Overview
 
This curriculum is a 18-week (semester) plan designed to provide eighth grade students with an introduction to the utilization of the universal systems model (input, process, output, and feedback).  Students will learn how various systems work together.  Technological systems reinforce the areas of math, science, social studies, and language arts through hands-on activities and practical applications.
 
This course is also designed to assist students in examining various systems, such as electrical, magnetic, mechanical, fluid, structural, natural, thermal, chemical, and  information.  It will also help students to be able to utilize the universal systems model to design and produce a technological product.
