![]() We will experiment with aerodynamics while designing balsa wood race cars, and calculate their distance and velocity. With the use of the fabrication lab, the learner will design and build projects. Drafting, both manual and computer-aided, will be examined in this course. 3D Modeling & Design (7th & 8th Grade):ģD Modeling and Design allows students to learn how the design process works through engineering and design activities. Safe and proper use of equipment will be integrated in the course. ![]() An emphasis is put on critical thinking, problem solving and quality of work. Creative use of project design and materials is stressed. Projects may include a lamp, table, shelving unit, carving project, basic box, bird houses stool, and a lathe project. Students will learn measurement, basic joinery, project layout, materials calculation, hand and power tools, basic lamp wiring, construction and finishing techniques. ![]() Woods Crafts is a hands-on course designed for students to learn the processes and skills to produce quality wood projects. This course is a pre-cursor to the high school robotics program and a part of the K-12 robotics articulation. Interactive, hands-on learning is the structure of this class. As students become familiar with the programming and the NXT hardware, they may progress at their own pace allowing for differentiation in student abilities and learning styles. They will have the opportunity to complete multiple investigations involving guided research, problem solving, working in teams and documenting what they've learned as they investigate how robots make decisions to navigate their environment. Students will learn how to use information from sensors, applied mathematics and measurement to program their robot to perform in a series of environments. Robotics Engineering 1 is a semester long class designed to introduce the basics of robotics as it teaches science technology engineering and mathematics (STEM). Exploring Technology & Engineering Concepts (7th & 8th Grade):Įxplores the development of technology and how it is changing our world. Students learn to use "tools of our time", including computers, shop tools and equipment, transportation systems, production equipment, robots, wind tunnels and many other exciting high-tech items. They explore the topics of invention, design, manufacturing, Lego robotics, transportation, communication, and work on a different project related to the topic of study. This class will provide the foundation for additional Technology Education curriculum offered to seventh and eighth grade students. ![]() Students learn about the history of technology, shop tools and safety, the seven primary categories of technology, and work on different projects using shop tools & equipment. During each unit Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts will be integrated to provide the student with 21st century skills and help build technological literacy. We also support student field trips to the American Southwest, Costa Rica, Germany and other European countries on a yearly basis, that provides enriching outreach opportunities for our students.Exciting and fast paced hands-on/minds-on course, students will explore areas of technology and engineering from Electronics to Rocketry. Webber students also participate in PSD middle school athletics, where our school community has won 50+ district championships over the last 25 years. Students can also participate in drama, theater, outdoor living, Science Olympiads, Math Counts, The WAVE program and our student leadership program (Web Leaders). Webber also offers a wide variety of enrichment activities for our students that include our award winning band, orchestra and choir programs. Webber has as 1:1 laptop home/school program for all students. These core academic areas are balanced with other choices in electives, arts and athletics to ensure a whole child approach to learning. We offer challenging academic class options, including honors courses in a variety classes and a full elective wheel for 6th grade students. ![]() Webber Middle School offers academically rigorous, standards-based curriculum for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Throughout the school community, 6 Ps are emphasized: Prompt, Polite, Positive, Productive, Prepared, and Participate. Webber Middle School, opened in 1990, is named for Don Webber, former PSD teacher, coach, principal, and superintendent. ![]()
