Storyline

The UCE needs the crew's help to retrieve "borrowed" prototypes from a swarm of GAL-Delilah's.

RALF has volunteered to sneak into a remote facility to retrieve the UCE's prototypes. The crew will need to design a disguise for RALF that helps him pass for a GAL-Delilah. Making it into the facility is just the beginning, though....

Science and Engineering Practices

Developing and Using Models

  • Develop a diagram or simple physical prototype to convey a proposed object, tool, or process.

Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

  • Use evidence (e.g., measurements, observations, patterns) to construct or support an explanation or design a solution to a problem.

  • Identify the evidence that supports particular points in an explanation.

  • Generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem based on how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the design solution.

Engaging in Argument from Evidence

  • Respectfuly provide and receive critiques from peers about a proposed procedure, explanation, or model by citing relevant evidence and posing specific questions.

  • Construct and/or support an argument with evidence, data, and/or a model.

Resources

  • Device for teacher
  • Laptops or iPads for each student in class
