Unlock the secrets of systems in action!
Students will learn about various types of systems, their purposes, and components.
In grade 8 physical science, students will learn how to identify and analyze different systems and their components. Students will explore simple systems designs and components of various existing systems and prototypes of their own as they practice applying the scientific method and engineering principles to real-world problems.
Teaching instructions, with procedural steps and differentiation ideas for enrichment and students working below grade level, help make these lessons easy to teach and successful for all learners.
Worksheets cover:
1) What is a System? Introducing the Unit: Defining System Components and Purposes
2) System Investigation – Part One – Explain and Analyze a Pressurized System
3) System Investigation – Part Two – Choose a System to investigate – providing drawings and descriptions
The lesson is an exciting opportunity to get students actively engage with the scientific method and engineering principles. With thoughtful planning and meaningful learning activities students will be better prepared to recognize, analyze, and describe and design systems upon completion of this lesson.
