Lesson 1: Core Technologies

The document provides instructions for a lesson asking students to categorize subsystems from a video into core technologies. Students are asked to: 1) Sort subsystems identified in a video into categories of mechanical, structural, electrical, fluid, optical, thermal, material, and electronic. 2) Propose how optical and biotechnology core technologies could be included if not represented. 3) Create a visual diagram showing the relationships among core technologies in the device from the video.

Unit 3: Systems

Lesson 1: Core Technologies


File 3.1.1: Categorizing the Core Technologies
Step 1: In your small groups, sort the subsystems you identified during the video into the
following categorieswhich are known as the Core technologiesin the table below. Core
technologies represent subsystems within a larger, more complex system.
Step 2: If your group did not see one of the core technologies represented, propose how it
could be included in the device depicted in the video.
Step 3: Create a visual diagram representing the relationship among the core technologies
shown in the device.

Subsystem from Device in Video

Step 1
Mechanical
They used an engine in a
car to make it go.

Structural
When they put that table
together to make sound.

Electrical
Making a car window go
down.

Fluid
They used some kind of
liquid to make the thing
go slower.

Optical
None

Thermal
They used some kind of
machine to make the car
go.

Material

Electronic

Biotechnology

They used a welding tool


to weld some of the
materials together.

When they made the car


move.

None

Step 2
1. The following core technologies were not represented in the device:

2. The _Optical_ core technology could be included by: Using some kind of light to
make something move.
3. The _Biotechnology_ core technology could be included by: I dont know.

2
Create a visual graphic/organizer that shows the relationship (i.e. the lever [mechanical] is
held in place by a Popsicle stick bridge [structural]) among the core technologies for the
device depicted in the video. Attach your graphic to this worksheet.
