Grade Six through Eight and how they are linked to Ollie’s World
Grades sixth through eighth in the Ohio Academic content standards states that the following concepts should be covered. Students should recognize that science and technology are interconnected and that using technology involves assessment of the benefits, risks, and costs. Students should build scientific and technological knowledge, as well as the skill required to design and construct devices. In addition, they should develop the process to solve problems and understand that problems may be solved in several ways. Six-eight graders should describe and illustrate the design process and describe the positive and negative impacts of human activity and technology have on the environment.
