Testing of the Does the prototype: Product Meet the criteria of the project? (Prototype, Meet all the constraints of the project? model or the Artifact): 6 Peer-Review What forces are acting on the structure? Questions: Evaluate Why would an artist need to know about forces when creating a Step mobile? Solution(s) and Explain the concept of and the factors affecting it “equilibrium” Test with your prototype. Project Written description of completed task and proposed solution to Summary: presented problem or scenario in any of the following forms of artifacts: Mobile Prototype Engineering Design Notes Solution(s) Journal/sketchbook entries 7 Records of conversations, decisions the Interviews Step Reflective paragraphs describing the progress of the project Group progress reports Presentation of Teams will present their mobile structures to the class. Final Solution: Presentations will focus on Balanced and Unbalanced forces Communicate concepts used to design and build their prototypes. Re-designing of What items would your team remove or add to your prototype the Prototype engineering design? Re-design: Create a new engineering design that shows these changes. Apply the changes to the prototype and test again. 8 Teacher Notes: Let the students know that the center of gravity is not consistent with the center of an object. The center is a geometric definition. The center Step Redesign of gravity focuses the forces and counter-forces acting on an object. This determines the point of balance where all forces are equal. Hierarchy of Living Things (STEM 1.0) Benchmark: SC.6.L.14.1 Describe and identify patterns in the hierarchical organization of organisms from atoms to molecules and cells to tissues to organs to organ systems to organisms.
