A Design and Technology Site

This website contains numerous information sheets and exercises to enhance the study, understanding and teaching of Design and Technology.

A World in Motion

A World In Motion brings math and science principles to life through highly interactive learning experiences that incorporate the laws of physics, motion, flight, and electronics. Each of the AWIM Challenges is designed around current math, science, and technology standards

Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation

The Lemelson Center documents, interprets, and disseminates information about inventions and innovations.  The center supports programs and events to encourage young people to be inventive and to recognize the role of invention and innovation in U. S. history.

Facilities Planning Guide

This guide was put together by Brian K. McAlister and Andrew J. Krueger;
University of Wisconsin-Stout - Department of Communication, Education, and Training.  This monograph addresses frequently asked questions encountered when planning technology education facilities. It incorporates a Question/Answer format.  Each section starts with an overarching question related to facility planning.  Each question is followed by a response. The monograph concludes with a summary and a list of final recommendations

Lab Safety

This includes safety guides, manuals, equipment lists and how to for specific power tools you might be using in your lab.

Online Learning Environment

Need some ideas for questions on your next quiz or a place for students to practice for Tech Bowl?  This is the perfect spot, with quizzes and activities related to over 50 technology education topics ranging from robotics to Kevlar!

Parliamentary Procedure Lessons

This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM) that deal with amendments, chapter team scripts and quizzes, motions, lesson plans, chapter team opening, and chapter team rubrics.

Playground Construction Lessons

This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM).  The site also has information about playground construction, simple machines, see saw physics, swing set physics, and jungle drop gym activities.  These activities have been used in grades 7-12 and have been both problem and project based and tie to all of our curricula.

Rubber Band Vehicles

This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM) that deals with academic integrators, how rubber band vehicles are made, lesson plans, simple machines, and how these lessons integrate into our curricula.

Scientific Visualization Activities

This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM) that deal with scientific visualization: bio-metrics, medical technology, nano-technology, weather, energy and power, and prosthetics.

Survival Guide for New Teachers

This guide was put together by Dr. Kilah Binderup and Dr. Mark Sanders from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.  This guide will assist teachers in planning, finding the job that is best for you, working within the system, working effectively with students, your technology facilities, finding resources, getting through to students, getting organized, evaluation and assessment.

Tech Topics

This website provides a learning center with interactive lessons on electricity and earthquakes.

Trebuchet Activities

This site includes curriculum, PowerPoint, lesson plans and integration of science technology engineering and math (STEM) that deal with lesson plans, types of gears, projectile launch projects, trebuchet kits, how to make catapults, Newton's Law of Motion, and the types of forces and they relate to our curricula.
