MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
K-2-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests of two objects designed to solve the same problem to compare the strengths and weaknesses of how each performs.
3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
3-5-ETS1-3. Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
3-5-ETS1-2. Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
3-5-ETS1-1. Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
1-PS4-2. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that objects in darkness can be seen only when illuminated.

Practicing to be responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology
Using information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content
Understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions.
Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts.
Use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output.
Apply computing and use electronics to embed intelligence in products that respond to inputs, and control outputs, using programmable components
Select from and use a wider, more complex range of materials, components and ingredients, taking into account their properties
Understand how more advanced electrical and electronic systems can be powered and used in their products
Select from and use specialist tools, techniques, processes, equipment and machinery precisely, including computer-aided manufacture
Identify and solve their own design problems and understand how to reformulate problems given to them
Develop specifications to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that respond to needs in a variety of situations
Critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others
Connecting subjects learned at school to skills needed at working life
Learning to plan and organize work processes
Practicing to work with others
Learning to understand the meaning of rules, contracts and trust
Learning decision-making, influencing and accountability
Learning to build information on top of previously learned
Developing problem solving skills
Practicing to plan and execute studies, make observations and measurements
