Inquiry: Machines and Mechanisms
On-Site School Program
Curriculum Connections:
Strand A : STEM Investigation and Communication Skills
| A1.3 | use an engineering design process and associated skills to design, build, and test devices, models, structures, and/or systems |
|---|---|
| A1.4 | follow established health and safety procedures during science and technology investigations, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and clothing and safely using tools, instruments, and materials |
| A1.5 | communicate their findings, using science and technology vocabulary and formats that are appropriate for specific audiences and purposes |
Strand D : Structures and Mechanisms
| D2.1 | identify machines that are used in daily life, and describe their purposes |
|---|---|
| D2.2 | identify the parts of various mechanisms and describe the purpose of each part |
| D2.3 | describe how different mechanisms transmit various types of motion, including rotary motion, from one system to another |
| D2.4 | describe how mechanisms transform motion, including how they can change the geometric plane in which the motion occurs and the speed and/or direction of motion |
| D2.5 | explain how forces are changed in a variety of machines |
