Students explore the use of wind power in the design, construction and testing of "sail cars," which, in this case, are little wheeled carts with masts and sails that are powered by the moving air generated from a box fan. The scientific method is reviewed and reinforced with the use of controls and variables, and the engineering design process is explored. The focus of the activity is on renewable energy, as well as the design, testing and redesign of small cars made from household materials. The activity (and an extension worksheet) includes the use of kinematic equations using distance, time traveled and speed to enforce exponents and decimals.

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. In a hands-on activity, students build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are conductors or insulators. In another activity, students use their understanding of electrical properties to choose appropriate materials to design and build their own basic circuit switch.
DIY Video~ How to wire your home?After spending time learning about the various ways to wire outlets ( two way and three way) and light switches, the students had to create an imovie that was designed as a Do It Yourself video that specifically explains the various components and steps to wire light switches and outlets in a home.

This assessment piece was from the first unit of a first time course my co-op teacher and I developed. The course teaches construction and computer assisted design through building guitars. For this project students were asked to create a guitar model based on the Fender Telecaster. It assessed skills we had been working on for about a month prior to this assessment. Their models for this particular assignment would have to be compared to exemplars and blueprints as accuracy is of extremely high importance when building a guitar. There was other projects leading up to the unit that assessed their technical as well as creative skills.
This is a 4 point rubric (unsatisfactory, emerging, proficient, and exceptional) and assess Drafting modules 27 and 28 that focus on interpreting blueprints and creating high quality models. The first of 7 C's this rubric assesses is Communication. Students are being assessed on their competency and literacy of CAD programs and how professionals would be communicating in the field. The second C this rubric covers is developing computer and digital technologies. Students, through completing this unit are using computers and digital resources to create products.
