Last week, students designed a 20 cm tower then improved on their design using tips they acquired from the “8 step Engineering Design” INPUT and OUTPUT science lab stations. A-Day students were assigned a project to submit by Thursday 10/4 via Google Classroom. B-Day students will finalize their tower design tomorrow, 10/1/2018. Engineering Design Tower projects are due on 10/4 for A-Day students and Sunday 10/7 for B-Day students.
New findings in Science this week deal with learning how our body is a system of multiple subsystems that work together to keep us healthy and function normally.
Questions students need to become familiar with from this week’s lessons are:
- How do we know we’re sick?
- What are the symptoms?
- How does a body system act normally?
Science Vocabulary words to learn about are: symptom, homeostasis, respond, transmit, organs, body system
