1 SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVES Accessible science and technology Rich STSE connections make science and technology meaningful Multiple opportunities to Differentiate Instruction Accessible reading levels promote understanding Cross-curricular support for literacy and numeracy

2 KEY CHANGES TO THE REVISED CURRICULUM 1. NEW Science, Technology, Society, Environment (STSE) emphasis more prominence in the list of expectations 2. NEW STSE expectations are better articulated with sample issues, problems, and guiding questions 3. NEW Inclusion of Fundamental Concepts and Big Ideas 4. ENHANCED Focus on literacy and numeracy skills 5. NEW Achievement chart category of Thinking and Investigation unique to science and technology 6. REDUCED From five strands and topics to four significant change in expectations Nelson Science and Technology Perspectives has been carefully aligned with the final version of the Grades 7 and 8 Ontario Science and Technology curriculum offering the best match to the final curriculum! NELSON S RESEARCH FOUNDATION: Nelson Science and Technology Perspectives is a researchinformed resource based on current best practices including: Student confidence-building strategies Linkages between engagement, reading level, and student interest Constructivism Diagnostic assessment Differentiated instruction Opportunities for problem-solving and reflection

Attached to a string, its flight turns on the lamp switch (C). The light from the lamp shines through the magnifying glass (D) burning through the string holding the specially weighted tee (E), which drops and sticks into the ground (F). At the same time, the rabbit (A) also spins the boot (G), which kicks the mass (H). The swinging mass pulls the lever on the gumball machine (I), releasing a golf ball, which rolls down to the tee (J). - 1!
