Grade 8 Science: -Mechanical Systems: what machines are used in building robots like R2D2 etc.? -Light & Optics: What kind of light technology is used on movie sets? What kind of light is used in building robots (lasers, etc.)?
CTF: -building robots/computer software -designing a robot
Language Arts: -design your own planet-what does life on that planet look like? -persuasive essay/letter writing: promote your robot to a company
Grade 6 Sky Science.... - what is lightspeed? why can we say that everything we see in the nightsky is looking into the past? - is it possible for there to be two suns in a universe? Since a solar system is planets revolving around a sun... how would it work with two of them?
Curriculum connection, Gr 9 Science: Human Action on Species Survival--strand below
4. Identify impacts of human action on species survival and variation within species, and analyze related issues for personal and public decision making •describe the relative abundance of species on Earth and in different environments (e.g., note the overall abundance of insect species; note that in harsh environments there are relatively fewer species found than in temperate and tropical environments) •describe ongoing changes in biological diversity through extinction and extirpation of native species, and investigate the role of environmental factors in causing these changes (e.g., investigate the effect of changing river characteristics on the variety of species living in the river; investigate the effect of changing land use on the survival of wolf or grizzly bear populations) •evaluate the success and limitations of various local and global strategies for minimizing loss of species diversity (e.g., breeding of endangered populations in zoos, development of seed banks, designating protected areas, development of international treaties regulating trade of protected species and animal parts) •investigate and describe the use of biotechnology in environmental, agricultural or forest management; and identify potential impacts and issues (e.g., investigate issues related to the development of patented crop varieties and varieties that require extensive chemical treatments; identify issues related to selective breeding in game farming and in the rearing of fish stocks)
