media type="custom" key="6721621" During our "LOST" unit we will need to know vocabulary in order to better understand scientific concepts. After viewing a 10 minute clip from the "LOST", the class will discuss problems encountered while on the island with possible solutions using scientific concepts while addressing the essential question, "Can all scientific laws be applied in life?" Students will create a brochure demonstrating their knowledge of the concepts taught during this unit. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the Essential Question, “Can all scientific laws be applied in real life”. They will do this by creating a brochure addressing the scientific concepts and laws taught during this unit. Students must use the vocabulary learned during this unit, provide graphics to reinforce the learning, give specific examples (may be an explanation of activities/labs, and apply to the “LOST” scenario. This information will later be used in designing/building their own raft and the technical writing assignment, which will be used as a final assessment for the unit. The brochure will be graded on a four point rubric.

Students will use the brochure to create a cycle graph on a possible raft design. After brainstorming within the group students will then create blue prints of a possible raft, then build and test the raft. When the raft achieves buoyancy, each group will demonstrate and present the raft to the class.
