Cause and Effect:
|
Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering):
- Asking questions and defining problems in grades K–2 builds on prior experiences and progresses to simple descriptive questions that can be tested.
- Ask questions based on observations to find more information about the designed world.
|
Natural Hazards:
- Some kinds of severe weather are more likely than others in a given region.
- Weather scientists forecast severe weather so that the communities can prepare for and respond to these events.
Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem:
- Asking questions, making observations, and gathering information are helpful in thinking about problems.
Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology:
- People encounter questions about the natural world every day.
Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World:
- People depend on various technologies in their lives; human life would be very different without technology.
