1 CURRICULUM MAP Course/ Subject: Power, Energy & Transportation I Grade: 9-12 Month: September October Technology is created, used and modified by humans. A technological world requires that humans develop capabilities to solve technological challenges and improve products for the way we live. Technological literacy is the ability to use, assess and manage technology around us. A technological world requires that humans develop capabilities to solve technological challenges and improve products for the way we live. Simple Machine are the building blocks of more complex machines What constitutes a Simple Machine? How do we use Simple Machines to make life easier? How do we determine what Machine will work best for the application needed Simple Machines Name the 6 simple Written test Machines E5. Explain how the design of intelligent and non- Mechanisms Levers Velocity Ratio Name 3 parts of a lever Describe 3 types of levers Calculate Velocity ratio when given different levers Compare and contrast velocity Ratio and Mechanical Advantage Calculate Mechanical Diagram Worksheet Design a complex machine of simple machines. Design a working can crusher

2 intelligent transportation systems depends on Mechanical Advantage Advantage when given different levers Critique different designs

3 Month: October November Technology is created, used and modified by humans. Technological literacy is the ability to use, assess and manage technology around us. Technological design is a creative process that anyone can do which may result in new inventions and innovations. A technological world requires that humans develop capabilities to solve technological challenges and improve products for the way we live. Each area of technology has a set of characteristics that separates it from others; however, many areas overlap in order to meet human needs and wants. Everything has Potential Energy waiting to become Kinetic Energy Friction is the force that slows things down and wears objects out. How do you change one type of motion into another? How do friction and drag affect our everyday lives? How can we change Potential Energy into Kinetic Energy? Energy Define Kinetic Energy Kinetic Potential Define Potential Energy E5. Motion Rotary Linear Momentum Friction Define Rotary Motion Define Linear Motion Define Momentum Define Friction The students will design and Make a Mouse Trap Powered Car Written Test Documentation Packet to Include: Sketches showing possible design solutions Paragraph explaining why chosen design was chosen Paragraph explaining how they would improve their design if

4 Explain how the design of intelligent and nonintelligent transportation systems depends on they had it to do again.

5 Month: December/January Technology is created, used and modified by humans. Technological literacy is the ability to use, assess and manage technology around us. Technological design is a creative process that anyone can do which may result in new inventions and innovations. A technological world requires that humans develop capabilities to solve technological challenges and improve products for the way we live. Each area of technology has a set of characteristics that separates it from others; however, many areas overlap in order to meet human needs and wants. Aerodynamics is necessary in order to help reduce that amount of energy we use. How do friction and drag affect our everyday lives? How do you calculate Acceleration and Speed. Momentum Define momentum Design and make a dragster Friction: Define Friction Speed of the Dragster Heat Finish of the Dragster Slows Vehicle Define Drag Between 2 surfaces Written Safety Test Compare and Contrast Acceleration Friction and Drag Documentation Packet to E5. Explain how the design of intelligent and nonintelligent transportation systems depends on Drag: Air and Surface Machining: cutting Sanding Drilling Finishing Define Acceleration Safe use of Band saw Safe use of Drill Press Safe use of Sander Include: Sketches of possible design solutions Paragraph explaining why the student chose the design they chose Paragraph explaining how the student would improve their results if they had it to do again

6 Month: January / February Technology is created, used and modified by humans. Technological literacy is the ability to use, assess and manage technology around us. Technological design is a creative process that anyone can do which may result in new inventions and innovations. A technological world requires that humans develop capabilities to solve technological challenges and improve products for the way we live. Each area of technology has a set of characteristics that separates it from others; however, many areas overlap in order to meet human needs and wants. Magnetism is a strong power that can help reduce energy being used while transporting large amounts of goods and people. How does current flow? Why do we need to conserve energy? Why is traveling via magnetism more efficient? How can this technology greatly affect how we travel? Magnetism Define Magnetism Polarity Positive Negative Drag Energy conservation Define polarity Problem solving Determine how magnetism reduces drag Design and construct different Magnetic Levitation vehicles that satisfy the requirements of: Speed Propulsion Levitation Power system Determine polarity of a magnet Documentation packet to include: 3 sketches of potential vehicle

8 Month: March Technology is created, used and modified by humans. Technological literacy is the ability to use, assess and manage technology around us. Technological design is a creative process that anyone can do which may result in new inventions and innovations. A technological world requires that humans develop capabilities to solve technological challenges and improve products for the way we live. Each area of technology has a set of characteristics that separates it from others; however, many areas overlap in order to meet human needs and wants. Although many people do not think of boats as an important mode of transportation, it is very important in getting goods al over the world. Boats can carry large amounts of goods and materials safely and efficiently to help lower costs. What is Fluid Dynamics What is displacement and how is it measured Why is displacement and fluid dynamics important to the cost of our imported items? How does Transportation of goods affect our economy? Fluid Dynamics Define Fluid Dynamics Construct a vehicle that is: fluid dynamic Payload Define Payload carry a payload E5. Explain how the design of intelligent and non- Displacement Intermodal Transportation Determine displacement of different objects Explain the concept of intermodal transportation Calculate vehicle displacement with and without a payload Documentation packet to include: 3 sketches of potential Boat Hull Paragraph explaining why they chose the air foil they chose Paragraph explaining how they would improve their design if
