Compare SAE curriculum to AIMS or GEMS curriculum.
You have seen how the math and science is integrated within the SAE curriculum (Jet Toy). Compare this to an AIMS or GEMS curriculum (found in the TRC).

Grade Level 3-4
Week #3: Jet Toy/Force and Motion Questions
The math involved in the World in Motion Jet Toy curriculum is graphing distance traveled vs. weight carried. Is this activity appropriate for the level of student you have been researching? Describe exactly what you would have a class do? In other words, what mathematics are they learning or are you teaching?
The science concepts involved in the curriculum include Newton's Laws of Motion. What force and motion concepts would you want students in the 3-4 band to know before exploring factors which can affect the distance traveled by the Jet Toy constructed in math methods? How did you decide this? (Hint: NSES). How would you adapt the learning episodes we explored in science methods to develop these force and motion concepts?
