Sequence of learning |
Materials/considerations |
1 |
Video: third-world water consumption How is water used? (hydro-electricity – possibly?) Research how water is currently being transported? Why do people transport water?
|
|
2 |
Understand the problem/build knowledge Students then come up with their own problem as to why they are transporting water. Eg, putting out fire, watering a garden,
|
Think pair share |
3 |
Investigate Edison |
Edison/Black matte duct tape |
4 |
Design the water carrier – (volume/weight/capacity –maths) Diagram (Labelled scientific diagram) |
Collect materials to make carrier out of |
5 |
Make carrier (Extension – time trials of how much water could be transported in …) |
|
6 |
Create a map of the groups terrain with scale/legend– (Maths - distance and measurement) |
|
7 |
Testing-modify |
|
8 |
Modifying and testing (extending?)evaluation |
|
Considerations:
Distance
Weight
Incline
Fire-regrowth
Terrain
