Objective this week: STEM project - systems building.
The purpose of this class for the week is to comply with and satisfy the Next Generation Science Standard crosscutting concept of systems building. Essentially, this is a way of investigating how changing parts of a system can affect the entire system as a whole. The plan for the week is to practice electrical wiring and electrical concepts to build a system that accomplishes several specific tasks and meets certain constraints. It gives students hands-on and real-world reasoning skills I usually write day-by-day plans, but this week largely depends on the progress the students make on their models. The first part of the week will be writing and designing the models. The second half of the week will include testing phases. By the end of the week, students should have more practice at designing, building and testing systems.
