Lessons in Technology / Grades 5-8
Welcome to the Technology Classroom! Here lessons are arranged by theme. The order listed within a theme develops a progression of concepts, and is the recommended sequence to follow. Many lessons use simple supplies that students can bring from home or are easily obtained from craft, hardware, grocery and "mart"-type department stores. Additional teacher guidelines are given as needed within the lessons. Many of these lessons can be performed also at home as family "adventures in technology".
