17 AUTOMATA = STEAM IN MOTION
SCIENCE: Newton’s Laws of Motion // gravitational force // simple machines // push + pull // balanced vs. unbalanced forces TECHNOLOGY: Systems integration // robotics ENGINEERING: Simple machines // design process // prototyping // developing solutions ARTS: 3D form // kinetic sculpture // constructing meaning MATH: Measurement // 2D and 3D shapes // standards for mathematical practice
