100

An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine.

It is made up of a lot of codes



What is Program?

100

the origin of the energy needed to make things go

what is Power Source?

100

Create, test, COLLECT DATA, analyze, and reflect

what is Build and Test?

100

A plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made

what is design?

100

When an object is placed in water, it pushes enough water out of the way to make room for itself.

what is displacement?

200

The action of doing something over and over again.
pattern matching: Finding similarities between things.

what is Loop?

200

to convey energy in a channel, energy can travel through it.

what is Conductive?

200

thinking through all solutions, collecting data,
ASKING QUESTIONS.

what is Define the Problem?

200

to build

what is construct?

200

the ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid. UPWARD FORCE



what is buoyancy?

300

A list of steps to finish a task. A set of instructions that can be performed with or without a computer. For example, the collection of steps to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is an algorithm

what is Algorithm ?

300

An electric circuit through which current can flow in an uninterrupted path.

what is Closed Circuit?

300

pick one idea, create a DETAILED SKETCH of the solution

what is Design a Solution?

300

discover or reveal (something) through detailed examination

what is analyze?

300

the force that pulls objects toward earth



What is gravity?

400

One or more commands or algorithm(s) designed to be carried out by a computer

What is Code?

400

an incomplete electrical circuit in which no current flows

what is Open Circuit?

400

what is Evaluate Solution?

400

Examine and judge carefully.

what is evaluate?
400

Mass per unit volume

what is density?
500

The three main parts of a bridge and their positions

What is

Superstructure: top

Substructure: middle

Foundation: underground (bottom)

500

A connection that allows electrical current to take the path of least resistance



what is Short Circuit?

500

RESEARCH past solutions, BRAINSTORM new solutions

what is Generate Concepts?

500

construct or convert (a building) so as to improve existing resources.  To make it better.



what is develop?
500

Explain why a pebble sinks but a ship floats

the amount of displacement from an objects weight (density) is enough for buoyancy to be able to keep it afloat.
