Rubbish recording and reduction: Part 1 (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this lesson sequence students survey and collect data concerning what is brought to school each day and subsequently becomes rubbish. They then use Excel to represent that data in a variety of different ways.

Rubbish recording and reduction: Part 2 (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this lesson sequence students use Excel to represent data in a variety of ways.

5-6

Eco-calculator (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this sequence of lessons students make a paper prototype of an eco-calculator to demonstrate human impact on the environment and suggest changes in behaviour. This is an unplugged activity with an opportunity to extend learning to create a digital solution using Scratch.

Is it going to rain today? (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this lesson sequence students understand the importance of data in effective decision-making, and are able to find, sort and interpret Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) rainfall data, and to collect their own data and analyse the resulting datasets.

7-8

There can only be one (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this lesson sequence students write a simple suite of programs that can be used to facilitate an S.R.C. election though the collection and processing of data. It assumes that students have been introduced to Python programming language.

9-10

Talk to me! (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this lesson sequence that focuses on input devices, students are explore the possibilities and new types of functionality enabled by these technologies over time.

Seven seasons (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

In this lesson sequence students investigate the CSIRO indigenous seasons calendars and produce a searchable database that will capture data using two data sources.

The shock of the new (Digital Technologies Hub lesson)

Using four inventions from 1985, this lesson sequence explores the impact of innovation, supporting circumstances, how individuals contribute to change and the importance of addressing benefits as well as risks in the development of new systems.
