KEY CONCEPT: Systems
RELATED CONCEPTS: Energy, Transformation
GLOBAL CONTEXT: Scientific and Technical Innovation
Conceptual understanding: We start the unit by exploring simple machines with the assistance of K’net Kits and Aspire online simulators. The students will use this knowledge to build simple mouse trap cars and test a variable of their choice.
Inquiry questions
FACTUAL
How can we describe the motion of an object?
CONCEPTUAL
