Agenda Monday October 2, 2017-Friday October 6, 2017



NGSS Standards:

MS-LS1-1.Conduct an investigation to provide evidence that living things are made of cells; either one cell or many different numbers and types of cells
MS-LS1-3.Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells. [
MS-LS1-8.Gather and synthesize information that sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.

Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success
Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved..
