They study the component simple machines in complex machines, and track the transfer of force from input (effort) to output (work). In a design challenge, students identify work they want to perform, and invent a laborsaving machine to do the job. The design steps of planning, drafting, construction, troubleshooting and reliability testing are followed before students unveil their wonderful inventions to an awed crowd.

Identify activities among those you have designed already that would be appropriate for doing in a group, and explain why students would learn more with partners than by themselves. is primarily a group-project oriented course. All of the assignments are done in groups, except for four: the post-it flipbook, final project story idea, forward kinematic walks, and the hierarchical figure design. The remaining assignments: stick figure animations simple Infini-D tasks morphing hierarchical figure animation textures, lighting and camera positioning final project models sounds first draft of animation and camera motion final draft of animation and camera motion lighting and rendering compositing are all 2-person group projects (aside from the final project, which 3-5 students complete). In addition, we have a weekly group critique of the students' work in which the whole class participates. Many of the grouped assignments still require two projects to be handed in with a single person responsible for each. In this sense, the students do not necessarily need to work in a group, but do so because they're told it's required. In general, the reasons we have students work in groups is:

Home Learning Center Design Challenge Design Challenge is The Tech's signature pedagogy where students engage in the design process to solve a relevant, authentic, real-world problem. Students apply and reinforce their Science content knowledge, as well as Social Studies and Language Arts through an open-ended design process that results in an original solution. Students take responsibility for assessing their own progress and incorporate peer feedback. Design Challenges are student-centered and collaborative, forcing students to utilize personal experiences, interests, and abilities to enhance the learning of the team. They allow each and every student to leverage his or her potential. The design challenge creates powerful, intrinsic inspiration to learn and pride in achieving a goal. Why Teach Design Challenge?

Technology Curriculum for Eighth Grade Unit Five - Keyboarding The purpose of this Unit is to enable students to have the opportunity to have basic keyboarding skills. Timed tests will be administered and Keyboarding Software will be used for practice. Follow your teacher's instructions for learning keyboarding skills. Correct keyboarding is a very important skill and very necessary for success in High School and College as well as later in life. Suggested Keyboarding Programs: Mavis Beacon Unit Six - PowerPoint and DataBase Applications The purpose of this Unit is to learn basic skills necessary to use PowerPoint and Database (Access) applications for simple presentations or tasks. More advanced students may learn additional skills in one or both applications. Unit Seven - Transportation The purpose of this unit is to learn about the technologies used in all modes of transportation. The assignments will add a hands-on aspect to the theories of flight. Unit Eight - Small Machines The purpose of this Unit is to integrate the concepts of small machines with technology. Students will learn about Rube Goldberg and the unit will end with students making a small Goldberg-like machine. Unit Nine - Video Production The purpose of this Unit is to introduce the ins and outs of video production. Students will learn terminology of video/audio production and will end the unit by scripting and filming original video productions.

From the June 2000 issue) Arts Impact Middle School makes the grade By Nancy Patzer AIMS kids. Hallway mural The Short North area is known for its galleries and art stores, theaters and music festivals, but in addition, this district is home to one of the few arts-oriented schools in Columbus. Arts Impact Middle School (AIMS) on West Fourth Avenue is the only middle school in the Columbus Public School System with an emphasis on arts-infused curriculum, where students, grades six through eight, learn traditional subjects through the arts: music, dance, visual arts, theater, photography, and film. Before AIMS, there were no arts impact middle schools in Columbus. The school emerged from the revamping of several traditional schools. For years, Columbus Public Schools operated alternative/arts-oriented schools like Duxberry Alternative Arts Impact (Elementary) and Fort Hayes High School with no middle school connection. A few years ago, when the Board of Education was looking at the closure and restruc-turing of some of its schools, it created the Afrocentric School and the Spanish and French Immersion Schools (formerly elementary centers), making them K-8 Centers. At the same time, the arts community was expressing a similar desire for an arts/alternative middle school link. In response to this need, the board created the Arts Impact Middle School. Everett Middle School closed in order to accommodate AIMS, which was established in its current location with the 1998-1999 school year. Prior to moving to its present site on West Fourth Avenue in the Short North, the school was housed for two years in a temporary site at Sharon Elementary School. Initially there were only about ten teachers at AIMS. In its fourth year of operation, faculty and staff now number around sixty. AIMS produced its first graduating class of 200 students in the spring of last year and recently received a $50,000 grant, an Ohio Governor's
