Mystery 1: Speed & Energy

How can a car run without gas?

When something is moving, it has energy. Moving things get their energy from stored energy, and energy can be stored in different ways (such as gasoline, batteries, or even food). DCIs: PS3.B, Foundational for PS3.A

Students build rubber-band racers and use them to carry​ ​out​ ​an​ ​investigation to examine the relationship between stored energy and motion. Students analyze​ ​and​ ​interpret​ ​data​ from their races. As engineers, students modify their racers to improve how well they move.

Social Studies-

Unit: Native American Tribes

In this unit, students will learn about Native American life in the 5 major regions of the U.S. They will see the similarities and differences between the Native American tribes, both in the past and today. They will learn about the culture and traditions of the different tribes. Through the reading of articles, students will also gain an understanding of the impact that settlers had on Native American life. The unit will culminate in a unit exam and a final project where students express what they have learned through artistic murals.

Activity: Mapping Native American Tribes

Students will create a U.S. map showing the different regions in which various Native American tribes lived.

Northeast Woodland Tribes

Students will learn about the traditions, culture, and history of the tribes in the Northeast Woodland region, and will gain a deep understanding of the Wampanoag involvement in the “first Thanksgiving.”

Article: The Iroquois

Activity:

Students build​ ​a​ ​model​ ​of a roller coaster and carry out an investigation using marbles. Students analyze​ ​and interpret​ ​data​ from the model to explain​ the connection between height, energy and motion.

Science

Giving something “height” (putting it up high) is another way to store energy in something. When the object falls or drops, that stored energy is released: this explains why roller coasters work, but also bicycling downhill, skiing, skydiving, even meteors. The higher up you place an object, the more energy you store in it, and the faster it goes when released or dropped. DCIs: PS3.A
