**How do bears, and other animals, meet their needs?**

Standards:
GLE 0007.Inq.1Observe the world of familiar objects using the senses and tools. GLE 0007.Inq.2Ask questions, make logical predictions, plan investigations, and represent data. GLE 0007.Inq.3Explain the data from an investigation. GLE 0007.1.1 Recognize that many things are made of parts. GLE 0007.2.1 Recognize that some things are living and some are not. ||
 * ===Science=== ||
 * GLE 0007.2.2Know that people interact with their environment through their senses.

Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. ||
 * ===Technology/ISTE=== ||
 * Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations.

GLE 0006.4.2Use positional terms to specify locations with simple relationships. GLE 0006.5.2Re-sort objects using new attributes. GLE 0006.1.1Use mathematical language, symbols, and definitions while developing mathematical reasoning. || GLE 0007.T/E.K-2.1Recognize that both natural materials and human-made tools have specific characteristics that determine their use. ||
 * ===Math=== ||
 * GLE 0006.3.2Recognize attributes (such as color, shape, size) and patterns (such as repeated pairs, bilateral symmetry).
 * ===Engineering/Inquiry=== ||
 * GLE 0007.T/E.2Apply engineering design and creative thinking to solve practical problems.

**Performance Assessment Project:**

 * **Describe Project** - What will the student do or create to demonstrate knowledge acquired? ||
 * Students will build a piece of furniture (stool, chair, bed, etc) that would support the weight of the bears. ||


 * **Scaffolding** - What are you providing to make students successful? ||
 * TTW provide an example for students to view. (stool, chair, bed, etc) and demonstrate how to determine whether the item is strong enough to support the weight of a given bear. ||

Students will use senses to interact with their environment. Students will use positional terms to relate to objects. ||
 * **Materials** - What materials will you need to teach this unit? ||
 * Materials to build the furniture (1 inch blocks, lincoln logs, wooden blocks, legos, tinker toys, kid kinetics, linking cubes) ||
 * **Timeline** ||
 * First 9 weeks ||
 * **Rubric**- (Attach project rubric here) ||
 * **Supporting Activities for Unit**- What activities will be done throughout the unit to support the learning? ||
 * Students will classify objects according to color, shape, size, etc.
 * Students will classify objects according to color, shape, size, etc.
