineered Solutions: Students learn about the forces at play in electromechanical systems, discovering how motion, force, and energy can be harnessed to create simple engineered solutions.
- Sustainable Food and Fibre Production: They explore the journey of food and fibre, learning how they are produced, and how design can help make these processes more sustainable.
- Healthy Eating Design: Students delve into the properties of food that determine how it’s prepared and presented, applying this knowledge to design solutions for healthy eating.
- Material Selection: They investigate a variety of materials, learning how their characteristics and properties can be combined to create designed solutions for a range of needs.
- Design Development: From generating ideas to testing and communicating design plans, students learn the process of bringing a design from concept to reality, using a variety of tools and techniques to make their designs come to life.
- Evaluating Designs: They learn to set success criteria to evaluate their design ideas, processes, and solutions, considering sustainability and future risks.
Inquiry and Skills: Discovery through Doing
- Data Acquisition and Analysis: Students learn to gather data from different sources, evaluate its accuracy, and use software tools to visualize and model information.
- Problem Decomposition: They practice breaking down real-world problems into smaller, manageable chunks, considering various constraints to come up with functional solutions.
- Collaborative Online Projects: They engage in online projects, collaborating to create and share ideas and information, while also learning to manage projects effectively and safely.
