Standards-Based Lessons

In the Hopper Race lesson, student pairs design multiple prototypes to find the most effective way to move a robot without using wheels. In this lesson, your students will:

  • Define a problem with constraints and criteria

  • Optimize their solutions through systematic testing

  • Use and seek failure as a tool to improve their solutions

  • Pose meaningful and answerable scientific questions

  • Use data and evidence to support their conclusions

Standards Mapping

  • Next Generation Science Standards
    • MS-ETS1-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.
  • Common Core
    • CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.1.C Pose and respond to specific questions with elaboration and detail by making comments that contribute to the topic, text, or issue under discussion.
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.EE.B.7 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.”]
