Learning Targets
- I can make observations about objects and their parts. #dok1
- I can describe how objects can be taken apart into smaller pieces. #dok2

- I can construct an evidence-based account of how objects can be disassembled and reassembled into new objects. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Objects can be made from smaller pieces that can be taken apart and used to create new objects.
- Observing and recording changes provides evidence for understanding how objects can be disassembled and reassembled.
Essential Questions
- What can happen when you take an object apart?
- How can the pieces of a disassembled object be used to make something new?
- What evidence can we collect when we take apart and rebuild objects?
- Why is it important to observe how objects are put together and taken apart?
- How do our observations help us explain changes in objects?
