Type: Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

The class designs structure to represent their perfect day using the binary representation systems they've learned in this chapter. After deciding which pieces of information the record should capture, the class will decide how a punch card of bytes of information will be interpreted to represent those pieces of information. Afterward, everyone will use the ASCII, binary number, and image formats they have learned to represent their perfect days to try to decipher what a partner's perfect day is like.

Grade: 8
25) Create a model that represents a system.

Example: Food chain, supply and demand.

Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students will:
  • select a system or process then construct a model, either digital or physical, that represents the system process.
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • that systems or processes exist that may be too large to be easily observable and by creating a model of the system or process, one can then use the model in the problem-solving process.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • observe systems or processes in the real world that may require the creation of a model for the purposes of testing.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • models serve as representations of systems or processes in the problem-solving process.
