Curriculum documents now identify skills and knowledge sets that are in addition to the specific confines of particular subjects or learning areas. One of these skills is ICT literacy but there are numerous others too. It's time to take a deeper look at how ICT can support the curriculum and the delivery of skills necessary to function in the 21st century.

On completion of this unit participants will be able to:

1. Investigate and source digital versions of curriculum documents from the national education authority's website
2. Determine what role for ICT has been envisaged by the national education authority as expressed within the official curriculum
3. Identify sixteen 21st century skills as defined by the World Economic Forum
4. Integrate at least two 21st century skills into their teaching and learning.

eerplandocumenten identificeren nu vaardigheden en kennispakketten die een aanvulling vormen op de specifieke grenzen van bepaalde vakken of leergebieden. Een van deze vaardigheden is ICT-geletterdheid, maar er zijn er nog veel meer. Het is tijd om dieper in te gaan op hoe ICT het leerplan kan ondersteunen en de vaardigheden kan aanleren die nodig zijn om te functioneren in de 21e eeuw.

Na afronding van dit onderdeel kunnen de deelnemers:

1. Digitale versies van curriculumdocumenten van de website van de nationale onderwijsautoriteit te onderzoeken en als bron te gebruiken.
2. Bepalen welke rol ICT volgens de nationale onderwijsautoriteit speelt in het officiële curriculum.
3. Zestien21st century skills identificeren zoals gedefinieerd door het World Economic Forum.
4. Ten minste twee21e eeuwse vaardigheden integreren in hun onderwijs en leren.

Patterns and processes of evolution. How evolution and natural selection are reflected in the similarities and differences of organisms. 

• Determine the variables that affect the strength and direction of the electric field for a static arrangement of charges.
• Investigate the variables that affect the strength of the electrostatic potential (voltage).
• Explain equipotential lines and compare them to the electric field lines.
• For an arrangement of static charges, predict the electric field lines. Verify the prediction using vector addition.

• 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.

• 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.
• Compare and contrast AC and DC circuits.

These videos look at how to compare decimals.

This online activity provides you with exercises on converting fractions to decimals.

• Relate the electrostatic force magnitude to the charges and the distance between them
• Explain Newton's third law for electrostatic forces
• Use measurements to determine Coulomb’s constant
• Determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive

In this lesson you will learn that:

• Circuit diagrams are used to show how electrical components are connected in a circuit.
• Individual circuit components are represented using circuit symbols.
• Current is the flow of electrons around a circuit.
• Ammeters are used to measure the current flowing through components. 
• Components in a circuit resist current flow.
• Voltmeters are used to measure the potential difference across components.
