Lesson 4: Observing Differences and Making a Standard Wind-up Essential Question What are the differences among different kinds of wind-ups? Task Identify differences among wind-ups, select a common type, and make wind-ups that all work the same way Standards: CCLS ELA – Writing: Text types and purposes; Research to build and present knowledge Speaking & Listening: Comprehension and collaboration Language: Vocabulary acquisition and use CCLS Math – MP2: Reason abstractly; MP6: Attend to precision; MP7: Look for and make use of Math Practices: structure Geometry: 2.G1 & 3G1: Reason with shapes and their attributes NGSS Scientific & Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions and defining problems; 8. Obtaining and evaluating information. Crosscutting Concepts: 1. Patterns; 2. Cause and effect: mechanism and prediction; 6. Structure and function; 7.

Identify differences Identifies No Recognizes differences in in wind-up differences in Identifies multiple possible differences construction or operation, construction and both operation causes for an issue identified but not both operation and construction B. Connect different Recognizes that different No Sorts designs wind-up designs with designs may operate Explains why different kinds of connections according to how different modes of differently, but does not wind-ups operate differently made they operate operation specify what type does what C. Understand the No Identifies differences among Suggest the need Connects standardization with need for a standard differences wind-up but does not seem to standardize, the need for a “fair test”
