Materials: Engagement Asking questions (for Helmet science) and defining melons Exploration problems (for Computers with internet access engineering) Sports-Related Head Injuries Note Sheet Explanation Developing and using models Preparation: Extension Make sure computers are available for students and that the following websites Planning and carrying out Evaluation are accessible: investigations Sports-Related Head Injuries: Analyzing and interpreting data Concussions: mathematics and computational thinking Constructing explanations (for science) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE): designing solutions (for engineering) Engaging in argument from evidence Traumatic Brain Injury: Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Facilitation of Learning Experience: Bring a helmet to class and a small melon. The melon should be able to fit inside of the helmet.
