Statement of inquiry
Technical innovations are both a function and product of dynamic changes in systems.
Inquiry questions
Factual— What are the pre-requisites for the development of systems? Conceptual— To what extent does a product meet universal needs? Debatable— Is the development of a system linear or iterative?
Objectives	Summative assessment
Objective A: Inquiring and analyzing  Due 8th Dec. Objective B: Developing ideas  Due 7th Jan 2015 Objective C: Creating a solution Due 29th Jan Objective D: Evaluating Due 23rd Feb	Outline of summative assessment task(s) including assessment criteria: There are many sports in existence, some retaining their original rules and practice, while others greatly changed in line with societal trends. Students are required to design and make a product that contributes towards sports, or create a product that will revolutionize a particular sport as we know it today.

Approaches to learning (ATL)
Collaboration: Make fair and equitable decisions; Listen actively to other perspectives and ideas; Give and receive meaningful feedback; Advocate for one’s own rights and needs. Communication: Give and receive meaningful feedbackduring presentations; Share ideas with multiple audiences using a variety of digital environments and media; Organize and depict information logically; Understand and use mathematical notation Transfer: Compare conceptual understanding across multiple subject groups and disciplines. Information Literacy Skills: Collect and analyse data to identify solutions and make informed decisions; Process data and report results. Critical Thinking: Practise observing carefully in order to recognize problems; Gather and organize relevant information to formulate an argument; Recognize unstated assumptions and bias;  Interpret data; Evaluate evidence and arguments;  Draw reasonable conclusions and generalizations CreativeThinking: Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products or processes.
