Common Core ELA Standards:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.2: Determine the central ideas or
conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or
information presented in a text by paraphrasing them in simpler but
still accurate terms.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.11-12.3: Follow precisely a complex multistep
procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or
performing technical tasks.
Main challenge: How to make the 4 LEDs blink sequentially.
- Students will search for a code on the internet.
- Students will connect the 4 LEDs with Arduino to control the LEDs.
- Students will try to write the code and upload it on the Arduino
board.
DIY challenge
Big challenge: Students are required to utilize various motion transfer
mechanisms to construct a lifting machine capable of lifting weights at
different distances.
Level 1: Use the lifting machine to lift weights to a short distance.
Level 2: Use the lifting machine to lift weights to a moderate distance.
Level 3: Use the lifting machine to lift weights to a considerable
distance.Tools and materialsAssessments:Formative AssessmentsStudents will be asked various questions after the explanation through
slides/YouTube videos. They will be assessed for the understanding of
the project. Project and its materials will be discussed.Summative assessment:Prototype
