5-3d Build Knowledge

Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.
Picture
I can develop ideas for answers to issues.

4 I can teach how to develop ideas for answers to issues.
3 Without help, I can develop ideas for answers to issues.
2 With a little help, I can develop ideas for answers to issues.
1 I need a lot of help developing ideas for answers to issues.

Picture
Check with your learning partners to see if they need help.
1. Help give meaning to developing ideas for answers to issues in a way that makes sense to your learning partners.
2. Get ideas from others for answers to issues.
 
You will be successful if....
  1. You seek understanding from others for developing ideas for answers to issues.
      "Be a friend to yourself; do all you can to be wise. Try hard to understand, and you will be rewarded."

  2. You can describe the meaning of developing ideas for answers to issues to someone who needs help from you.
       "Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born           of wisdom."
       
To earn Kid's Choice, 
  1. Rephrase the learning target in your own words to a learning partner.
  2. Explain to a learning partner why today's learning target is important.

What is more fun then riding a roller coaster? Ask mechanical engineer Chris Gray and he’d say building one!
Picture
Picture
​1. Create your first roller coaster.
2. The first person to launch a successful ride will give 1 success tip to the class.
3. Learn how to craft a Super Coaster, then answer the questions. Work on your own or in teams of 2 or 3, each using your own google form. Don't just give each other answers, support learning and make each other think!
Google form with tips to build a super coaster. 8 correct out of 10 questions = 80%
4. Build a successful Super Coaster and read about your high score in the news!

Picture
​Is it a coincidence that the sun is 400 times bigger than the moon AND 400 times further away in order that we on earth can view a solar eclipse? Is this by random chance or because of a designed purpose? What do you think? Develop your ideas using either google docs or slides.
