- Use coordinate points to identify features of their colonial settlement and track design revisions.
Science
The students will:
- Describe ways the colonists could use ideas from science to protect the resources and the environment in relation to their settlement.
English Language Arts
The students will:
- Use multiple sources to locate answers to questions and integrate information to communicate their findings.
Engineering Design Process
The students will:
- Use the engineering design process to plan, develop and refine a colonial settlement that can withstand various challenges.
