Complete Week 4 Readings and Videos
Detailed Lesson Plan #3: Incorporate in your Unit Plan a detailed lesson plan for a multi-day laboratory investigation, simulation, engineering design challenge, or research paper, including a template for a lab or research report, and laboratory safety rules. All student products should include observations, data, discussion, revision, critical thinking, and reflection.
Post the completed lesson plan to Blackboard, and post student-facing assignment to Google Classroom.
6. MS-PS1-6. Plan and conduct an experiment involving exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions to measure and describe the release or absorption of thermal energy.
6. MS-PS1-8(MA). Conduct an experiment to show that many materials are mixtures of pure substances that can be separated by physical means into their component pure substances.
6.MS-ETS1-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution. Include potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.*
6. MS-ETS1-5(MA). Create visual representations of solutions to a design problem. Accurately interpret and apply scale and proportion to visual representations.*
6. MS-ETS1-6(MA). Communicate a design solution to an intended user, including design features and limitations of the solution.
7. MS-LS2-5. Evaluate competing design solutions for protecting an ecosystem. Discuss benefits and limitations of each design.*
7. MS-PS2-3. Analyze data to describe the effect of distance and magnitude of electric charge on the strength of electric forces.
7. MS-PS3-1. Construct and interpret data and graphs to describe the relationships among kinetic energy, mass, and speed of an object.
Clarification Statements:
• Examples could include riding a bicycle at different speeds and rolling different-sized rocks downhill.
• Consider relationships between kinetic energy vs. mass and kinetic energy vs. speed separate from each other; emphasis is on the difference between the linear and exponential relationships.
State Assessment Boundary:
• Calculation or manipulation of the formula for kinetic energy is not expected in state assessment.
7. MS-PS3-2. Develop a model to describe the relationship between the relative positions of objects interacting at a distance and their relative potential energy in the system.
7. MS-PS3-3. Apply scientific principles of energy and heat transfer to design, construct, and test a device to minimize or maximize thermal energy transfer.*
7. MS-PS3-4. Conduct an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, how well the type of matter retains or radiates heat, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.
7. MS-PS3-7(MA). Use informational text to describe the relationship between kinetic and potential energy and illustrate conversions from one form to another.
