good magnets while others do
not?

system, which forms the image
that is relayed to the brain for
interpretation.

numerous inventions that play
important roles in our modern
technology that have changed
man’s lifestyles.
14. Motors convert electrical to
mechanical energy while

the voltage in a circuit by
stepping it up or down.

STAGE II- EVIDENCE OF LEARNING
Assessment Evidence
Engaging Scenario:
As part of the young league of engineers, your team decided to join the Annual Motor Boat Challenge,
which aims to generate novel ideas and resources that will help the government in its relief operations for
typhoon victims in remote areas. Your team will make a design proposal and a miniature sample of a motor boat.
The boat should run a minimum of two meters on water so that it can reach to more victims during actual
operations. It should be made of locally available and lightweight materials.
The blueprint and the small scale sample will be presented to the board of judges, which will be
composed of engineers and representatives from the disaster agency of the government. They will be judged
based on evidence of knowledge, functionality of the product, product performance, design details, materials used
and creativity.
