 International- Intl. Technology Education Association: Standards for Technology Literacy |
| • Category : Technology and Society
|
| • Standard 5: Students will develop an understanding of the effects of technology on the environment.
|
| • Grade Range : 6-8
|
|  Benchmark E: Technologies can be used to repair damage caused by natural disasters and to break down waste from the use of various products and systems.
New building technologies and landscaping techniques can be used to reduce the effects of earthquakes and major storms. In addition, innovative ways of reducing waste production can aid in repairing the environment. For example, the use of bacteria in sewage treatment helps to clean human waste prior to being released into rivers and lakes.
