Course Description for 6th Grade Industrial Technology

During this course, students will explore Industrial Technology processes, procedures, and career opportunities. Safety procedures are emphasized while presenting a basic knowledge of measurement, tools, and their applications. The students will gain hands-on experience in the construction of a number of projects.

Course Rationale

Instruction in industrial technology plays an important role for students who are preparing for technical careers after graduation—employment or higher level of education. It is also a crucial component of academic backgrounds for students who will pursue carpentry or construction careers. All students, regardless of their occupational choice, can benefit from woodworking instruction since it teaches the planning, safety and the building aspects of projects.

Learning Activity #1 : Safety Summarizing & Note-taking
Note-taking
Students will take notes on safety related activities and use a graphic organizer to summarize their understanding. The notes would include personal safety (attire, etc), finishing safety (chemicals, fire extinguishers, etc), and hand tool safety (how to hold/carry hand tools, how to cut with each hand tool, etc). The teacher will demonstrate and model aspects of safety to the students.
Summarizing
Students will summarize their understanding by choosing either a Venn Diagram, Frayer Model, or KWHL Chart (see appendix) to compare and contrast the function, use, and characteristics of the tools.

Learning Activity #2 : Safety Demonstrations
The teacher will demonstrate the application of various safety techniques and skills to students while using different tools and equipment. The teacher reinforces key vocabulary terms by having students use their safety flash cards to predict the specific safety behavior demonstrated. After the safety application demonstrations, students will complete a vocabulary notebook page (see appendix) on 2 terms they had difficulty identifying.

/ Assessment #2: Cooperative Safety
The teacher will place students into cooperative learning groups. Each group will have a list of safety techniques and skills they must demonstrate as well as a flip camera. The students will evenly divide the responsibilities and take turns demonstrating and filming. The teacher will monitor student safety technique as they demonstrate and film. The students will be able to watch the safety videos they create and the teacher will collect the videos and assign a grade to each student based on the technique they demonstrated.
