Dear Family Member,
Your student’s science class will soon begin studying the unit “Science and Engineering.”
The learning experiences in this unit prepare students for the mastery of the following Performance Expectations:
Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.
As they work toward success with these Performance Expectations, students will learn about more than just science content. They will also practice asking questions and defining problems, developing and using models, analyzing and interpreting data, constructing explanations and designing solutions, and engaging in argument from evidence. They will also explore how patterns can be observed in many areas of science.
Along with the skills listed above, students will explore environmental principles. In this unit, emphasis on environmental topics includes these principles:
The continuation and health of individual human lives and of human communities and societies depend on the health of the natural systems that provide essential goods and ecosystem services.
The long-term functioning and health of terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems are influenced by their relationships with human societies.
Natural systems proceed through cycles that humans depend upon, benefit from, and can alter.
The exchange of matter between natural systems and human societies affects the long term functioning of both.
Decisions affecting resources and natural systems are based on a wide range of considerations and decision-making processes.
