Testing Materials to Meet an Intended Purpose 2-PS1-2 Assessment Imperial Valley Discovery Zone “Inquiry Learning in Science” Testing Materials to Meet an Intended Purpose Here’s your first question! 1. What material would NOT be a good choice for protection from fire? A. straw brick metal rocks After you are sure of your answer, hold it up! IVDZ

After you are sure of your answer, hold it up! 2-PS1-2 Assessment Imperial Valley Discovery Zone “Inquiry Learning in Science” Why was it important to keep the fan distance to the house the same for the straw, brick, and wood houses? so that the wind blows at the same speed on all houses because the brick house was stronger than other houses because the houses are all different sizes D. because we want to knock over the brick house After you are sure of your answer, hold it up!

IVDZ Imperial Valley Discovery Zone 2-PS1-2 Assessment Imperial Valley Discovery Zone “Inquiry Learning in Science” 3. You did a fair experiment on three different materials. All of the following can make for a “fair test” except one. Find the one that would NOT make for a “fair test”. wind speeds all being the same making all house sizes and shapes the same the same amount of time for the wind blowing on all houses moving the fan closer to the wood house only IVDZ

What can you say about the pig who built the brick house? The brick house took a lot of skill and work to build. The pig is a good worker and knows his job is important. The pig understands that the house must be strong. All of the above. IVDZ

Testing Materials to Meet an Intended Purpose 2-PS1-2 Discussion Imperial Valley Discovery Zone “Inquiry Learning in Science” Testing Materials to Meet an Intended Purpose Discussion Question How are houses up north, where it snows, built differently than homes here in Imperial? What does a house in the cold need to do? What does a house in the desert (Imperial) need to do? Would engineers use different machines and materials to accomplish that? Best materials and machines for cold weather… Best materials and machines for hot weather… Do you see any differences in the shape of these houses? Why is that? What would happen to a house from the desert if you moved it to an area with snow?
