Lab Beneath the WavesRatios6th Grade
Storyline
Science and Engineering Practices
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
The crew uses data, sensors, and observations to investigate the underwater labyrinth, the missing lab, and the problems faced during the mission.
Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
The crew applies mathematical concepts, such as ratios and calculations, to assess data, predict outcomes, and make informed decisions.
Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
The crew devises plans, evaluates evidence, and makes decisions based on collected data to solve the mystery of the missing lab and neutralize threats.
Engaging in Argument from Evidence
The crew discusses and analyzes data, patterns, and phenomena to arrive at conclusions and make decisions during the mission.
Crosscutting Concepts
Patterns
The crew observes patterns in the underwater labyrinth and phenomena to understand the situation and make decisions during the mission.
Cause and Effect
The crew understands the cause and effect of various actions, such as detonating reactors unevenly, and how it can impact the outcome of their mission.
