In this unit, we will demonstrate how technology can contribute to teaching, learning, administration and professional development.

By the end of this unit, you should be able to use ICT to:

• add value to your lesson planning
• make lesson content, more professional
• provides learners with tools to demonstrate what they have learned and demonstrate new competencies
• complete educator administrative duties
• connect with other educators and pursue further professional development

In deze unit laten we zien hoe technologie kan bijdragen aan lesgeven, leren, administratie en professionele ontwikkeling.

Aan het einde van deze unit moet je in staat zijn om ICT te gebruiken om:

• waarde toe te voegen aan je lesplanning
• lesinhoud professioneler te maken
• leerlingen hulpmiddelen aan te reiken om te demonstreren wat ze hebben geleerd en nieuwe competenties aan te tonen
• administratieve taken van docenten uit te voeren
• in contact te komen met andere leerkrachten en verdere professionele ontwikkeling na te streven

The internet and internet-enabled technologies are continuing to develop at a very fast pace. This has many benefits, but it also changes the way in which students learn, communicate and interact. Learners are keen and avid users of the internet and mobile technologies. They are seen as ‘digital natives’, always surrounded by technologies. There are many social, educational and economic benefits for learners in using ICTs but learners do need to understand what is acceptable and appropriate behaviour in an online society.

On completion of this unit of study you will be able to:

• Model and instill in students appropriate behavior when communicating online, i.e. netiquette
• Identify digital citizenship knowledge, skills and values
• Design a lesson that incorporates digital citizenship competencies.

Het internet en op het internet gebaseerde technologieën blijven zich razendsnel ontwikkelen. Dit heeft veel voordelen, maar het verandert ook de manier waarop leerlingen leren, communiceren en met elkaar omgaan. Leerlingen zijn fervente en enthousiaste gebruikers van het internet en mobiele technologieën. Ze worden gezien als 'digital natives', altijd omringd door technologieën. Het gebruik van ICT heeft veel sociale, educatieve en economische voordelen voor leerlingen, maar leerlingen moeten wel begrijpen wat aanvaardbaar en gepast gedrag is in een online maatschappij.

Na afronding van deze onderwijseenheid bent u in staat om:

• Modelleer en breng leerlingen passend gedrag bij wanneer ze online communiceren, d.w.z. netiquette
• Kennis, vaardigheden en waarden met betrekking tot digitaal burgerschap identificeren
• Een les ontwerpen die de competenties van digitaal burgerschap omvat.

• Explore basic electricity relationships.
• Explain basic electricity relationships in series and parallel circuits.
• Use an ammeter and voltmeter to take readings in circuits.
• Provide reasoning to explain the measurements and relationships in circuits.
• Build circuits from schematic drawings.
• Determine if common objects are conductors or insulators.

You have learnt about static electricity where charged particles (electrons) can move from one object into another giving objects an overall charge. In this unit1 you will learn about current electricity. This is when a continuous flow of charge can be created using a circuit made of conducting wires and an energy source.

The flicker of numbers on a handheld calculator, nerve impulses carrying signals of vision to the brain, an ultrasound device sending a signal to a computer screen, the brain sending a message for a baby to twitch its toes, an electric train pulling into a station, a hydroelectric plant sending energy to metropolitan and rural users—these and many other examples of electricity involve electric current, which is the movement of charge. Humanity has harnessed electricity, the basis of this technology, to improve our quality of life. 

The particle model of matter is one of the most useful scientific models because it describes matter in all three states. Understanding how the particles of matter behave is vital if we hope to understand science!

The model also helps us to understand what happens to the particles when matter changes from one state to another.

In this unit, you will explore the three phases of matter and then look at the properties and differences between them. You will explore their shape, volume, and kinetic energy.

In this unit you will learn about different materials by investigating and observing the behaviour of their properties. This will include learning about the differences between metals and non-metals; whether they are isolators or conductors of electricity and heat, whether they are magnetic, how dense they are and whether they are acidic or basic.
