In today's activity, you'll get a drawing of the first 30 seconds of the machine in the music video. You'll use symbols and labels to help you explain how the machine works.
Don't worry if you aren't sure of the right answer yet. You'll have an opportunity to change or add to your drawing throughout the Mysteries in this unit.
We'll walk you through it, step by step.
CONCEPTUAL MODEL:
Models are used by scientists to understand and explain something. A model is revised, or changed, as new information is learned.
There are many types of models, but you just finished creating a conceptual model.
A conceptual model helps scientists explain things that they can't see. After each Mystery, you will add the new things you've learned to your model.
You've completed the Anchor Phenomenon!
Be sure to keep each student's Rube Goldberg model worksheet accessible. They will use it in the Anchor Connection after each lesson.
