    šŸŽÆĀ What academic standards does this crate align with?Ā 

    Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):

    • MS-ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. Alignment: Students engage in designing and building models, such as the 3D Wooden Eiffel Tower, fostering evaluation of design solutions.
    • MS-ETS1-4: Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process to achieve an optimal design. Alignment: The crate's activities involve creating and refining architectural drawings and models, promoting iterative testing and design optimization.

    National Core Arts Standards (NCAS):

    • VA:Cr1.2.6a: Formulate an artistic investigation of personally relevant content for creating art.
    • Alignment: Through sketching world-famous landmarks and engaging in creative design projects, students explore personally meaningful artistic expressions.
    • VA:Re7.1.8a: Explain how a personā€™s aesthetic choices are influenced by culture and environment and impact the visual image that one conveys to others.
    • Alignment: Learning about various architectural styles and their historical significance helps students understand the cultural influences on design aesthetics.

    Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM):

    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.G.A.1: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
    • Alignment: The architectural drawing exercises require students to work with scale drawings, enhancing their understanding of geometry and proportion.
    • CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.G.A.4: Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two-dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
    • Alignment: Students analyze spatial relationships and transformations while creating and comparing architectural forms.
