KEY CONCEPTS, KEY FOCUS and IMPLICATIONS for TEACHING & LEARNING of Technology through the RNCS.


Grade 4

Investigates:


  • background

context to situation

  • Existing

products – identify main design aspects

    science process skills (if appropriate)

    Systems & Control:


    • Produce

    motion using simple mechanisms

    • Input

    - Output

    Impacts:


      technological products

      (express opinions on how these products makes lives easier)

      Designs:


        Design brief

        • possible

        solutions (linked to design brief & specifications and/or constraints.)

        • choice

        of solution with reasons

        Processing:


          Properties of materials (Physical & Chemical) and the influence these properties have on the effectiveness of products.

          Biases :


            technological products

            (Express opinions on how certain groups are disadvantaged by these products)

            Makes :


            Planning

            Materials list

            Tools list

            Neatness and safety

            Structures:


              Strengthening parts of and/or complete structures.

              Indigenous Technology:


              • Local

              Indigenous cultures

              (Describe use of scientific principles & technological products for specific purposes)

              Evaluates

              : - with assistance


              • Product

              according to brief

              • Suggests

              improvements/modifications to product if necessary



              Communicates:


              • 2D

              (1st ) *enhanced sketches / drawings (colour/ shading/ rendering)

                systems diagrams (input, process, output)

                • notes,

                labels, dimensions

                  SA drawing conventions (for above)
