| Students will identify the criteria and constraints
for a chosen problem and will design and refine a solution.
Students will give a presentation or poster in which they will:
• identify the trade-offs they made in their solution
• describe
how their solution meets the criteria and constraints of their
problem.
• describe how the parts of their aircraft work together
as a system.
• describe how their aircraft flies using the four
forces of flight.

• Students will create
a list of current issues/problems in the Air Transportation System.
• Students will choose roles and create a list of questions to research
the growing need for increased capacity in our Air Transportation
System.
• Students will gather and analyze information to answer their questions
that will help them design a solution to the Air Transportation Problem.
• Students will work as a team to share their research and brainstorm
solutions to the capacity problem in the Air Transportation System.
• Students will create a list of trade-offs associated with each of
their solutions.
• Students will create and give a poster or software created
presentation that describes one or more solutions to the capacity
problem in the
Air Transportation System, their associated trade-offs, and is based
on factual information gathered from their research. |

Content Standards for Grade 8 Science - With the focus on Physical
Forces section 1, and Motion section 2:
Section
8 Investigation and Experimentation
9. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful
questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for
understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other
three strands, students should develop their own questions and
perform investigations. Students will:
- Plan and conduct a scientific investigation to test
a hypothesis.
- Evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of data.
- Distinguish between variable and controlled parameters
in a test.
- Recognize the slope of the linear graph as the constant
in the relationship, and apply this principle in interpreting
graphs constructed from data.
- Construct appropriate graphs from data and develop
quantitative statements about the relationships between variables.
- Apply simple mathematic relationships to determine
a missing quantity in a mathematic expression, given the two
remaining terms (including speed = distance/time, density = mass/volume,
force = pressure x area, volume = area x height).
- Distinguish between linear and nonlinear relationships
on a graph of data.

academic standard for Grade 6 Math
Algebra and Functions
- 2.0 Students analyze and use tables, graphs, and rules to
solve problems involving rates and proportions.
- 2.1 Convert one unit of measurement to another (e.g., from
feet to miles, from centimeters to inches).
- 2.2 Demonstrate an understanding that rate is a measure of
one quantity per unit value of another quantity.
- 2.3 Solve problems involving rates, average speed, distance,
and time.
Statistics, Data Analysis, and Probability
- 3.0 Students determine theoretical and
experimental probabilities and use these to make predictions
about events.
- 3.1 Represent all possible outcomes for compound
events in an organized way (e.g., tables, grids, tree diagrams)
and express the theoretical
probability of each outcome. 3.2 Use data to estimate the probability
of future events (e.g., batting averages or number of accidents
per mile driven).
- 3.3 Represent probabilities as ratios, proportions,
decimals between 0 and 1, and percentages between 0 and 100
and verify
that the
probabilities computed are reasonable; know that if P is the
probability of an event, 1-P is the probability of an event
not occurring.
- 3.4 Understand that the probability of either of
two disjoint events occurring is the sum of the two individual
probabilities
and that
the probability of one event following another, in independent
trials, is the product of the two probabilities.
- 3.5 Understand
the difference between independent and dependent events.
