Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science, and Technology at Three Levels

Standard 5-Technology - Elementary

Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs.

Management of Technology

7. Project management is essential to ensuring that technological endeavors are profitable and that products and systems are of high quality and built safely, on schedule, and within budget.

Students:

participate in small group projects and in structured group tasks requiring planning, financing, production, quality control, and follow-up.
speculate on and model possible technological solutions that can improve the safety and quality of the school or community environment.

This is evident, for example, when students:

     help a group to plan and implement a school project or activity, such as a school picnic or a fund-raising event.
     plan as a group, division of tasks and construction steps needed to build a simple model of a structure or vehicle.
     redesign the work area in their classroom with an eye toward improving safety
