How do the parts of a system (toy) work together? 1A(K-2)#1: Most things are made of parts.

11A(K-2)#2: Something may not work if some of its parts are missing.

11A(K-2)#3: When parts are put together, they can do things that they couldn't do by themselves.

 Class discussion of questions in Guide section (See bolded questions on page C8 in Teacher's Guide.)
  • Do students recognize that toys are made of parts?
  • Do students know that some or all parts of a toy are necessary for it to work?
  • Do students understand that the parts work together to allow the toy to work? Do students understand that the parts alone will not work, but together they make a working toy?

* Essential/Unit questions are major questions driving the unit. They are directly aligned with the benchmarks. No single lesson addresses each question in its entirety. By the end of the unit, students should be able to answer these core questions.

1. For conceptual benchmarks.
2. Bolded sections indicate portion of benchmark addressed
3. Unless noted as a Summative Assessment, the assessments are formative and should be used to guide teaching and learning.
