 * ===Unit Overview=== ||
 * Acme Toy company is in the red. Their recent line of battery eating power wasters is not selling in the troubled US economy. Acme Toy company needs you to design and build or modify an existing dynamic toy that does not use batteries or plug into an electrical outlet. You will apply your understanding of how energy can be transformed from one form to another when using the engineering design process to create a prototype of a dynamic toy. The toy should be able to store energy in some form and transform it into kinetic energy. And of course, the toy should be safe, non-violent and fun. The toys will be evaluated by a team of young children at a nearby daycare facility, and you will submit a report on the company wiki before a final decision on made to mass produce your toy. Can you save Acme Toy before it is too late...? ||

Understanding: Students will understand how force and motion are related.

Essential Question: How do forces affect motion? MBRSD is committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and accepting environment where students can explore and develop their creative and intellectual abilities. We shall educate students, promote their self-esteem, and encourage them to achieve their maximum potential. Students will demonstrate the ability to solve problems and to be self directed life-long learners. As productive members of our society students will demonstrate compassion and ethical judgment.
