Machines in Motion

Bryant Elementary School, A Pacific Bell Education First Demonstration Site

Student Outcomes and Assessment

  • Students will demonstrate understanding of basic concepts of design and mechanical engineering needed for building models of machines which move. Assessment: Machines work, and students can explain how they work.
  • Students will formulate and ask questions to aid in problem solving that will enable the students to build the type of models that they envision grounded in the scientific processes. Assessment: Student journals, teacher observation.
  • Students will demonstrate and communicate their understanding of motion and machinery. Assessment: explaining their designs/ projects through writing, site-based presentations and /or video conferencing.
  • students will demonstrate the skills to troubleshoot and problem solve using analysis, inferrence, and data collection to make sense of seemingly disparate information. Assessment: Student reflection, teacher observation.
  • Students will display a culminating project during science fair which will draw on the learning and knowledge base developed across the entire school year.
  • Students will be able to write and utilize LOGO programming to control their robotics model. (Year 2)
