Unit Title
Unit Description
FOSS Kit:
Variables
(Scientific Reasoning & Technology)
Students engage in scientific inquiry. They identify and control variables and conduct controlled experiments using several multivariable systems. They observe and compare the outcomes of experiments identify relationships between independent and dependent variables, graph relationships, and make predictions using the results of their experiments.
Investigation 1 – Swingers (Pendulums)
Investigation 2 – Lifeboats
Investigation 3 – Plane Sense
Investigation 4 – Flippers (Catapults)
FOSS Kit:
Levers & Pulleys
(Physical Science)
Students conduct investigations using two kinds of simple machines, levers and pulleys. They set up systems, measure outcomes, and record using conventional diagrams. They relate the force needed to lift a load to the advantage resulting from simple machines. They graph to organize and interpret results of investigations.
Investigation 1 – Levers
Investigation 2 – More Leverage
Investigation 3 – Pulleys
Investigation 4 – Pulleys at Work
