Grade 9 Technology Education

​

The grade 9 program of Industrial Technology involves taking prior knowledge and applying it to the study of aerodynamics.

 

In order to facilitate this, students design and construct a CO2 powered vehicle, which is propelled down a 20 metre track, at speeds in excess of 50 km/hr

 

The program covers such areas as:

• Science

• Design

• Art

• Construction

• Math

• Language Arts

• History

 

Students are evaluated on projects produced in class, written work and assignments, and adherence to safety protocols in class.

 

Students are required to have a notebook (into which papers can be fastened), a pencil, and a pen for every class. 

 

Students keep a daily log of their progress in class in addition to completing a project in class.  As well, there is a research project to be completed at home.

 

Students are responsible for missed work, and extra help is available.
