Identify plastic types (heat-setting, heat-softening). Learn about plastic qualities. Learn how plastics are shaped. Work with plastics. Think about how plastics affect the environment. Encourage saving resources. Use plastics safely. Explore other materials like reeds, grass, leather, ceramics, glass, rubber, fibreglass, canvas. Research their qualities. Think about their effects. Make products. Reuse, recycle, and reduce waste. Use other materials safely. Expected Standard: Wood, manufactured boards, metals, plastics, and other materials used correctly and thoughtfully for the environment.

5.1 Electricity & Electronics
Specific Competence: Understand and use the basics of electricity and electronics. Learning Activities: Study electric current (how electricity flows), voltage (the push of electricity), and resistance (how much something slows down electricity). Learn Ohm's Law (a rule about these three). Build simple electric circuits (paths for electricity). Use parts like resistors (slow down current), capacitors (store charge), and diodes (let current flow one way). Expected Standard: Basics of electricity and electronics used accurately.
5.2 Information & Communication Technology (ICT)
Specific Competence: Use computer tools for design and making things. Learning Activities: Explore computer software for design (CAD - Computer-Aided Design).
