Outcomes for Science, Technology and Society (STS) and Knowledge
Students will:
1. Illustrate the development of science and technology by describing, comparing and interpreting mechanical devices that have been improved over time
2. Analyze machines by describing the structures and functions of the overall system, the subsystems and the component parts
3. Investigate and describe the transmission of force and energy between parts of a mechanical system
4. Analyze the social and environmental contexts of science and technology, as they apply to the development of mechanical devices

Unit D: Project
The Grade 8's will present their projects(catapults, mousetrap cars, Rube/Goldbergs) to the Grade 4's - who are also working on simple machines. Then Grade 8's will help the Grade 4's with their project - saving a lego man stuck on a burning building!
Awesome engagement! Also, Check out the exemplars in the following clips! |
