Lesson 6: Making a Simple Mechanimation Essential Question How can I make my MechAnimation do what I designed it to do? Task Create a MechAnimation that tells a story or relates an idea Standards CCLS ELA – Writing: Production and distribution of writing Vocabulary Language: Speaking & Listening: Comprehension and collaboration; presentation of knowledge and ideas NGSS Scientific & Engineering Practices 3. Planning and carrying out investigations Crosscutting Concepts: 1. Patterns; 6. Structure and function Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS2.A: Forces and Motion; ETS1: Engineering Design Outcomes Students create their own MechAnimations Students develop troubleshooting strategies and techniques to address issues as they arise. Assessment Objective: Below (1) Approaching (2) Proficient (3) Advanced (4) Build, test and Nothing built are not working; MechAnimation works as Elaborate and/or multiple troubleshoot a difficulty in planned; evidence of MechAnimations and/or MechAnimation troubleshooting troubleshooting to make assistance to other students it work in troubleshooting Advance Preparation Prepare a Troubleshooting Chart like the one below: Issue Cause Fix Materials MechAnimation plans from Lesson 4 Cardboard mechanisms from Lesson 5 Cardboard strips and bases; Paper fasteners MechAnimation stories and mechanism diagrams from the previous lesson Craft materials Science Notebooks Procedure
