Digital Citizenship
This is the kind of information—like your full name, address, phone number, or school—you should never share with strangers online.
Personal information
This is the first step in the engineering design process, where you identify what problem needs to be solved.
Define the problem
This part of a circuit provides the energy needed to make electricity flow.
Power Source
The ______ describes the actual issue your invention is trying to fix.
Problem Statement
This is where the tradition of decorating trees at Christmastime first began:
Germany
If you see someone being bullied online, this is the safest and most responsible action to take.
Tell a trusted adult.
In this step, engineers gather facts, look at past solutions, and learn everything they can before designing.
Research the problem
A circuit must be in this state—meaning electricity can flow all the way through—for a lightbulb to turn on.
Closed
Here you describe what your invention will accomplish once it is created.
Outcome, Result, Conclusion
Which famous British royal family helped make Christmas trees—and ornaments—popular in the United Kingdom?
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
This term describes the trail of information you leave behind every time you post, comment, or like something online.
Digital Footprint
This step involves coming up with multiple possible ways to solve the problem before choosing one.
Brainstorming solutions
This device can open or close a circuit, allowing you to turn something on or off.
This keeps track of your ideas, challenges, changes, and progress as you develop your invention.
Inventor's Log
Before ornaments were made out of glass, what natural materials did people commonly hang on their trees?
Apples, nuts, and popcorn
This is the rule that reminds you to treat people online the same respectful way you would treat them face-to-face.
The Golden Rule (also would take "netiquette")
This is the step where engineers build a working model to test if their idea actually works.
Build a prototype
Name all 3 necessary parts of a circuit.
Power Source (also will take battery), Path, Load(s)
This aspect of your invention explains how your idea is unique or different from existing solutions.
Innovation (or Creativity)
What was the name of the German town that became famous for making hand-blown glass ornaments?
Lauscha
This is what can be managed so you can stay healthy, get enough sleep, and still enjoy offline activities.
Screen time
After testing their prototype, engineers do this to make the design better.
Making improvements
You set up a circuit with a battery, a switch, a light bulb, and a resistor. The bulb does not light. You check and see the battery is fully charged, the switch is on, the wires are properly connected, and the resistor is rated correctly for the bulb. However, you realize the bulb is slightly loose in its socket, and the metal isn’t fully touching. What kind of circuit is this?
Open
This part of your problem statement explains the problem in a way people can understand and relate to it.
Background/Context
What does the star on top of the tree represent?
The star symbolizes Betelhem.
