System and System Models
*A system is an organized group of related objects or components; models can be used for understanding and predicting the behavior of systems.

Cause and Effect
*Events have causes, sometimes simple, sometimes multifaceted. Deciphering causal relationships, and the mechanisms by which they are mediated, is a major activity of science and engineering.

Structure and Function
*The way an object is shaped or structured determines many of its properties and functions.

Science and Engineering Process Standards
Looking Back Looking Ahead
Identify a simple problem with the design of an object that reflects a need or a want. Include criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost. (3-5.E.1) Mastery of this standard leads to success in all future science courses.
