  • Applied Design and Technology

    Students are expected to be able to do the following:

    Applied Design

    Understanding context
    • Gather information about or from potential users
    Defining
    • Choose a design opportunity
    • Identify key features or user requirements
    • Identify the main objective for the design and any constraints
    Ideating
    • Generate potential ideas and add to others’ ideas
    • Screen ideas against the objective and constraints
    • Choose an idea to pursue
    Prototyping
    • Outline a general plan, identifying tools and materials
    • Construct a first version of the product, making changes to tools, materials, and procedures as needed
    • Record iterations of prototyping
    Testing
    • Test the product
    • Gather peer feedback and inspiration
    • Make changes and test again, repeating until satisfied with the product
    Making
    • Construct the final product, incorporating planned changes
    Sharing
    • Decide on how and with whom to share their product
    • Demonstrate their product and describe their process
    • Determine whether their product meets the objective and contributes to the individual, family, community, and/or environment
    • Reflect on their design thinking and processes, and their ability to work effectively both as individuals and collaboratively in a group, including their ability to share and maintain a co-operative work space
    • Identify new design issues

    Applied Skills

    Use materials, tools, and technologies in a safe manner, and with an awareness of the safety of others, in both physical and digital environments
    Identify the skills required for a task and develop those skills as needed

    Applied Technologies

    Use familiar tools and technologies to extend their capabilities when completing a task
    Choose appropriate technologies to use for specific tasks
    Demonstrate a willingness to learn new technologies as needed

    Content

    Students are expected to use the learning standards for Curricular Competencies from Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies 4-5 in combination with grade-level content from other areas of learning in cross-curricular activities to develop foundational mindsets and skills in design thinking and making.

  • Arts

    Students are expected to be able to do the following:

    Sequence objects, images, and events, and recognize the positive and negative aspects of continuities and changes in the past and present (continuity and change)
    Differentiate between intended and unintended consequences of events, decisions, and developments, and speculate about alternative outcomes (cause and consequence)
    Take stakeholders’ perspectives on issues, developments, or events by making inferences about their beliefs, values, and motivations (perspective)
    Make ethical judgments about events, decisions, or actions that consider the conditions of a particular time and place, and assess appropriate ways to respond (ethical judgment)

    Content

    Students are expected to know the following:
