SAE Summer STEM 6

Standard: MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. Objective: Students will test their modified structures with Sir Dumpty's offspring and reflect on how to optimize their structural designs. 1. Do Now: Class Survey 2. Finish structures 3.  The Final Test 4.  Award Ceremony 5. Class Activities

Standard: MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. Objective: Stud ents will test their structures with crash test eggs and make improvements, as needed, for official tests tomorrow. 1. Redesign Pre-Quiz 2. Reflection 3. Crash Test 4. Re-design 5. Redesign Post Quiz

Standard: MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. Objective: Students will use their blueprint to build a structure that prevents one of Sir Dumpty's offspring from breaking after a great fall. 1. Construction Pre-Quiz 2. Review blueprints 3. Build Design 4. Easter Egg Test Run 5. Re-design 6. Construction Post-Quiz

Standard: MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. Objective: Students will identify the design constraints for the structure to protect Sir Dumpty's offspring and draft a blueprint for their group's plan. 1. Blueprint Pre-Quiz 2. Reviewing the Problem 3. Prizes 4. Design constraints 5. Video examples     A. Video A     B. Video B     C. Video C     D. Video D 6. Materials 7. Brainstorm blueprint 8. Blueprint Post Quiz

Standard: MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved. Objective: Students will establish group norms after identifying the need for designing a structure that prevents one of Sir Dumpty’s offspring from breaking after a great fall. 1. Sir Dumpty's Tragic Tale 2. Group Roles and Contracts 3. Egg Decorations and Backstory

Standard: MS-LS3-2. Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Objective: Students will complete monohybrid and dihybrid Punnett Squares to determine their monster offspring and explain how genotypes determine phenotypes. 1. Do Now: Dihybrid Punnett Squares Pre-Quiz 2. Dihybrid Punnett Squares 3. Monster Offspring 4. Written Connections 5. Exit Slip:  Dihybrid Punnett Squares  Post Quiz

Standard: MS-LS3-2. Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation. Objective: Students will use a Punnett Square to determine all the  possible c ombinations of a dihybrid cross and explain how genotype determines phenotype 1. Do Now: Monohybrid vs. Dihybrid Crosses Pre-Quiz 2. Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament 3. Dominant, Recessive, Shoot! 4. Monohybrid vs. Dihybrid Crosses 5. Exit Slip: Monohybrid vs.  Dihybrid Crosses  Post Quiz
