Technology Mind Map


This activity will allow students to expand their ideas on technology. In pairs students will work towards making a complex mind map relating to everyday uses and effects of electromagnetic radiation and describing benefits and problems of using biotechnology. Students can expand and collapse to make the mind map smaller or bigger (template shown below). This activity will allow students to back up their ideas about what are the effects of technology and thoughts that are raised can be discussed within the classroom. At the end of the activity students will show teacher the mind map and a bigger version of all the work will be placed into one mind map which will be placed up in the classroom for the year where students can refer to.

Outcome 5.12: A student relates the interactions involved in using some common technologies to their underlying scientific principles.
5.12 Technology
a) Describe some everyday uses and effects of electromagnetic radiation, including applications in communication technology
c) Describe some benefits and problems of using biotechnology
