POE Lesson 4.18 | LockwoodSTEM

✓Lesson Snapshot

I can analyze mission-performance data and defend a design recommendation using statistics, graphs, and kinematics.

Complete final calculations, create graphs, write conclusions, and present the Unit 4 investigation results.

Final data analysis and performance review

Notebook, calculator or spreadsheet, graph paper, test data, presentation tools

1ProblemUnderstand the challenge and why it matters.

A design review should explain what happened, how well the system performed, how consistent it was, and what the data suggest next.

2ConceptLearn the engineering idea or skill.

A strong engineering conclusion combines statistical evidence, motion calculations, graphs, uncertainty/error notes, and a clear recommendation.

3ApplyUse the skill in a guided task.

Analyze your final data set and prepare a short performance review that answers your investigation question.

4DocumentRecord your evidence and decisions.

Include graph(s), statistics, kinematic calculations, claim-evidence-reasoning, limitations, and next-step recommendation.

5ReviewCheck quality and identify your next step.

Your final review should make a data-supported argument about aerospace performance.

Use these files and shared website resources when they support today’s work.

Use for graphs, calculations, motion diagrams, data displays, and design sketches.

Use for repeated trials, rover-distance data, timing data, accuracy measurements, and observations.
