Principles of Technology


During the first few weeks of Principles of Technology the class did an experiment to find out the rollover rate of the students vehicles. In the pictures above some of the students in the PT class are taking measurements of the vehicles to find their center of gravity. In this class you will learn about four energy systems-mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal. PT gives students the tools they will need to adapt to the environments that you will face on the job. What makes PT really unique is that you learn everything from the experiments that you do and the students teach each other more than the teacher teaching the students. The following are a few things about Principles of Technology
| Designed for the middle 50 percent of high school students | |
| Allows students to discover and experience physics firsthand | |
| Exposes students to modern technical equipment | |
| Contains over 90 hands-on laboratory activities | |
| Teaches students the mathematical and scientific principles behind technology | |
| Focuses on problem-solving and mathematical skills | |
| Applies physics concepts to workplace situations |
