Wheels and Levers/Building Devices
Science Inquiry: General Learner Expectations Students will:
4-1 Investigate the nature of things, demonstrating purposeful action that leads to inferences supported by observations.
4-2 Identify patterns and order in objects and events studied; and record observations, using pictures, words and charts, with guidance in the construction of charts; and make predictions and generalizations, based on observations.
Science Inquiry: Specific Learner Expectations Students will:
Focus
4-3 Investigate a practical problem, and develop a possible solution.
Note:The problem will involve building a structure with moving parts, using available materials.
Problem Solving Through Technology: Specific Learner Expectations Students will:

Science Inquiry: Specific Learner Expectations Students will:
Focus
- ask questions that lead to exploration and investigation
- identify one or more possible answers to questions by stating a prediction or a hypothesis
- identify, with guidance, ways of finding answers to given questions
- carry out, with guidance, procedures that comprise a fair test
- identify materials and how they are used
- work independently or with others to carry out the identified procedures
- identify, with guidance, sources of information and ideas and access information and ideas from those sources. Sources may include library, classroom, community and computer-based resources
- communicate with group members, showing ability to contribute and receive ideas
- record observations and measurements accurately, using captioned pictures and charts, with guidance in the construction of charts. Computer resources may be used for record keeping and for display and interpretation of data
- state an inference, based on observations
- identify possible applications of what was learned
- identify new questions that arise from what was learned.
