Ocean Waves - Task G
Lesson
Alignment and Connections of Task Components to the Standards Bundle <br> Task Component G asks students to develop and communicate the criteria and tradeoffs that should be considered when an island or seaside community decides to shop around for a wave energy converter design. This partially addresses the NGSS performance expectation MS-ETS1-1 and partially addresses parts of the associated practice of Asking Questions and Defining Problems, the core idea of ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems, and the crosscutting connection of Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World. <br> By communicating their findings in a presentation or report, students demonstrate part of the NGSS practice of Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information. By creating a report or presentation, students can demonstrate either W.8.2, W.8.2a, W.8.2b, W.8.2c, W.8.2d, W.8.2e, W.8.2f, WHST.6-8.2, WHST.6-8.2a, WHST.6-8.2b, WHST.6-8.2c, WHST.6-8.2d, WHST.6-8.2e, and WHST.6-8.2f, writing to inform or explain or on SL.8.4, presenting claims and findings orally.
