Building of the Each group must do research, brainstorm ideas, come to a consensus Product and build a prototype of their building. Each group must complete a a Best 4 5 (Prototype, technical drawing with measurements and analysis of their design. Drawing must include possible surface and surface events that may model or the Step Step Artifact): affect structure. Possible Earth’s Prototype Construct Solution(s)/ Select Testing of the Test the models and record observations of what happened to the model Product during the test. (Prototype, model or Artifact): Solution(s) Peer-Review During construction, how did you test the stability of the Questions: building on your earthquake simulator model? 6 the Does your model demonstrates how the subsurface events Step ultimately effect the surface events of the Earth? Does building fit on testing base for the earthquake simulation Evaluate of your model? and Where did you use the circular objects? Why? Where did you use flat plane objects? Why? Test Project Written description of completed task and proposed solution to presented problem or scenario. Students should include a description Summary: and explanation of their design and summarize how the model performed during testing. the Presentation of Students will present their technical drawing and the results of how 7 Final Solution: their model performed during testing. Students should present their project like they would to the group of engineers at the firm (new job). Step Solution(s) Students will complete a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning to the following Communicate statement: How do subsurface events in the Earth cause changes to its surface? Re-designing of Based on peer reviews, teacher input, and analysis of proposed solution, the students are to re-design and rebuild a prototype of their the Prototype model. 8 Teacher Notes: Step Redesign
Step 4 Select the Best Possible Solution(s)/ Step 5 Construct a Prototype Building of the Product (Prototype, model or Artifact): Each group must do research, brainstorm ideas, come to a consensus and build a prototype of their building. Each group must complete a technical drawing with measurements and analysis of their design. Drawing must include possible surface and surface events that may affect Earth’s structure. Step 6 Test and Evaluate the Solution(s) Testing of the Product (Prototype, model or Artifact): Test the models and record observations of what happened to the model during the test. Peer-Review Questions: During construction, how did you test the stability of the building on your earthquake simulator model? Does your model demonstrates how the subsurface events ultimately effect the surface events of the Earth? Does building fit on testing base for the earthquake simulation of your model? Where did you use the circular objects? Why? Where did you use flat plane objects? Why? Step 7 Communicate the Solution(s) Project Summary: Written description of completed task and proposed solution to presented problem or scenario. Students should include a description and explanation of their design and summarize how the model performed during testing. Presentation of Final Solution: Students will present their technical drawing and the results of how their model performed during testing. Students should present their project like they would to the group of engineers at the firm (new job). Students will complete a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning to the following statement: How do subsurface events in the Earth cause changes to its surface? Step 8 Redesign Re-designing of the Prototype Based on peer reviews, teacher input, and analysis of proposed solution, the students are to re-design and rebuild a prototype of their model.
