|
Science as Inquiry- Content Standard A |
| Students
will learn to formulate questions, design an investigation,
execute this investigation, interpret the
data and use the evidence to generate explanations.
|
| Students
will practice communicating scientific procedures and
explanations. They will gain competency in following
instructions, describing observations, communicating
experimental methods, and summarizing their results and
the results of other groups. |
| Physical
Science - Content Standard B |
| The
student will observe the motion of an object and learn
how this motion can be described by its position,
direction of motion, and speed. |
|
Students will examine and reduce forces that cause
objects to deviate from a straight line and a constant
speed. |
|
Students will understand that unbalanced forces
cause change in speed. |
|
Student will further their understanding of energy
as a property of many substances associated with
mechanical motion, heat and sound. The transfer of energy
from potential to kinetic is also investigated. |
| Science
and Technology- Content Standard E |
| Students
will communicate design ideas with blueprints and models. |
| Students
will find that perfect designs do not exist because constraints
such as friction and cost will always exist. |
| Students
will observe and evaluate their design after each planned
revision. |
