CRITICAL LOAD Lesson Lesson Goals: (Students Echo Read below) We will learn about critical load engineering using teamwork to solve problems LANGUAGE OBJECTIVES: Students will describe the group process using past tense verbs Students will explain benefits of collaboration using complete sentences

What is critical load? Critical load is the maximum weight a structure can hold.

Name______ Date _______ ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why is working collaboratively important? critical maximum critical crítico adjective serious Critical details are important for us to understand if something is true. not sure I think I understand I can accurately use this word Work with a partner to write a sentence using the word critical accurately Be prepared to share with the class

Name______ Date _______ ESSENTIAL QUESTION: Why is working collaboratively important? critical maximum máximo adjective the most The maximum number of points on the test is 100. not sure I think I understand I can accurately use this word Work with a partner to write a sentence using the word maximum accurately. Be prepared to share with the class.

Turn and talk with a partner: Think about the video you just watched. What is critical load? Explain to your partner

What is engineering? Engineering is the work of designing and building structures to solve problems

What is teamwork ? Actions by a group to accomplish a task (working together, working collaboratively).

TEACHER SLIDE: CRITICAL LOAD* Materials for Card Stacking: Each team: twelve unused playing cards (4 cards per person) one roll of scotch tape Testing materials: plastic container to hold objects objects to build weight (coins, marbles, sand) ●See notes on this slide for activity procedure (also in Haiku) ●Student work page/note on Haiku AEL and Student Support > LAB (delivered to sites)

CRITICAL LOAD - TEAMWORK TASK- With your team, use your materials to create a structure that will hold the most weight. (A structure is something built such as a building or a bridge) (cognate: estructura)

Plan out a structure, and build a prototype for testing (10-15 minutes) (a prototype is a model)

Place weights on each team's prototype, increasing the weight until the structure fails. (fails means unsuccessful, does not work) (cognate: prototipo)

Chart the maximum* load each prototype successfully held just before it failed). (maximum is the most*) Group NumberMaximum Load

CRITICAL LOAD -TEAMS DISCUSS What was your vision/plan for your design? Explain: Why do you think your design did well or failed? How would you adjust the design if you could do it again?

CRITICAL LOAD -TEAMS PRESENT What was your vision/plan for your design? Explain: Why do you think your design did well or failed? How would you adjust the design if you could do it again?
