Systems for Problem-Solving and Predicting



We all seek to understand how the world works. Through this 
commonality, we learn to see the patterns that underpin phenomena.
 We learn to identify problems and dilemmas, and to form and test
 hypotheses to explain what we observe. We use this learning to help
 us form predictions about future patterns. We come to understand
 the underlying forces and principles that shape our world.

Key Concepts: Pattern, Function, Probability, Quantity, Data-handling

Key Vocabulary: turn, push, pull, fast / slow direction, position, machine, speed, 
distance, magnetic, rough / smooth, heavy / light, size, strong / weak, force motion,
mass, movement, weight, slope/ramp, surface, energy, still, slide, exert, volume,
incline, accelerate, decelerate, friction, gravity, frequency, innovate


Unit Summary:
Through their understanding of forces and motion, people can innovate
 to solve problems.

Unit Questions:
  • How and why do things move?
  • How can we describe how things move?
