1.1 assess the impact of pulley systems and gear systems on daily life;
2.2 use scientific inquiry/experimentation skills to investigate changes in force, distance, speed, and direction in pulley and gear systems]]> 2019-04-07 01:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349204387 12ch46 https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349209550 Have students create robotic pulleys and write instructions on how to do. Have a friend follow the instructions to see how well they were written. 
2.5 use a variety of forms (e.g., oral, written, graphic, multimedia) to communicate with different audiences and for a variety of purposes (e.g., write a set of instructions for setting up a pulley system) ]]> 2019-04-07 03:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349209550 12ch46 https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349209613  1. generate, gather, and organize ideas and information to write for an intended purpose and audience;
2. draft and revise their writing, using a variety of informational, literary, and graphic forms and stylistic elements appropriate for the purpose and audience
 3. use editing, proofreading, and publishing skills and strategies, and knowledge of language conventions, to correct errors, refine expression, and present their work effectively
4. reflect on and identify their strengths as writers, areas for improvement, and the strategies they found most helpful at different stages in the writing process. ]]> 2019-04-07 03:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349209613 12ch46 https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210369 Give students a job that they must complete with a pulley and have them problem solve to make the machine.
 2.3 use technological problem-solving skills (see page 16) to design, build, and test a pulley or gear system that performs a specific task ]]> 2019-04-07 03:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210369 12ch46 https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210437 Have students do research on a specific robotic tool or device in their daily life. They must do research on how it works and how it helps them.
1.3 gather information to support ideas for writing using a variety of strategies and oral, print, and electronic sources (e.g., identify key words to help narrow their searches; cluster ideas; develop a plan for locating information; scan texts for specific information, including teacher readalouds, mentor texts, reference texts, shared-, guided-, and independent-reading texts, and media texts) ]]> 2019-04-07 03:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210437 12ch46 https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210660 Help students develop new technological vocabulary by working on robotics.
3.3 confirm spellings and word meanings or word choice using different types of resources appropriate for the purpose (e.g., locate words in online and print dictionaries using alphabetical order, entry words, guide words, pronunciation, and homographs; use a variety of dictionaries such as a dictionary of idioms or homonyms; use a thesaurus to find alternative words) ]]> 2019-04-07 03:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210660 12ch46 https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210757 2019-04-07 03:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/12ch46/sygt972coi4a/wish/349210757
