Interactions
The
Interactions unit will guide students in observing and
explaining how objects interact when they act on each
other. Students will investigate and explain that
systems are composed of interacting parts with energy
inputs and outputs as well as changes over time to
include systems producing sound. Students will also
observe and investigate interactions that cause change
to materials such as ice cubes melt when heat is
interacted.
Critical Questions:
- Could some parts be removed from this system
without changing it?
- How do scientists make observations?
Suggested Time Frame: 3 Weeks
